Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Check your MAF sensor readings - clean and/or replace it as needed.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2001 C2 Triptonic with about 37000 miles. In both the Auto and manual modes the PSC and ABS both drop out during hard acceleration. My response at this point is to pull over and shut down; where both systems reset. I have talked to the local Porsche mechanics and their comment was that the PSC system is a big power draw on the electric systems and a place to start would be the alternator belt tightness or maybe a defective alternator. I checked that out with no go. One thought I had was that the ABS system is probably the initiator and without ABS signals PSC just throws a fault and shuts down. Any ideas?

POST 2Original post

what are the fault codes, I cant help you without them

POST 3Original post

1. check your brake lights - afaulty brake light switch can cause this. 2. Check your MAF sensor readings - clean and/or replace it as needed.

POST 4Original post

funny, just started a thread with same problem. surfer161
