3. Fix the cause first, then clear the fault memory and scan again to check it stays away. Reading and clearing fault codes is free on every control unit.

Fault names come from the manufacturer's diagnostic data. STEUER14 is independent and not affiliated with Porsche AG. A code tells you what a control unit detected, not always which part failed — check wiring, supply voltage and related codes before replacing parts. STEUER14 shows each fault's full description, status and freeze frame on the car.
