All,

I recently had a battery discharged in my 991.1TT which triggered a PASM/PADM fault in the memory. After searching numerous forums and threads, I've tried a everything from buying a new battery, re-calibrating the Steering Angle Sensor and using the iCarSoft POR II scanner (which for the 991's, does not have an option to clear PASM/PADM faults). From what I've seen, it looks like the active engine mounts fail but and I'm hoping it's a coincidence that the faults appeared due to the battery being severely discharged. I'd like to try clearing the code first to see if it's just the code.

I wanted to float the following questions -
1) Has anyone here experienced similar faults due to battery drain and how was it resolved?

2) Scanners - I know the popular options out there are the Durametric and iCarSoft POR II. I found that the latter cannot clear PASM/PADM faults but does anyone know if the Durametric (enthusiast version) can do this specifically for the 991.1? My Snap-On Solus Ultra does not have the Porsche update (they want one of my limbs for it) and the POR II couldn't clear PASM warnings.

Been drinking from a fire hose trying to digest/learn as much as I can and I think I've reached a point where everything feels like a blur. Any help from folks would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Durametric Pro. No idea if it'll do what you need, but you are welcome to come over and we can give it a try. Send me a PM if interested.

Hey, Kenny--welcome to the board. Go here to introduce yourself.

is this similar to when there's a PSM fault right after disconnecting / changing the battery? (the remedy being "just drive it around for a few mins and it clears itself")

Thanks for referring me here doc- got a chance to connect with Bill C who lended a helping hand with his durometric pro. Looking forward to learning and contributing.

Spiff- yes, it’s the same type of error. Unfortunately I tried everything from turning the wheel lock to lock before driving straight to recalibrate the steering angle sensor to different code scanners (iCarSoft and duro pro); none of which were able to reset/clear the PASM fault.

The result was me taking it over to Porsche Silver Spring where Jesse South really took care of me. They just reset things with the PIWIS and off I went. I’ve serviced all my previous BMW’s at BMW silver spring (both part of MileOne conglomerate) and the tradition continues with the excellent service.
