Funktionsweise des Diagnose Tools :
Das mitgelieferte OBD2 Kabel wird mit dem USB Anschluss Ihres Computers verbunden. Sobald das Kabel mit dem Fahrzeug verbunden wird, können die Fahrzeug-Systeme angezeigt und auslesen werden.
Kann das Diagnose Tool Warnleuchten (Airbag, Check-Engine usw.) löschen?
Ja! Unser System kann nicht nur die Wanrleuchten löschen es zeigt auch den Grund warum die Warnleuchten aufgeleuchtet haben.
Unterschied zwischen Durametric Diagnose Tool und anderen OBD2 Scannern:
Das Durametric Diagnose Tool kommuniziert mit den Fahrzeug-Systemen in gleicher Weise wie es die Scanner der Fahrzeughersteller tun und kann so auf alle Systeme im Fahrzeug zugreifen. OBD2 wurde Anfangs von den Fahrzeugherstellern nur zum Auslesen der Emissionsrelevanten Anwendungen entwickelt. Heute wird über die OBD2 Schnittstelle die gesamte Fahrzeugelektronik erfasst und ausgelesen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Will this software clear the "Service Now" that is displayed in the instrument cluster?
Answer: Yes! This software can clear the service reminder on all supported Porsches.
Question: What is the difference between the Enthusiast kit and the Professional kit?
Answer: In Durametric version 5, the difference is the number of cars the kit allows you to work on. The Enthusiast kits are limited to use on 3 cars - managed by VIN, not model. The Professional kit has no limit to the number of cars on which it can be used. With the introduction of Durametric version 6, the Professional kits alone gain the ability to perform Coding changes on supported control units.
Question: What is Coding?
Answer: Coding is the ability to change predefined editible settings on control units that support the option. Settings typically include those that localize the car for a particular market (e.g., the language or units of measure displayed on the instrument cluster) or enable or disable car variations (e.g., with our without chronometer, LED lights, etc...).
Question: Why doesn't the Enthusiast kit support Coding?
Answer: This was a business decision based on the margin of the Enthusiast kit and the cost of support. By popular demand, the Enthusiast kits support enabling the OBC which, technically, is a Coding option.
Question: What models does Durametric support?
Answer: Durametric supports the following Porsche models: 1990 and newer 944, 968, 964 & 993 Carrera, 986 Boxster, 996 Carrera, 987 Boxster, 987 Cayman, 997 Carrera, and 2003-2007 955 Cayenne. We are always working on new models and features.
Question: Does this software work on European Specification or ROW (Rest Of World) cars?
Answer: Yes! This software works on all models we support regardless of the country for which the car was made.
Question: Can this software recalibrate the mileage?
Answer: No. This software cannot change the mileage on any car.
Question: Can the software reset the service reminder? The car's instrument cluster says "Maintenance is due in xxx miles."
Answer: Yes! Durametric can clear the service reminder on all Porsche vehicles that support one, with the exception of the 2008+ Cayennes (support coming soon). In version 5, click on "Instrument Cluster," then the "Diagnostics" menu, then "Reset Service Reminder."
Note: "Service Now" is different than "Maintenance due in..." The "Service Now" message is an indication that there is a fault code stored in one of the car's systems. "Maintenance Due" is the car's service reminder.
Question: Does the tool come with a warranty?
Answer: Yes! Hardware purchased from Durametric is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of six (6) months from receipt by the end-user. All defective hardware must be returned to us at the customer's expense. Durametric will ship repaired or replacement goods to the customer at our expense using a comparable method of shipment. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by neglect or misuse.

Answer: With the use of the version 6 software and a 2nd-generation Enthusiast or Professional cable, Durametric can enable the OBC.
Question: Can the software change the odometer reading of the car?
Answer: No.
Question: Can the software re-program the keys and remotes for Porsche cars?
Answer: Not at this time.
Question: Can the software readout the ECU's memory?
Answer: In some cases stored data is available for read only. Example: You can read the VIN associated with the DME, though Durametric cannot change it.
Question: Why do you use USB cables?
Answer: USB has been standard on all laptops made for the last 6+ years while serial ports - the most common alternative - are almost non-existent.
Question: What type of USB port is required?

Das Diagnose Tool liest Fehlercodes aus und zeigt diese im Display. Diese Codes können anschließend ganz einfach gelöscht werden. Fahrzeuge ab 1990 haben mehrere elektronische Systeme die durch Steuergeräte kontrolliert werden eingebaut. Diese Steuergeräte haben eine Selbstdiagnose. Mit anderen Worten: das Fahrzeug sammelt Informationen und Fehler und speichert diese in den Steuergeräten ab. Mit dem Diagnose Tool ist es möglich diese Informationen und Fehler anzuzeigen. Bisher war es nur den Porschehändlern möglich mit dem vom Porschewerk freigegebenen Systemtester diese Informationen auszulesen und die Fehlerspeicher zu löschen. Mit dem Durametric Diagnose Tool ist für “Jedermann“ möglich die Steuergeräte auszulesen und die Fehlerspeicher zu löschen. Jeder Fehlercode wird mit einem P-Code, Werksfehlercode und Reparatur Info (wenn verfügbar) angezeigt.
Durametric Diagnose Tool zeigt "Tatsächlichen Werte" und stellt diese auch in Diagrammen dar. Jeder Fehlercode wird mit einem P-Code, Werksfehlercode und Reparatur Info (wenn verfügbar) angezeigt. Diese Funktion liest die "Tatsächlichen Werte" aus und zeigt diese auf dem Bildschirm an. Die Daten Aufzeichnungen können im Excel oder CSV Format gespeichert werden. Siehe Daten Aufzeichnung
Echtzeitwerte sollten nie im fahrendem Zustand gemessen werden. Alle angezeigten Werte sind nicht geeicht und nur für Vergleichszwecke zu nutzen.

Comparision of OBD2 to Durametric Diagnostic tool for Porsche
Our product is often compared to OBD2 products, though it is much different. Our tool uses the same communications protocol that the dealership's tool does to access all of the computers in the car.
But OBD2 was developed to meet emissions compliance rules in the United States, and can only read diagnostic information pertaining to an emissions problem on Porsche cars. Our tool can read both emissions and non-emissions related information in the car's engine computer (DME) plus all other systems on the car like Airbag, ABS, etc...
Additionally OBD2 only displays "P-Codes"; our tool displays both "P-codes" and Porsche specific fault code information that matches the car's service manual.

Now we will try our tool on the same 1998 Porsche Boxster above and see what problems show up.
Our tool also displays why the Airbag light is on - the car was started without the driver's seat installed.
Notice the section for "Ignitions (Range 1)." This vehicle shows "13958/917h" which means the vehicle has used the rev-limiter for 13,958 ignitions, the last time being at 917 hours. So this indicates the engine was red-lined often and the last time occurred recently since the engine only has 917 hours.
Notice the section for "Ignitions (Range 2)." This vehicle shows "1/48h" which means the vehicle exceeded the red line one time during 48 hours of operation. This is an example of a possible car a Porsche dealer will not perform warranty work on as this metric indicates abuse.
If you ever look at an online auction for Porsche instrument panel clusters, you will see many of them for sale. Most of these clusters are not broken; many of them were replaced from lease vehicles to avoid paying excess mileage charges. From the example above, you can see that this engine has 917 hours in the "Operating Hours Section." This should be compared to the odometer to see if the number makes sense. If you divide the odometer mileage by the operating hours you will have an average MPH.
Example: 12,000 Miles / 917 Operating Hours = 13 MPH
Most cars will average between 30 - 50 MPH depending on how much traffic it is driven in so the value of 13 MPH indicates there could be a discrepancy.
You can also compare and validate the VIN and color codes with the sticker inside of the hood.
Porsche cars from 2005 (997, Boxster 987, Cayman) have 6 ignition ranges that represent different RPM ranges. For more information on these cars, please see our ECU information.
Note: The Enthusiast version is limited to three vehicles, but this limitation does not prevent you from viewing abuse information on an unlimited number of cars. (Durametric version 5 software only.)

Used Porsche Buyers Guide
Before you buy a used Porsche, be sure to check that the engine has not been abused and the odometer is accurate.
Porsche regularly refuses to offer warranty repairs on engines that have been over-revved and abused. But now, you can check a used Porsche before you buy it!
Shopping for a used Porsche with Durametric makes this analysis easy. Just take your laptop and your Durametric kit with you to be certain the purchase you are making is one you will not regret.
The Durametric Diagnostic tool allows you to check if the odometer is accurate, and to review the engine’s computer to see engine over-revs, rev-limiter usage, and operating hours. You can also see if the car has any stored fault conditions. Such details might inform you of any repairs that are needed and may save you thousands of dollars.
Please note that abuse information is available on Boxster, 996, 997, and Cayman. There is no abuse information available on Cayenne, 993, and 964. The Model Feature Matrix page provides information on Durametric’s compatibility by Porsche model.
In the example below, you can see the statistics and data related to the car’s ignition ranges, VIN number and body color - all pieces of information that assure you the vehicle is as it appears.
Notice the section for "Ignitions (Range 1)." This vehicle shows "13958/917h" which means the vehicle has used the rev-limiter for 13,958 ignitions, the last time being at 917 hours.

Most cars will average between 30 - 50 MPH depending on how much traffic it is driven in so the value of 13 MPH indicates there could be a discrepancy.
You can also compare and validate the VIN and color codes with the sticker inside of the hood.
Porsche cars from 2005 (997, Boxster 987, Cayman) have 6 ignition ranges that represent different RPM ranges. For more information on these cars, please see our ECU information.
Note: The Enthusiast version is limited to three vehicles, but this limitation does not prevent you from viewing abuse information on an unlimited number of cars. (Durametric version 5 software only.)
