The President’s ColumnNicolas Liakas

From The Editor’s DeskJohn Alfenito

Is the Santa Barbara Region the

greatest and best in all of PCA? Of course it is! And I have the proof to support this grand declaration. Continue reading,

and I know you will agree.At the Zone 8 Presidents Meeting and Banquet held on January

21, 2012, our region swept the awards for the major competitive events held in 2011. Phil Reese was the Zone 8 champ in TSD Rally; Mike Furnish in Autocross; Dick Douglass in Concours. Congratulations to these three representatives of SBR. But wait, there’s more.

!e national sta" has recognized John Alfenito for his superb e"orts in producing our beloved Der Auspu". John has been recruited to serve as a judge for the 2012 Heinmiller Trophy that is awarded to the best PCA newsletter for the previous year. John won’t tell, but I will. Quietly, he has supported and assisted many other newsletter editors within PCA by providing to them technical and editorial substantive input. It comes as no surprise to us – we have the best editor! Our magazine (not merely a newsletter) is the envy of all PCA regions. But wait, there is more.

It is with great pride that I have submitted to national our applications to be named PCA Region of the Year and for the Public Service and Enthusiast of the Year Awards. Regardless of the outcome, I know we deserve all three! !e recipients will be announced at the 2012 Parade in Salt Lake City this July. But wait, there is more.

Take a close look at the January 2012 issue of Panorama. !e road test of the new 991 described in the cover story occurred in Santa Barbara! !e From !e Regions column contains an article written by Carolyn Ewbank discussing our 2011 Concours. !e report on 2011 submissions to that column indicates that our region had eight entries, the most of any region in PCA! And, did you read the great write-up and gorgeous photography on the

Any time Porsche debuts a new model, it’s an exciting time for car

lovers. With the public release of the new Carrera, the 991, SBR members were fortunate enough to be among the #rst to sample Stuttgart’s newest generation of

the venerable 911 platform. All three of our supporting Porsche dealers welcomed us to their showrooms, launch parties, and even brought 991s to our February breakfast events. Test drives were available to those with patience; it was no surprise how popular a spin in the new Porsche would be.

Stargazing article submitted by SBR member Hal Jandorf? Simply put, it was spectacular. I felt as if the entire January Panorama was a marketing tool for our region. But wait, there is more.

Our Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend jaunt to Palm Springs coupled excellent driving adventures with non-ending fun and camaraderie for the almost #ve dozen members that participated. John and Jeanne McNair planned, organized and executed a fantastic weekend, and they are already hard at work planning the 2013 MLK weekend escape! I have a solid idea of what the destination will be, and it will knock your socks o" ! !anks a million, John and Jeanne. But wait, there is more.

Speaking of weekend escapes, within days of the announcement that was made regarding our 2012 Memorial Day Weekend adventure to Sequoia-Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks, 46 members registered with Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow. What’s more, 36 of them will participate in the extended optional three-day program in Yosemite. !e response required the addition of 20 available rooms at the Oakhust, CA hotel! !e willingness to participate in longer (and possibly one week long) durations opens new horizons for our region as adventures may be programmed for farther destinations. I know that this Memorial Day adventure will be a sell-out, so take a look at the $ier on page 18 and register ASAP.

I am not done yet. Yes, there is more. Rusnak Porsche Westlake, !e Santa Barbara Auto Group and !e Auto Gallery have expanded their support of our club by o"ering service clinics, tech sessions and open houses (for new model introductions). See the article on page 13 discussing the tech session on January 18 held at Rusnak. !e number and frequency of these programs will substantially increase during the year. Watch for announcements via the mass e-mailer from the national o%ce and for those included in our monthly magazine. I cannot think of another PCA region that bene#ts as much as ours does from the support of three dealerships! It is a testament to our members’ involvement and participation, as well as to the enthusiasm projected by our members.

Still, one more item. !is year’s holiday party will take on a new theme and venue. I will keep you informed as time approaches, but I know you will be pleasantly surprised.

Now can you understand why I am bursting with pride for our region and its entire membership?

!ank you to !e Auto Gallery, Rusnak Porsche Westlake, and Santa Barbara Auto Group for inviting us to be a part of your 991 introduction activities, and for allowing so many of us the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the new Carrera.

!anks to David Lang at !e Auto Group, I eagerly took a test drive the morning before the Camarillo Breakfast in February. I was favorably impressed with every improvement on the new car. !e 991 is much more than “the new 911,” however. I feel the dynamic changes from the 997 to the 991 truly make the 991 “the next 911.” It’s that di"erent.

As always, your actual mileage may vary, but I’d encourage you to #nd out for yourself, if you can #nd one to try out at one of our three local dealers. !at may be easier said than done.

Until next month...

Camarillo Breakfast

A chilly breeze (okay, it was windy!) couldn’t cool o! the excitement at our February Camarillo Breakfast, when, not one, but two new 991 Carrera S cars arrived for our

inspection. David Lang, Internet/Fleet Manager of "e Auto Gallery in Woodland Hills, brought a Carrara White PDK-equipped beauty, and was graciously o!ering test drives throughout the morning. Santa Barbara Auto Group’s Walt Branscome arrived in an Agate Grey Metallic S, also with PDK transmission, and he, too, allowed several members a chance to take it for a spin.

Everyone seemed very impressed with the new Porsches, and several members caravanned back to Woodland Hills a#er breakfast for the 991 Launch Event held at "e Auto Gallery (picture coverage on page 15).

President Nick Liakas called the business portion of the meeting to order and announced that three members of our region took the top spots in Zone 8 competitive events for 2011, and were honored at the January Zone 8 Banquet. Nick presented the Zone 8 Rally Championship Award to Phil Reese, and the Zone 8 Concours top honors to Dick Douglass. Additionally, Mike Furnish won the Zone 8 Autocross competition. Our region did extremely well!

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling announced that 117 members and guests were in attendance at our breakfast, and that 71 Porsches (including the two brand new 991s) were displayed on the lawn. Sue introduced new SBR members Gary Keck and John Edison, both attending their $rst club meeting.

Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer promoted the busy, upcoming events on our calendar, urging members to get signed up early! =

Another Great Gathering On Stearns Wharf

Once again, the weather forecast was threatening, but the morning was mostly sunny on the wharf in Santa Barbara as 67 members and guests, driving 41 Porsches, gathered

for our February 11th meeting.

President Nicolas Liakas recognized two of our Zone 8 Award winners: Dick Douglass, who took home the Concours prize; and our Autocross champ Mike Furnish. Nick also saluted a couple of “birthday boys,” Joe Schneider and James Oldham. Our new technical writer for Der Auspu!, Schneider Autohaus’ Chris Andropoulos was also introduced.

SBR Member Jack Price, whose architectural "rm is working on the museum to be built at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama (home of the Porsche Sport Driving School), has been asked to make a presentation at a future club meeting. It will be very interesting to hear more about this prestigious project from one of the principals.

Nick also welcomed Santa Barbara Auto Group’s General Manager Ben Schroeder, who brought along Brian Cunningham, a race car driver and instructor at PSDS. Walt Branscome parked one of SBAG’s new 991s with our cars outside Moby Dick’s, and it generated a predictable amount of attention. Following our breakfast, Santa Barbara Auto Group hosted a 911 Test Drive event, o!ering drives in the new 991 accompanied by Brian Cunningham. Several members took advantage of this o!er.

Membership Chair Sue Kinsling introduced "rst time S.B. Breakfast attendee John Scoraros from Santa Barbara, and new member Christian Marx. Guests joining us included James McCully plus, Je! Waxman’s son, Jeremy; Jack Price’s stepson, Darin Milgrim; and Sue & Randy Kinsling’s son, Todd, with his wife and daughter, Ashley and Addison. =

The R.U.F. Report

PICNIC AT MALIBOU LAKESTORY BY MIKE TUREKPHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO & MIKE TUREK

Nick Liakas put in his request for perfect January weather for R.U.F.’s !rst event of the New Year.

Many thanks to Nick, as the weather was absolutely perfect. "irty-two R.U.F.ians attended, driving 18 vehicles from late model 911s, Caymans, Boxsters and a Panamera, to a MINI Cooper S.

Our route was very picturesque, yet demanded the drivers’ full attention to the numerous twisties winding through Hidden Valley. As we turned up Westlake Blvd. (Highway 23), the pace quickened. Heart rates began to increase, steering wheel grips tightened, and smiles began to broaden on the faces of most as we exercised our beloved Porsches. A le# turn on Mulholland Highway bought us out to Kanan Road. We traversed to Latigo Canyon, and again began a spirited, very attention-demanding segment of our drive. Hill and dale, and away we went. Up over various ridges and down into and through challenging switchbacks. As the blue Paci!c emerged, our senses began to so#en. A casual drive through scenic Malibu Canyon and back to Mulholland Highway, where we found yet more curves to carve.

Finally, we arrived at our intended destination, Malibou Lake. Picnic lunches were unloaded and devoured as conversation prevailed. Hal Jandorf set

up a telescope so those of us who wanted could view solar $ares (prominences) on the sun. We all agreed that it was very interesting. "anks, Hal. John & Jeanne McNair reviewed the upcoming R.U.F. events for the next few months.

Other than a few queasy passengers, our group came away unscathed from the challenge of the drive. Plus, our appetites were sated a#er our repast adjacent to beautiful Malibou Lake.

A special thanks to Bruce & Jeanette Clemens for arranging the use of the picnic area at the Malibou Lake Mountain Club. If you are not on the email list of R.U.F.ians, please contact John & Jeanne McNair, R.U.F. Directors, to be added to the roster. I encourage you to come out and join us on the next one. = (L-R) Hal Jandorf, Mike & Karen Turek, as

Mike takes a close-up look at the sun.

That darn “Check Engine Light!” What do I do now?” Oops, now it’s !ashing! What does it all mean?

"e service and technical support team at Rusnak Porsche Westlake sponsored a clinic for Santa Barbara Region members on the evening of January 18, 2012, instructing our 20 members on how master mechanics diagnose and repair problems that occasionally spring up in our Porsches. It was a fascinating lesson on how things are done right – the #rst time!

Under the direction of Sam Abergel, Director of Service & Parts, two exceptional technicians (Mark Leach and Larry Tewner) led the seminar and discussion on the tools of the trade. Two Porsches, a 997 and a 996, were disabled prior to our

Diagnostic Lessons At Rusnak Tech Sessionarrival. "e 997 was subjected to mis#ring at one cylinder, while the 996 su$ered from Secondary Air Injection System problems. Mark and Larry expertly described how the diagnostic equipment (mandated by the factory) operates, and displayed how quickly the causes of the disabling of the two vehicles were disclosed. "e system also provides a listing of steps to be taken by the technician to perform the necessary repairs. "e Air Injection System report, for example, takes seven pages of text and diagrams for use by the technician.

It was immensely interesting to witness the entire process. "e computers quickly and e%ciently displayed the necessary information, so the repair process was !awless. What’s more, if repairs are covered by the factory warranty, the diagnostic equipment prepares a VAL – Vehicle

As this was an evening program, Sam supplied us with food and drinks at the start of the evening and kept it available throughout the seminar. Other members of the technical sta$ were also on hand, and Keith Goldberg (General Manager) visited with us for the second half of the event.

Everyone at Rusnak expressed their support of and appreciation for our members, and the o$er was made to conduct additional tech sessions during the balance of 2012. Further, the new Porsche facilities, now under construction, will be extraordinary, and we will be invited to participate in the grand opening. =

A group of 76 members departed from the Santa Barbara La Cumbre Plaza parking lot driving 42 Porsches and headed

up Hwy 154 to enjoy another beautiful day, driving the back roads of Santa Barbara County. Ted Lighthizer led the group into the outskirts of Solvang and then took us down Alisal Road on a route past Nojoqui Falls. From there we took the 101 North for a short stretch before heading west on Santa Rosa Road in the Buellton area.

A!er over an hour of driving, the members were ready for their "rst stop at Lafond Winery & Vineyards, where we stretched our legs and walked through the winery. Some members enjoyed the wine tasting and purchased wine for their picnic lunch.

#e owner, Pierre Lafond, founded the "rst post-prohibition commercial winery in Santa Barbara County in 1962. At that time, he had to purchase grapes from the Napa Valley as none were grown in Santa Barbara County. When the supply up north began diminishing, Pierre purchased and planted 65 acres of vineyards in 1971 in the Santa Rita Hills at the western tip of the Santa Ynez Valley. In 1996, he purchased another 30 acres of Pinot Noir and Syrah vineyards. Bruce McGuire became their

winemaker in 1981 and was one of the pioneers in the development of Pinot Noir and Syrah in Santa Barbara County and in the entire state of California.

A!er leaving the winery, we continued driving west on Santa Rosa Road for another eleven miles and then turned south onto the CA-1 for a short distance before heading west on Jalama Road for another 14 miles of fun-"lled Porsche roads. Near the end of the drive, we were able to see miles of pristine coastline and

THE MODERN PORSCHE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMThe Tech Page

BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS

Before You Reach For Those Jumper Cables, You’d Better Read This

Electrical systems have evolved more than perhaps any other aspect of modern automobiles. And Porsches are no exception.

Porsche has come a long way from the days of the 6-volt 356 electrical system, comprised of a single, poster-sized page to display the wiring diagram of the entire vehicle. Today’s Porsche wiring diagrams require multiple phone book-sized volumes with fold-out pages to display the plethora of electrical systems that are on board in a single vehicle.

While modern Porsches are wonderful when everything is working as it should, they can be very frustrating when electrical glitches occur, leading one to wonder why they need to be so complicated. Since electrical systems are not widely understood, and their issues can be insidious in nature, this article will provide an overview of the necessity of complex electronics in today’s Porsches. More speci!cally, it will outline what to do in the case of perhaps the most common electrical issue experienced – a dead battery.

"e reasons for the electrical complexity of a modern Porsche are manifold. Government regulation of fuel economy and engine e#ciency demand increasingly sophisticated engine management systems. Active and passive onboard safety systems, like stability control and multiple airbags, necessitate high speed data networks capable of rapid data transfer between

sensors and control modules. Finally, consumer demand for comfort and convenience features have turned modern cars into virtual rolling entertainment centers.

As a result, the modern Porsche has dozens of control modules on board, each of which is a miniature computer in its own right. Each control module is linked to one of several onboard high speed data transfer networks. "ese high speed networks are necessary for the various control modules to communicate with each other. "e engine control module (also known as the DME control unit) is in constant communication with the Tiptronic or PDK control units in Porsches thus equipped, providing optimum shi$ points for every driving situation. "e control unit for the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and stability control system (PSM) receives data from wheel speed sensors for each wheel, as well as steering angle and lateral acceleration sensors, and is therefore able to calculate the driver’s intended path, and it can brake individual wheels or even cut engine power to keep the car on the road! "e audio systems on 2003 and up Porsches even have their own dedicated !ber optic networks for rapid data transfer of audio signals and navigation data.

Batteries

All of these complex onboard electronics still rely on a 12-volt battery and generator (more commonly known as an alternator) for power. While advances in battery and alternator technology have taken place, they can still experience the same failure modes as in older cars. "e increase in the amount of onboard electronics in modern Porsches means that leaving the ignition switched on without the engine running

for even a short amount of time can rapidly drain the battery. In fact, even leaving the key in the ignition switched all the way o% will still drain the battery, as the various control modules onboard remain “awake,” waiting to respond if the ignition is switched on. In short, do not leave the key in the ignition slot in your modern Porsche (’99 and up 911, or any Boxster, Cayman or Cayenne), as it can drain the battery in as little as a few hours. Low voltage situations can result in some strange symptoms and warning messages in the newer Porsches. If you ever experience a battery warning message or any other unusual warning messages with the engine running, or if erratic function of electrical equipment occurs, it is recommended to visit a Porsche specialist for diagnosis.

If you !nd that your battery is dead for any reason, special precaution must be taken to avoid damaging sensitive electrical equipment. If you have a 996/997 or Boxster/Cayman that has an electric front hood release, you may need to follow the emergency front trunk release procedure outlined in the owner’s manual to gain access to the battery. "is procedure involves applying power to the emergency power terminal in the fuse panel, located to the le$ of the driver’s footwell. Do NOT

attempt to jump start the engine with a battery or booster pack connected to the emergency terminal. Only use it to open the front trunk lid.

In Cayennes, the main starter battery is located under the driver’s seat, so the battery should be charged or jump started via the remote posts located in the engine compartment. "is is also the case in Panameras; the battery is located under the &oor in the rear luggage compartment, but

A typical 356 wiring diagram, back when things were much simpler.

Once you have access to the battery, avoid jump starting, if at all possible, as damage to expensive electrical

components can occur if care is not taken.

the battery should only be charged or jump started via the remote battery terminals in the engine compartment.

!e newest 991 series 911 joins the 2011-up Cayenne and the 2010 and newer Panamera in its electrical complexity. Like its larger siblings, the 991 features an intelligent charging system that only charges the battery during light load and deceleration conditions to save fuel. !ere is a battery charging sensor built into the negative battery cable that constantly monitors that battery’s state of charge. !is cable can easily be damaged if the battery is charged or jump started directly from the battery cables, and premature battery failure and a multitude of other electrical issues can result.

Once you have access to the battery, avoid jump starting, if at all possible, as damage to expensive electrical components can occur if care is not taken. !e safest bet is to either trickle charge the battery, or to have your Porsche towed with a "atbed truck to your Porsche specialist.

It is recommended to trickle charge the battery only with a modern digital battery charger. !ese are readily available at most auto parts stores. If your battery charger is old and large and makes a loud buzzing noise when it is operating, it is not suitable for charging a battery that is connected to a modern Porsche. !e electricity generated by older style analog battery chargers is “dirty,” meaning that the charging voltage is not well regulated and can possibly cause damage.

If it is an emergency or you are stuck and the only way to get your Porsche going is with a jump start, it is recommended to use a portable booster pack to jump start in lieu

of jumper cables hooked up to a second vehicle with the engine running. However, if the only way available to jump start is with a second vehicle and jumper cables, try to avoid running the engine on the second car if at all possible. Running the engine on the second vehicle does increase the available voltage to start the dead vehicle, but there is a chance of damaging the electrical systems of both vehicles due to the high current surge when the car with the dead battery is started.

Wear eye protection if possible, and be CERTAIN that the jumper cables are connected correctly. Connecting jumper cables backwards can cause expensive damage to a car’s electrical system! If you are not sure which is positive or negative, it is best to try to #nd someone who can help. First connect the positive jumper cable to the “donor” vehicle’s positive battery post; then connect the other end of the positive cable to the positive post of the dead battery. Next, connect the negative jumper cable to the donor vehicle’s negative battery post, and connect the other end to a good ground point on the vehicle with the dead battery (if the cable is connected to the negative post of the dead battery, it can cause sparks which can in some cases cause the battery to explode!).

Sometimes the second “donor” vehicle’s battery does not have enough available capacity to jump start a second vehicle without its engine running. If it is necessary to run the engine of the donor vehicle to provide adequate voltage for jump starting, turn on several electrical accessories within the donor vehicle such as the headlights, wipers, and rear defrost to help absorb the large current spike from the Porsche’s starter motor when its engine is started.

If you call AAA or another service for a tow truck to assist you in starting your Porsche, insist that they bring a portable 12-volt booster pack to jump start your car. Do NOT let the tow truck driver jump start your car directly from the battery of

the tow truck, as large trucks o$en have higher voltage systems that can damage the sensitive electronics in your Porsche.

Once your engine is running, leave the jumper cables connected for several minutes to allow the voltage to stabilize. Turn on the headlights of the car that was jump started, as this will help absorb the voltage surge that occurs when the cables are disconnected. Carefully disconnect the cables one at a time in the opposite order that you connected them. First

disconnect the negative cable from the engine compartment of the car that was jump started, then disconnect the negative cable from the second car’s battery. Lastly, disconnect the positive cables. If the engine of the car that was jump started stops running a$er the jumper cables are disconnected, there may be a problem with the car’s charging system, and it is best to call a tow truck.

It is a good idea a$er jump starting a car with a dead battery to drive it or let it run for at least 30 minutes to help charge the battery. But it is an even better idea to connect the battery to a trickle charger, as it can be detrimental to the life of the alternator to recharge a completely dead battery in addition to its normal electrical demands.

If the battery on your modern Porsche (any Cayenne, 2005-and-up Boxsters/Caymans and 911s) goes completely dead or is disconnected, several of the vehicle’s electronic control modules lose their onboard memory, and need to be re-initialized. A factory-level Porsche scan tool such as the PIWIS is required to perform some of the reset procedures.

!e steering angle sensor for the aforementioned PSM stability management system needs to be recalibrated with a scan tool (a “PSM failure” message will appear in the instrument cluster display and the PSM system will not function properly until this reset procedure is performed).

The CTek is one of many brands that will safely trickle charge your battery.

Sometimes the electronic throttle body will need re-initialization, indicated by an erratic idle. !is is as simple as switching the ignition on to position 2 for 30 seconds without the engine running and without touching the accelerator pedal.

!e one-touch function for the power windows and sunroof will not work until the systems re-learn the opening and closing limits of the windows and sunroof. To reset the power window one-touch feature, close all doors and for each window, raise it fully with the switch until it stops. !en, toggle the window switch to “close” once more. !en, lower the window completely by holding down the switch to the “open” position, and a"er it stops, toggle the switch to “open” once more. Repeat this procedure for each window. Now, the system has learned where the window opening and closing limits are, and the one-touch feature should work again.

In some occasions, if the battery goes completely dead on a modern Porsche, certain functions such as seat heaters,

Chris is a lifelong Porsche “nut” and is fascinated with and knowledgeable about all Porsches, from 356s to the latest GT3s. When he’s not racing his daily-driven 944 Turbo at PCA and POC track events, he can be found enjoying the beaches, ocean, and mountains of beautiful Santa Barbara.

foglamps, headlight washers, or even the radio or climate controls may not function. !is is because it is possible for the vehicle to revert to “transport mode” as a result of a low voltage situation. !e only remedy is to have a Porsche specialist perform a “vehicle handover” procedure with a scan tool and/or perform a battery reset procedure to restore full function of the electrical system.

!e latest Cayennes (2011 and later) and Panameras require a new battery registration procedure with a scan tool if the battery needs replacement, as the alternator’s charging strategy changes based on the age and condition of the battery. Failure to perform the battery registration will greatly shorten the life of the new battery.
