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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Forigve my current ignorance, but Im usually pretty good with catching on to all the acronyms. I searched and no such thread explaining the more commonlyy used ones and thought maybe this thread could serve a dictionary of sorts. RMS....rear main seal PASM...Porsche Active Stability Managment (assist that adjusts the suspension damping) PSM...Porsche Stability Managment (assist that automatically engages the ABS and engine management systems) CPO...certified pre-owned PPI....pre-purchase inspection LSD...limited slip differential DE...driver education, aka trackdays Am I correct on these,...any more to add to the list?

POST 3Original post

PASM is Porsche Active Suspension Management which differs from PSM. It is availble on later models, but not the 996.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all...I'll update the original post. Just so I am clear...PASM or Porsche Active Suspension Managment is an assist that ajusts the suspension damping. PSM or Porsche Stability Managment is an assist that automatically engages the ABS and engine management systems.

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