ABS light comes ON after start. Last week the ABS warninglight suddenly lighted up after starting the engine. Until now the sensors have been checked (all measured ca. 1000 Ohms, so they appear to be OK). Anyone?

It's supposed to come on. It's the self check feature.

It's if the light then fails to extinguish very soon after that you have a problem in which case you need to get the system thoroughly investigated to find the fault.

You can eliminate other common causes yourself though by physically checking the ABS wiring as much as you can, paying special attention to any connector plugs and where the harness passes through bulkheads and cable clips.

If after starting, the light goes out, then all is fine,its just the computer taking its time to check the system.

You will need scanned the ABS Module to know exacvtly what fault code is stored there; with this copde number we could send you othyer details to solve it. Generally is the Speed Wheel sensor go to bad or loss connections.

just look for the blackened/burned pin on the rear light plastic connector and sand it down to re-establish a good electrical connection and save yourself $800 big ones on replacing the multiswitch.

Had new front brake pads and rotors installed last week. Get grinding noise in reverse when first starting out then it goes away. ABS light and 4 wheel drive light come on and flash. Brakes work fine, what...

First have the brakes checked, the abs and 4wd lights need to be checked, this is done with a scan tool, the computer stores codes telling you what part of what system has failed this will help in finding the problem, the noise my be a bad wheel bearing and has gotten bad to the point it has damaged the abs sensor and has made the lights come on , this is a guess you will need to have the computer scanned to get the codes. hope this helps, good luck.

The hill descent, abs and tracking lights have come on two times within the last week. They come on while driving and will not come back on when the engine is started.

Suggests either Wheel Bearing, ABS Sensor Fault, or Shuttle valve. Best to get it to a dealer and on the computer for them to diagnose what exactly is wrong.

The car wont start. it blinks a lot of lights makes clicking

I had these problems on my 2005 911 when the battery died. Apparently when it goes IT GOES. I had no problem with the battery until this time and then suddenly it was dead.

I've heard since that this is common on Porsche 996 when the battery is dead and then is should also be the case with the 986 Boxter.

I removed the old battery and left the car without a battery for at least 30 minutes (while doing some other maintainance). Put a new battery in and no problems after that. On most cars if you disconnect the battery for like 15 minutes the maintainance computer resets its self and all warninglights should dissapear unless there is a real fault, then the appropriate light should come back on!

Good luck.

PSM failure with Boxster

I had these problems on my 2005 911 when the battery died. Apparently when it goes IT GOES. I had no problem with the battery until this time and then suddenly it was dead.

I've heard since that this is common on Porsche 996 when the battery is dead and then is should also be the case with the 986 Boxter since these 2 share a lot of components.
