Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I recently went on a trip and left my 996 locked for more than 5 days. On return, I entered with the key but neglected to reset the system with the key fob before opening the door. Nothing I could do would reset the system. Yes, I know. Two beeps, three beeps, ignition off, ignition on, standing on right foot while holding fob behind my back. Nothing worked. Faced with a visit to the local stealership, I did the unthinkable - I disconnected the battery. That reset the system and all went back to normal. Interestingly, a 30second disconnect didn't do it. I found I had to disconnect the battery for a long period - a couple hours as I had other things to do - before it reset. Although I had to reset the clock and re-enter the radio code, everything else remained including the radio presets. I hope this saves someone else a few bucks.
