I suspect a front right wheel sensor wiring but I'd like to read the error message first before I start cutting wiring and throwing parts at it.

Then I replaced strut mounts and it started coming on as soon as the car would move more than a few meters.

So I suspect the wiring to one of the front wheel sensors.

To get to the point, has anyone used ICarsoft 2 to diagnose PSM light on 996TT?

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

Hello, I own a 2003 911 Turbo manual which now consistently turns on PSM/ABS light on. I suspect a front right wheel sensor wiring but I'd like to read the error message first before I start cutting wiring and throwing parts at it. I have a ICarsoft 2 reader which supposedly has the ability to read PSM and ABS modules. It talks to ECU as normal but main screen doesn't even have PSM listed. It has ABS but it won't establish communication. Only thing I haven't tried yet is "live feed" function which I assume is OBD2 data. To get to the point, has anyone used ICarsoft 2 to diagnose PSM light on 996TT? Thank you.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Never mind, just got a reply from the manufacturer saying they don't have much support for Porsches this old. Off to see if Durametric can read it and who can loan it out.

POST 3Original post

Finding the abs/psm problem without a diag tool is........complicated. The problem can be abs sensors , low battery , abs pump sensor , airflow meter , brake pedal sensor and.............wheel angle calibration , that was this in my case , due to a battery change . I've a durametric pro and it not find the problem , piwis yes.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11622856

What a pain. Mine would come on once every couple of months, then go away next time I would restart the car. Then I replaced strut mounts and it started coming on as soon as the car would move more than a few meters. So I suspect the wiring to one of the front wheel sensors. When you say "wheel angle calibration" you mean steering wheel angle? Does the PSM warning have to be ON to be read by Durametric or piwis? Or is it stored in history?

POST 5Original post

Yes mate , steering wheel angle , sorry. The psm /abs fault is stored in the history.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
