I have a 06
boxster base
5 spd manual
Had fault code for passenger door actuator. I replaced twice. Still fault code. Wouldn’t auto up. I bought a salvage window motor. All work now but comes up with these faults. Maybe came out of salvage

If you have a manual trans, then something is up because two of the errors shown are related to a tiptronic...?
I see there are 2 codes showing for the passenger door, but it's not showing what they are. I think you need to dig deeper into the 2 door fault codes, to see what they are. As for the tiptronic error, it sounds like the car is misconfigured, so you need to fix that.
You said that something "came out of salvage
PDK
"... what do you mean by that? What was pulled from a
PDK
vehicle? The door actuator? That shouldn't make tip-codes showup in the car... something else may have been replaced and not reprogrammed?
I bought the window motor from salvage yard
I asked them if they had vin from car. They do not. Only thing I can think of it came out of an automatic
pdk
car. What that has to do with a window motor?
Have you tried checking your fuses?
I don't think the window motor has anything to do with those errors. I think you just have a configuration error in the car that is unrelated to the window motor.
Are you saying you didn't have these codes before the window motor replacement, and now you do? That would be weird, but if your battery goes low then maybe a module lost its mind and lost the config or something. Just go in and fix it... or ignore it if the car is operating fine.
Yes it only showed up. Installing salvage window motor
If this thread reads a bit wacky - that's because it's a merge of two threads on the same topic by the OP. Folks - please don't do that. It makes work for moderators, and starts to make us look like Facebook.. (where they have the option to blast the same post as many "groups" as you belong to and want..)
I think I have some insight into this - and have responded to the question on another forum - adding my input here in case it helps someone down the line ( that said it has yet to be proven correct so consider it not definite)
The window motor actually also contains the door module/control unit. They have coding values for a fair few things, one of which is "Manual Transmission" yes/no - I think this is to do with the feature on cars with memory seats and auto trans having the ability to dip the mirror when reversing, but I don't know that for sure. So, it seems entirely possible that the salvage unit came from an auto trans car. One of the codes actually points to a coding error ( cant remember which one )
Coding wise:
PIWIS
can change it, Duramteric might (not tested it),
Foxwell NT530
might (again, not tested), and perhaps
THINKDIAG
I have also read of people swapping the control modules over - although that was when someone used an
audi
motor, and put the
porsche
module into it which seemed to work.
Hope this helps someone.
Thank you. You’re very knowledgeable
