I bought the parts to modify the plug but Its hard enough to get to without a lift just to remove and replace the current sensor but to modify the plug while still on the car would be nearly impossible.

Does anyone know why Porsche changed the plug to begin with?

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My CPS is going out. When I ordered a new one it indicated the recieving plug had been updated and if I had the original plug I would need to update the plug. I bought the parts to modify the plug but Its hard enough to get to without a lift just to remove and replace the current sensor but to modify the plug while still on the car would be nearly impossible. My thought is to just splice the old CPS connector onto the new sensor. I assume there are three color coded wires in the cable. Unless the old plug is damaged it seems that would be the easiest fix and can be done in a better work situation. Does anyone know why Porsche changed the plug to begin with? Any thoughts on splicing the old CPS connector onto the new CPS ?
