Reported cause
I suffered similar warning light warnings a while back, it turned out to be the MAF sensor playing, I never got to the bottom of why the warning lights came on when the MAF sensor failed.

Some of the common causes are, a faulty brake light switch or MAF, faulty wheel speed sensor / lead / or a faulty or corroded abs reluctor ring, with age rust can also build up on the rings and they can also crack giving incorrect speed signals, a faulty ABS pump (which can be tested and repaired) will cause this issue.

Still having problems with this damn fault, first, ABS and PCM always lit on dash, took car to independent Porsche garage, fitted 2 new ABS sensors and a sensor on pump, picked car up, ABS and PCM dash lights out, drove back home, 15mins, suddenly ABS PCM light came back on, turned off engine, after starting, ABS and PCM lights off, drove around for a while, then lights came back on, this happens all the time, booked back in garage, they fitted a new brake light switch, picked up car, all lights off, drove home, 15 mins later ABS and PCM lights back on, turn engine off and restart no lights, but they come back on after a short drive.

Thx Martin, the switch was replaced, I decided to take it to an auto electrician this time as my Porsche garage so far as not fixed the fault, here is his report, he thinks it is the ABS pump that is faulty..

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.

They did fix something to get the lights off but still not sorted..

Hi Steve
The two above replies are worth a shout.
Also this is the most common issue that I get emails about from members and they seems to becoming more regular as our cars age. Intermittent faults can be a real pain to resolve at times.
The PSM takes its info from the abs sensors, but Intermittent PSM lights can be caused by a number of issues some of them totally unrelated to the PSM if that makes sense MAF etc.
Some of the common causes are, a faulty brake light switch or MAF, faulty wheel speed sensor / lead / or a faulty or corroded abs reluctor ring, with age rust can also build up on the rings and they can also crack giving incorrect speed signals, a faulty ABS pump (which can be tested and repaired) will cause this issue.
The following links may give you some guidance of components which can also cause the issue and may help solve your problem.
Some of the below also have further links to follow.

Hello Steve, I had the exact some problem, it was due to the switch behind the brake pedal, i think you said you had replaced it but i would double check that connection.
Thx Martin, the switch was replaced, I decided to take it to an auto electrician this time as my Porsche garage so far as not fixed the fault, here is his report, he thinks it is the ABS pump that is faulty..
