These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Guys, looking for a little help. Ihave a 2001 996 C4, gotan oil change the other day, on my way home, most of the dash lights came on for a split second. When I reached highway speed, light came back on, then my A/C, Stereo powered off. Lights went really dim. Eventually everything came back on with the dash lights remaining on the rest of the way home. I ensured the battery was charged, it was a bit low on voltage, rechargedthat. Took out Alternator and got it tested. It failed the test. Replaced the alternator, ensuring everything was hoodked up properly. Started it up and took it for a test drive, and all the lights came back on again. I did break a vacuum hose which was right above the oil fill spout, but replaced that. Any ideas what could be the issue? I do have a code readeron order..Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

I would check battery cables and ground straps. Power issues, including low voltage, poor charging, bad connections cause all sorts of gremlin-like issue like these.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 17362125

I will check that out, thanks for the reply!

POST 4Original post

With the car running, turn the key slightly left and right and see if everything stays on. IF the A/C and other stuff cuts off with a slight movement of the key, your ignition switch is shot..

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Turned the key as suggested, everything stays on, so it seems the ignition switch is not the issue, but thank you for the suggestion. I will contiue to diginto it.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I got my reader in, and I have error codes P0563, System voltage high? What would cause that? And code P0154, O2 sensor. Would I just need to replace that? Thanks in advance

POST 7Original post

O2 sensor codes are not always just the sensors themselves, the P0154 says there is no activity detected on Bank 2 Sensor 1. It could be a faulty O2 sensor or a break in the wiring going to the O2 sensor
