It changed the settings over to celsius and, since I didn't have the list of what means what (0c,1c,2c, etc.) handy, basically confused me.
Leading evidence: 'Replace settings over' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check mode and it's in c, won't go' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Go back into check mode and it's in C, won't go to F.

The I exit (hit "Auto") and tried changing the F to C, which worked.

This is an old thread, but I cant change the temp to read ferinheight, its stuck on Celsius.
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.

I was trying the climate control diagnostic/hack (hold down recirc and up vent together for 5 seconds) on a friend's '04 GT3, and it wasn't working.
Think that's a MKII difference? Or a GT3 difference?
From Ferd - Thanks!
Porsche AC Diagnostics
(undocumented, unsupported feature)
The AC Climatronic unit is actually manufactured by Audi. There is some sort of serial data stream (not CAN) that allows the AC unit to display engine parameters. This works on 1997-2000 boxsters. Same as 996....
To switch from F to C:
Hold down the recirculating button then push both the temperature + - buttons.
To access diagnostics:
Hold down the Recirculating & Air up buttons for 5 seconds. The + - buttons go up and down through the list of "c" codes. The center vent button switches the left display between the "c" code and its actual value. Press the Auto button to exit.
I have yet to verify all these, this info was copied from wonderful people on PPBB!
Here is a list of what can be seen:
0c - ERL
1c - Oil Temp?
2c - Inside temp. Sensor mounted in the aspirator assembly at the side of the dash.
3c - Outside temp. Sensor located inside the air inlet of the A/C unit.
4c - Outside temp. Sensor located in front grill of the radiator. The data is fed to the Climatronic from the instrument cluster. When not moving, the instrument cluster OBC temp display retains it's last setting until moving. This is to prevent heat emanating from the radiator affecting the temperature sensor. The A/C unit uses the lower of the two outside air temp values in determining fresh-air temp.
5c - Outside temp. (matches OBC outside temp display)
6c - Coolant temp.
7c - Footwell discharge temp.
8c - Sun sensor (dash top)
9c - Sun sensor.
10c - Passenger compartment fan speed.
11c - Passenger compartment fan voltage.
12c - Temperature mix Flap command 1=COLD, 100=HOT
13c - Temperature mix Flap position
14c - Central Flap command
15c - Central Flap position
16c - Footwell/Defrost Flap command
17c - Footwell/Defrost Flap position
18c - Recirculation Valve command 1=OFF, 100=RECIRC
19c - Recirculation Valve position (feedback)
20c - Vehicle speed in kph, updating only once per second. (real speed, not speed+safety margin as in the speedometer)
21c - Engine RPM in hundreds. This too only updates once per second.
22c - ?
23c - ?
24c - Sun sensor, exterior lights switch & panel lights control (term. 58 & 58d voltage) - used for A/C panel display illum.
25c - ?
26c - ?
27c - ?
28c - Fan speed?
29c - ?
30c - Engine run time in seconds (255 max.)(=0xff)
31c - Timing counter
32c - Displays test
33c - Software version? Mine states 3.4
34c - ?
35c - Outside temp. from inlet sensor (filtered?)
36c - temp?
Forget about the climate control "diagnostics" - they are pretty much worthless.
I have both a PST2 and PIWIS tester and those climate control "diagnostics" never match up with the Porsche tool readings.
Buy the Durametric software/cable and get the same information Porsche gets with their expensive diagnostic tools.
This morning I held down the recric and air up buttons before setting off for work to see if I could liven up my short commute. It changed the settings over to celsius and, since I didn't have the list of what means what (0c,1c,2c, etc.) handy, basically confused me. Now I just want to change it back to fahrenheit and forget about it until I have more time to mess with it. But I can't figure out how to change it back. Any suggestions?
[QUOTE=JReid;7061787]Couldn't get this one to work. Thanks.
This is an old thread, but I cant change the temp to read ferinheight, its stuck on Celsius.
Raising this one from the dead!
I started fiddling with this last night.
Weird thing is, my AC was showing temp in F, but when I went to the "diagnostics" my coolant temp was showing in C. Tried holding down the circ button and both the + - buttons but it stated in C.
The I exit (hit "Auto") and tried changing the F to C, which worked. Go back into check mode and it's in C, won't go to F. Oh well, guess I will refamiliarize myself with the C scale.
