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.

10 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 1Original post

Where is the ECU in the car? Difficult to remove?

POST 2Original post

Not sure why you would want to remove it, but it is in the rear of the car. You might check this thread out: http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-tech/12287-where-our-ecu.html K-Man S would probably be the best person to tell you the steps to removing it and the difficulty in removing it.

POST 3Original post

Not hard to remove, but I'm not sure why someone would want to, you cannot swap in a Euro ECU anymore into a US car, Porsche has nixed that past trick. The ECU is programmable via OBDII port so unless you are creating a custom piggyback solution I don't see why you'd want to take it out unless it went bad or something...

POST 4Original post

While not related to ECU removal, I do hae a ECU programming question. I do not have Sport Chron or PASM . Does anyone know if the ECU can be programmed for the "sport mode" supressed PSM threshold? I would hate to turn off PSM altogether on the track but it does kick in a bit too soon for me and a delay PSM turn on, like in sport mode, would be most useful. I have a GAIC ECU flash but GAIC said that they don't mess with the PSM threshold in their programming.

POST 5Original post

PSM runs on a different bus and requires different programming, it "can" be done, but I would want someone who really knows what they are doing to do something like that, someone like PCA-TECH is who I would start with.

POST 6Original post

So the OBDII port is where you plug another computer to? Where about is that port in the rear of the car?

POST 7Original post

The OBDII port is under the dash on the drivers side (assuming you have LHD). Your owner's manual shows you where it is, I do believe. brad

POST 8Original post

Hi K-Man S, maybe you could help me. I have an issue with the coolant temperature wires that connect to C17 and C22 (info received in another post) but I have no idea which of the 2 connectors is it linked to and what pin numbering scheme is used. do you know where to find an electrical diagram of the ecu? Can I disconnect the connectors without removing the module? i cross my fingers and hope this is a wire broken and not an ecu issue (I guess I would have more than 1 error in that case) I checked but have no voltage at the sensor connector thanks for any help available

POST 10Original post

Well, I came across this thread looking for the ECU location for a 2006 Cayman S . Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
