991.1 4S Fault messages

[Steve Taylor1]

Hi People
So recently after 5 - 10 mins driving the following messages have started come up:
PSM loss possible to drive on carefully
Start stop operation deactivated
4 wheel drive limited possible to drive on

Slowing down: rumbling from under the rear / middle of the car

Then I pull over and within about 20 seconds the car runs like it has a miss-fire.

Turn off car, 10 - 15 seconds later restart car and drive away, no retained messages car run's normally messages don't reappear..... until I drive the car the next day.

The car also has the famed check the hi level brake light - likely due to the broken wire issue

Any idea
Many thanks

All the best
Steve T

I've experienced the above problems in isolation of the later issues you described. Have you noticed anything odd when braking? Such as the pedal sticking slightly before it returns to top of its travel?

My Turbo S had this. If I remember it was a coil pack issue fixed under warranty

No : it does rumble from under the rear / middle of the car, other than already described nothing...

So a 2013 car would this still be covered under a warranty????

If you've got an extended warranty in place ...... yes.

Well worth having an OPC warranty. It's 10 years now , you could have it for 5 more . It will be a 111 point check at an OPC and buy it.

I second the OPC warranty

Just had a Rear axle steering fault message appear and then disappear. If its rack its 3K !

Unfortunately if you haven't already got a warranty in place you'd need to have these existing faults fixed before you would be accepted on to the scheme.

Fixed

New battery
new coil packs
New spark plugs

All good

Many thanks: I meant the brake light cable for the spoiler mounted brake light

Hi Steve,

I'm experiencing the same High Brake Light fault. Caused by frayed and broken cables. Despite 2 previous fixes, the wires snapped once again.

Here's what I gathered from other forums and all photo credits are to them (Rennlist, Google and You Tube sources).
An improved, longer cable part number 991 612 881 01 though it could break yet again. Some recommend DIY-ing longer, durable cables and routing them around that hinge (instead of through it).

To reveal the cables within the spoiler lid, follow this video from 4mins onwards:

Here's a video for spoiler assembly removal:

I'll post my pics when I get around to doing the job!

Cheers!
