Hi,
I just got myself a 2012 981 2.7 Boxster and so far been really happy with it! My last Porsche was a 996tt that I built with a lot of Cup and GT2/GT3 parts into a great 500hp rwd track car but unfortunately it was not that great to drive on the street anymore. Something this Boxster with PDK, PASM etc absolutely is, so effortless and smooth!
With spring approaching I ran into a problem though, my top wont open! When I got the car this winter I tried it once in the garage but after a few weeks without the battery connected due to replacing it it wont open anymore. It will release the latch in the rear view mirror but then nothing happens and no errors in the display. I tried to open it manually just to make sure that it was not stuck but that was fine.
Yesterday I did a quick search with Piwis 3 and saw the fault codes 001001 and 001006 which means that a temperature limiter in the top motor 1 and 2 is open/active. Could not find any way to reset though.
Does anyone have experience with this problem and know how to reset the temperature limiters?
(Piwis suggested to replace the convertible top control unit but I dont really see why it would need replacing.)
Thanks,
Tom
