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 performed work without a confirmed outcome: 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.

OPC Glasgow are claiming that the unit has been retrofitted or replaced, but this simply isn't the case as it's a one owner car and came factory fitted with the PCM.

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

Hi folks I recently replaced the battery in my 2002 996 3.6 and ofcourse somewhere down the line managed to reset the PCM I system the car has. Now PCM is asking for the PCM pin code everytime I start the car. OPC Glasgow offered me a code using my cars chassis number, but it doesnt work. Although my car has all the original Documents - I can't find the 'pin code' card!!! OPC Glasgow are claiming that the unit has been retrofitted or replaced, but this simply isn't the case as it's a one owner car and came factory fitted with the PCM. They are suggesting removeing the unit and sending it down to ??Becker in London ata cost of £150 plus. Can anyone help? Has anyone else been in this situation and do OPCs have both the NAV and PCM codes that are unique to each vehicle? (I understand the NAV code only needs entering when the vehicle is new) Any help would be greatly appreciated as without the Nav, I'm getting lost a lot of the time. kind regards Raj Migration info.

POST 2Original post

You *may* find the unit was replaced under warranty (a lot were!) and the OPC hasn't recorded the serial number against the chassis - I'd try contacting the previous owner and seeing if they remember anything about it being replaced. Other than that, it wouldn't be the first time Porsche recorded the wrong serial number against a chassis :roll: Philip Migration info. Legacy thread was 116968
