P1CE000 — Expansion valve for evaporator, passenger compartment (EXV3) – mechanical fault

Expansion valve for evaporator, passenger compartment (EXV3) – mechanical fault. The Taycan, 911 (992), Panamera (971), Panamera (972) and Cayenne report this code; below is which control unit sets it on each model and how to read and clear it.

Which models and control units set P1CE000

Porsche Taycan

Porsche 911 (992)

Porsche Panamera (971, 2017–2023)

Porsche Panamera (972, 2024–)

Porsche Cayenne (9YA)

How to read and clear P1CE000

  1. Plug a standard ENET (Ethernet-to-OBD) cable into your Porsche's OBD port and your Mac or Windows PC.
  2. Open STEUER14, pick your car and run a fault scan: every control unit is read, and P1CE000 shows with its status, its full description and the freeze frame when the unit stores one.
  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.
