Hopefully a happy ending to my ABS/PSM problems. Brought my car to my dealer for diagnosis yesterday. When scanned, there were no specific error codes for the ABS or PSM. This led to the diagnosis faulty ignition switch. They stated it is a common problem with 02 and 03 911's. I had them replace it and all seems to be well again, knock on wood. Thanks for all of the responses.

FYI for people with this problem... if you have tire sizes which increase the overall diameter on the front or the rear and not both equivalent to eachother, this will cause the same issues, especially when your speed increase like freeway speeds.

Another random symptom I experienced was when I turned the ignition off the car remained on. This only happened twice over a month.

I assume that when these idiot lights come on that the ABS/PSM is no longer working?

I tested the ABS by slamming on the brakes at speed and it still worked.

Tracked the car this weekend. No issues at all with ABS or brakes. The problem was fixed by replacing the ignition switch.

Great job and one less thing to worry about, I replaced mine also and my brake pedal no longer stalls the car.

Glad it worked out for you as well. A bit crazy how many things are affected by this simple switch going bad. Worse is that it cannot be diagnosed through scanning for a fault code.
