System description: Diagnosis
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.
When the ignition is switched on, the servomotors for HBA are set to the minimal position and subsequently returned to the initial position. There is a fault in one or both motor circuits if the servomotors are not set to minimum position when the ignition is switched on. The angle sensor (axle position sensors) are faulty if the servomotors are not set to high-beam position when high beam is activated (terminal 58 on).
NOTE:
When high beam is activated, the servomotors are set to high-beam position only if the parking light is switched on (terminal 58).
NOTE:
If there are faults in the motor circuit, the fault memory will be updated only after the ignition has been switched off and then on again. After remedying the fault cause, switch the ignition off and then on again and subsequently erase the fault memory.
If the fault cause has been remedied, faults in the sensor circuit will be automatically deleted when the ignition is switched off and then on again.
