2007 Porsche Boxter 987.1 Technical help please

[Andy Veitch]

Hi, looking for a little technical help . I have a 2007 Porsche Boxter which was started and idling when it simply cut out. The car starter operates but will not start. I have plugged in a code reader (TOPDON ArtiDiag500 S - I know, its a cheap code reader, however it has come up with the following codes:
P1610 (No Communication with A/C),
P0503 ( Vehicle speed signal PSM/ASR),
U0155 (lost communication with Instrument cluster control module),
P1640 ( Ambient Temperature from instrument cluster),
P1603 check POSIP control fault memory content),
P1614 (no communication with steering wheel ECU CAN drive)
U0129 communication ride height control unit),
U0167 (communication PAS control module drive)
U0146 (communication gateway CAN drive),
80C5, 80C6, 80C7 (all say Triggering unit faulty),
C152 (Communication PSM control unit),
C158 (communication gateway control unit CAN drive)
4444 (steering angle sensor not initialised),
4223 (fault in DME read out fault memory).
I appreciate all of these are communication errors (CAN bus).
Reading some info on line suggests that the instrument cluster is a likely cause.
Has anyone experienced similar and can shed some light on the most likely solution.
Kind rergards

Maybe time to visit a Porsche indie and have them plug into the car?
Experience could be the key to sorting this Andy.
Please let us know the outcome, all good learning.

+1 would agree get a visit to an indie to plug in get diagnosed can save a lot of time and expensive getting to the bottom of problem.
Good luck with fix

Those codes could be historic and are amongst those typically found if a car that has had a flat battery at some time.

If the reader can show you active or inactive status or the freeze frame data associated with the codes you may be able to work out if they are recent.

If not. Then make sure you have taken note of them and clear them down and see which ones if any come back.

If you have changed the head unit and not had it coded out you may well see psm and a/c and cluster errors as all those modules try to talk to the factory head unit.
