Existing fault codes when applying for extended coverage?

[DannyD]

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any idea if existing fault codes on a 2021 Taycan have any weight when they decide if extended coverage can be approved for my car? No coverage at all currently. I'm mostly talking about random "SOS emergency call error"/one-time "yellow electrical system error" fixed with car shutdown and retry after few minutes/etc.
Some of them might not be of any use (ex the SOS error).

I saw @prj's MapEV has a clear faults option but would be cautios to clear all and have it at the dealer for extended coverage inspection with 0 faults... or start guessing which need to be cleared...

If you're talking about Porsche approved, if there's any faults present that the dealer can't clear you will have to fix them before it will get approved.

If there's even a single permanent code the car won't be approved.

Thanks for the quick reply and info. Can MapEV distinct from "permanent/non-clearable" errors and "non-permanent/clearable" errors? Or it lists them all there without any distinction? I want to know if I have such permanent errors before going for the non-refundable paid inspection (about 500$ here)

Turn the ignition on and clear the codes, if there is any that you can't clear or that come back almost immediately then you will have to fix them.
