Fault memory Info key "F8"
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In order to be able to assess the fault exactly, the fault memory Info key "F8" must be pressed. This information should be saved using the Save key [F4] and printed out. If a fault code is stored with "not present" status and no other problems are present, then the fault memory must be erased.
FAULT TYPE - FREQUENCY COUNTER/TEMPERATURE/VOLTAGE; SPEED/TIME OF OCCURRENCE
| Fault type | The display shows which fault type has occurred:
|
| Frequency counter | When a fault first occurs, a fault entry is made in the fault memory and the counter is simultaneously set to 50. If a fault is present, the counter is incremented by 1 for each "ignition on". The maximum count is 100. The counter is decremented if the fault is no longer present. The fault memory is erased automatically when the counter reaches 0. |
| First occurrence (month, day) | The date (month and day) on which the fault was first detected is displayed. |
| Temperature - first occurrence | The value indicates the temperature (temperature sensor in the gateway) at the time the fault occurred. The temperature of the fibre optic transmitter is monitored: max 85°C. |
| Speed - first occurrence | The value indicates the vehicle speed at the time the fault occurred. |
| Supply voltage - first occurrence | The value indicates the voltage at the time the fault occurred. |
| Hourmeter - first occurrence | The value indicates the operating hours at the time the fault first occurred. |
| Last occurrence (month, day) | The date (month and day) on which the fault was last detected is displayed. |
| Temperature - last occurrence | The value indicates the temperature (temperature sensor in the gateway) at the time the fault was last detected. The temperature of the fibre optic transmitter (FOT) is monitored: max 85 °C. |
| Supply voltage - last occurrence | The value indicates the voltage at the time the fault last occurred. |
| Hourmeter - last occurrence | The value indicates the operating hours at the time the fault was last detected. |
