Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

  • 986Forum: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just knocked out Project 91 from the 101 Projects book and made another DIY video. Not a bad job at all. Follow up video with enabling the OBC via a Durametric will be coming soon! https://youtu.be/cXGQv7PgFzw EDIT: Here is part 2, enabling it with the Durametric Tool. https://youtu.be/g8NBkw3brFE

POST 2Original post

I just tried to do this on my 03 S and I got an alert saying it is already enabled... I intend to do this without the stalk so I can get just the temp reading. The only things I'm currently seeing are the odo reading and the trip counter. Seems like a similar issue was found here but I didn't have any luck with disconnecting the battery: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/63060-obc-enable-durametric.html I am getting an error code 9114: PCM control unit and I suspect this is coming from the removal of the MOST connection to the stereo, amp, and cd changer. I ordered some MOST terminators from china for $2.50 each and will see if those fix both the 9114 code and the OBC.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
