Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was looking at this 2000 with 57K. Car is located at shop where I take my 88 in for service. The problem is the check engine light came after driving. Took car back and the owner hook it up to see what code comes up and it states in so many words that it can't reconize the computer in the car. Any ideas

POST 2Original post

They aren't using a Porsche code reader. Many after market readers do not speak "porsche"

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

could the check engine light be a cause of concern as far as engine problems or does it fall under emissions. thanks

POST 4Original post

Yes, it could be a cause of concern. It also might not be. There is no way of knowing without getting the codes it's throwing. They most likely are emissions codes, but could be others. Even if it IS an emissions code, something like camshaft position sensor erros (points to timing being slightly off), it may or may not be anything to worry about. So, I took a lot of words to say, you gotta get the codes to know anything.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for your help. getting the codes is #1 priority

POST 6Original post

Billy, You can take the car to TPC (Levitas shop) and have it checked there, Candy.

POST 7Original post

Another reaseon is that the ECU has been altered with hardware. (chipping). Most flash programming does not cause this, but a few years ago some tuners were installing components to the boards.

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