I was installing a new radio headunit and so had disconnected the battery.

I straightened the steering wheel, disconnected battery, waited a few minutes, reconnected.

I unplugged and inspected every fuse and there were no issues.

Cnavarro: I took all the fuses out and inspected them there was 1 blown fuse that I replaced but it had nothing to do with the PSM or steering cluster.

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.

So I just drove the car for about a 1/2 hour, still no change.
PMS Failure When Installing A New Battery
Since installing a new battery in my 2006 Porsche 911 I have a PMS failure message and the steering wheel cluster (blinkers, wipers...) don't work. Has anyone else had this type of issue? Can this be fixed with a scan tool or do I need to bring it in to the mechanic?
I'd pull each fuse and inspect. Try to check the easy stuff first.
The rest will probably require a PIWIS if there is a coding issue. I don't see how changing the battery could result in damaging the multi-function switch in the column.
So I just drove the car for about a 1/2 hour, still no change.
I unplugged and inspected every fuse and there were no issues.
Hey Tonythetarga, is the relay your speaking about in the top of the fuse panel?
Does anyone have a recommendation for which scan tool to buy? I was looking at the icarsoft POR 2.
So I took the car out for about a 1/2 hour ride and the PSM error is still there.
Cnavarro: I took all the fuses out and inspected them there was 1 blown fuse that I replaced but it had nothing to do with the PSM or steering cluster. Do you have any suggestions on a good scan tool? I was looking at the icarsoft POR 2.
Tonythetarga: is the relay you mentioned the one at the top of the fuse panel?
Thanks!!
Lead acid, AGM, Li-ion? Not all batteries are equal.
Disconnect it for a few minutes, then reconnect. Make sure that the steering wheel is straight with no key in the ignition when/if you disconnect. Did battery or a charger or jumper wires ever get connected reversed polarity?
And remember to be really, really nice to her during PMS or you could be in a world of hurt.
Thanks for all the help. Unfortunately with the snowy weather here in NY I have not been able to do much more. I'm still wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good scan tool.
OK so yesterday I tried starting the car and turning the wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left and re-centering then drove it for a few minutes. Still no luck. Could this be a relay problem? the only relay I know of is in the fuse box, are there any others?
thanks to the above info, I got this resolved. I was installing a new radio headunit and so had disconnected the battery. PSM failure warning came up right away after reconnecting and starting up. I straightened the steering wheel, disconnected battery, waited a few minutes, reconnected. Then I did the full right turn/full left turn thing with the steering wheel, and drove slowly up the street for a few minutes. Warning cleared.
Thank you!
I had a similar problem with a 91 964

, since the battery was new I removed an amplifier and other aftermarket stereo equipment, the problem persisted.
I checked all grounds etc.....
Mark at Performance Independent Porsche found two issues
1) Bad Battery
2) Wrong size battery for the car
never had a problem since....
