Reinforced & Calibrated PADM Sensor Upgrade 
Sold each - 2 required per car

Restore proper operation of your Porsche Active Drivetrain Mount (PADM) system with this reinforced and OEM-calibrated PADM sensor upgrade, engineered specifically to resolve common PADM warning faults and improve long-term reliability on Porsche 997.2 turbo and GT3 models.

Fits:

  • Porsche 997 MKII GT3 / GT3 RS 2010-11
  • Porsche 997 MKII Turbo 2010-13     

Designed as a direct plug-and-play replacement, this upgraded PADM sensor features a mechanically pinned internal chip, CNC-machined aluminium housing, and OEM-level calibration to provide superior durability and accurate sensor response compared to common failure-prone original sensors.

Unlike standard sensors that rely on glue-based internal fixing methods, this upgraded design uses a mechanically fixed chip structure for significantly improved resistance to vibration, heat, and pressure. The CNC-machined aluminium housing further enhances durability under demanding engine bay conditions and high-performance driving environments.

Comprehensive testing across multiple Porsche applications ensures OEM-level signal accuracy and seamless system operation without the need for coding, software calibration, or additional programming.

This upgraded PADM sensor is specifically designed to resolve common Porsche PADM faults including warning lights, drivetrain mount disable issues, unstable handling characteristics, and sensor-related diagnostic fault codes.

Ideal for Porsche 997.2 turbo and GT3 owners experiencing PADM warning messages, rough idle, drivetrain vibration, or recurring sensor faults.

Key Features

• Reinforced and calibrated PADM sensor upgrade
• Direct plug-and-play installation
• No coding or software programming required
• Mechanically pinned internal chip design
• No glue-based internal fixing
• CNC-machined aluminium housing
• Improved heat, pressure, and vibration resistance
• OEM-level calibration and response accuracy
• Comprehensive Porsche model testing completed
• Designed to improve long-term reliability
• Suitable replacement for common PADM sensor failures

Common PADM Fault Fixes

This upgraded PADM sensor helps resolve:

• Porsche PADM warning light
• “PADM Disabled” warning messages
• “PADM Fault” dashboard warnings
• Error Code 001013 – Sensor Signal Short to Ground Left
• Error Code 001023 – Sensor Signal Short to Ground Right
• PADM system disable issues
• Drivetrain mount sensor failures

Common PADM Fault Symptoms

Typical symptoms of a failing PADM sensor include:

• “Porsche PADM Disabled” warning message
• “PADM Fault” warning displayed on dashboard
• Repeated Check Engine Light (CEL) activation
• Unstable handling in Sport or Sport Plus modes
• Excessive engine vibration or rough idle
• Engine mount behaviour feeling too soft or too hard
• Fault codes 001013 or 001023 stored in diagnostics

Reinforced Internal Design

This upgraded sensor has been engineered specifically to address common weaknesses found in original PADM sensors.

Mechanical Chip Fixing

Unlike glued internal components used in standard sensors, this version uses a mechanically pinned chip for improved structural integrity and resistance to vibration-related failure.

CNC-Machined Aluminium Housing

The precision-machined aluminium body offers improved durability and protection against:
• Engine bay heat
• Pressure fluctuations
• High vibration loads
• Long-term fatigue failure

Plug & Play Installation

This upgraded PADM sensor is designed for straightforward installation with:

• No coding required
• No software calibration required
• No additional programming needed
• OEM-style electrical compatibility

Please note:
Replacement on Porsche 997 Turbo models requires significant disassembly and is more labour-intensive than on Porsche 991 applications. Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Installation procedures are broadly similar to Porsche 991 PADM sensor replacement methods. Please consult a qualified Porsche specialist to confirm labour requirements before ordering.

Important Ordering Information

• Professional installation recommended
• Please confirm labour costs with your repair workshop before ordering
• Installation requires significant vehicle disassembly on Porsche 997.2 models
