have a 2002 Porsche 911 (996) Cabrioletwith a convertible top problem.The roof operates, but during normal opening it stops before reaching the fully open position and PIWIS stores Fault Code 05 – Maximum time exceeded (timeout).The important issue is the calibration procedure.

READ ANSWEROn June 12 I submitted a question regarding my occasional inability to start the car because the automatic oil level measuring function would not allow me to get past it. I received a response on June 18 that was not helpful. Is it likely that the clutch interlock switch is defective?
Tuesday 07/21/2026 | 2002 | 911 Carrera Cabriolet | Transmission/Clutch
In my inquiry of June 12, I explained in detail how the oil measuring function blocks me from starting the car. Sometimes I need to attempt to start it 30 or 40 times, trying different options (ie, waiting the 5 seconds, withdrawing the key, using the "cancel' function with or without withdrawing the key, taking my foot off the clutch after withdrawing the key, and all combinations of sequences of the above). Eventually, and inexplicably, something works (usually not the same sequence) and th ...
READ ANSWERSometimes I cannot get past the automatic oil measuring function to be able to start the car. Does the computer need to be reprogrammed? Can this function be turned off permanently?
Friday 06/12/2026 | 2002 | 911 Carrera Cabriolet | Electronics
I have owned the car 4 years. I am sometimes bedeviled by the automatic oil measuring function performed by the computer as I am starting the car. I have never been able to determine any pattern. I understand it can be triggered by turning the key to "on" and pausing (without turning it all the way to "start"). That is sometimes true, but conversely, turning the key through "on" to "start" in one motion does not prevent the oil screen from appearing (and preventing the car from starting). So ...
