A second copy should be submitted with the affected parts. A third copy should be kept in the vehicle service file.

Failure to submit a properly printed OBD II report will result in denial of the warranty claim, and the parts being returned.

All OBD II faults and associated information must be retrieved and printed using the Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2). Use the following procedure to retrieve and print OBD II data. DO NOT erase fault memory until a valid printout has been made!
