siddleg Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 The November 2017 issue of this great mag has just covered electronic diagnostics on a 2000 plate 986 2.7 which is very in depth the article covers everything from ailing coil packs to main cable starter motor issues and lots in between. £4 from any good newsagents well worth a read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwdg Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Intrigued by this comment:- if the battery is disconnected or goes flat, a steering angle sensor calibration will be required - note that this can only be done with certain diagnostic tools. I then googled this - (google is your friend) and found this: https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=770011 (I know that relates to later cars and the Cayman, but is it similar for 986’s?) Anyone had this issue/does this post battery disconnection...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddleg Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looks to be a right pain if you disconnect or discharge your battery. Can you not keep all these systems alive by plugging in an ecu memory saver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddleg Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 So how many of you have replaced your battery without any of this trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwdg Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I presume this only affects the later versions.. not the 986, the magazine article does not stipulate that whereas the link does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
