I've got the dreaded "failure spoiler control" on my 2007 Cayman. But sadly, it my be my own doing. I was fitting a new radio, and the previous owner had taken a 12V ignition feed from the spoiler/PSM button module. What a good idea, I thought. So I used this feed to make sure my new radio was working properly before fitting. However, after ignition on, satisfied my new radio was fine, I accidentally disconnected this feed from the radio, and received the failure spoiler control error. I now see this on every ignition on. Here's the strange thing. The spoiler is stuck on the up position. The button on the dash is still illuminated, and when pressed, I can here the spoiler move ever so slightly in each direction. Have I broken something, or will clearing the fault code fix my issue? Also, at the moment, that 12V ignition feed from the Spoiler/ PSM unit is dead. Just checked, the PSM button does nothing and there are no faults logged on the ECU. I've ordered a replacement PSM/Spoiler button unit. Will update when it arrives. Tony

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
