Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

Outcome without a verified action link

After searching it seemed that MAF was the most likely culprit; changed it and the problem persists.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've searched but can't find the answer. After driving anywhere from a few yards to a few miles I get PSM/ABS fault and eventually CEL too. After searching it seemed that MAF was the most likely culprit; changed it and the problem persists. The brake lights work fine so I assume it's not the brake switch. I remember reading something about PSS9's possibly causing the problem, does anyone have any insight on this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stanley

It's going to the shop tomorrow, I'll ask for the codes and post them.

POST 4Original post

go over to the pelican site. someone posted a solution to the ABS/PSM issue. look on the 996 forum.

POST 5Original post

Is my best bet on this to pull codes ( probably is) - got this for the first time today- I just noticed before turning the car off... Went into a store , came out everything normal? Car drives fine no error messages now? Should this matter..

POST 6Original post

This happened to me this past winter. Driving thru some heavy snow on the way home from work. The right front caliper froze. I was actually driving the car with only 3 wheels. Heard a snap (which was the wheel breaking free). The CEL/PSM and ABS all came on. Next day after having the car in the garage overnite and thawing out all was good. Doubt that was your problem but I think all lights are related to an issue with your brakes. ???

POST 7Original post

I noticed now it only goes on during slow driving and some braking...but goes every single time I K.O.K.O.. does it matter if I drive the car with it the alert on?

POST 8Original post

Go to a decent auto parts store, and they can pull codes for you off of the OBD2 port. Post them here and/or google the codes and you should get some idea of what's up. However, be aware that a lot of times the code translations don't give a clearcut answer.

POST 9Original post

Many conditions may cause an ABS/PSM fault light. Reading the codes will show you the first place to look. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turb...ure-issue.html
