NOT 914 - ADVICE TO RESET SERVICE LIGHT IN P BOXSTER 987, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Options

[HIPPIEKILLER]

Hello all!

I have just serviced my 2006 Boxster and it seems the service can only be reset by using the computer or similar tools (Durametric and so). I thought it would be a combination of buttons but not.

For those living in SoCal (Orange County), do you have any advice? Any shop that will not charge is too much to ask?

Thanks in advance!

I would also recommend the Durametric diagnostic tool. I bought it a few years ago for my 997 and it has paid for itself several times. I got the enthusiast kit version which is cheaper and limits the tool to a few cars. You will need a Windows laptop. I tried to run it on a Mac with Windows emulation and had some luck but it would usually get a timing error and need to be restarted. It's a cable and software. When I replaced the battery, I used this to reset the error messages. Same with oil service. I replaced the PCCM console with a Pioneer system with Bluetooth and GPS, I was able to disabled the error messages with this tool. I also use it run engine diagnostics. It cost around $290. I know, Porsche doesn't make it easy to reset any of these errors and any solutions costs something. Option 2 is tape over the error messages - lol.
