Important notices:
We have reports of incompatibility issues when using the KTS-301 in later 1997 and 1998 Porsche 993 models. The features of some the on-board computers (DME, ABS/ABD, Airbag) in these models may not be compatible with the KTS-301, as its latest software version was made in 1991. The KTS-301 successor, the PST-2 system, was introduced in 1997, and this supports these functions.
We have had reports of problems in using this tool (and other original Porsche OBD tools) in special versions of the Porsche 964 and 993, such as the GT and some Turbo models. Motronic engine control units where the unit has been modified with an aftermarket memory chip may also cause connection problems. We have seen connection problems in late 993 models with certain Tiptronic control unit versions where the tool completely stops working. It is then possible to remove the Tiptronic control unit fuse to be able to connect to the other control units in the car.
User manuals rely on the Porsche workshop manuals. However, we have gathered most of the information available, and this is available on our Downloads page.
