996 Turbo / GT2 Turbo discussion on previous model 2000-2005 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and 911 GT2.

First it's a ABS/PSM warning, then replace harness, now it's the CEL! WTF!!

It can happen either way.

From the few of us that replied to your last thread, we didn't get the CEL, just ABS/PSM, which we had actual ABS/PSM issue, not the MAF. Good luck with this, I know it sucks.

For those of you that had MAF issues, and you got the ABS/PSM lights,
Did the ABS Failure and PSM Failure, take car into nearest dealer immediately messages appear on display?

Or did just the little round ABS and PSM light illuminate?

I have an extra Alum Vflow upgrade if you don't have it and want it.
Look into getting the Hitachi Maf (with the proper tune) and your issues will go away.

Thanks. In my case, I never got a CEL. It was only the failure messages.

Hitachi MAF FTW!

I have a Vflow upgrade (without a waffle) that I'll send to ya if you'd like. I had Evo send it to me and then I decided to just do the MAF upgrade instead...

Maybe these codes/issues truly have been unrelated. I am hoping it was first the harness and then now the MAF and by replacing both those and adding this v-flow upgrade thing I can be okay again... for awhile.

I don't want to upgrade the MAF yet because I do not know which turbo upgrade kit I will be going with yet in the next year - Proto, EVOMS, etc....

thanks everyone for the help.

I bought a cheap scan tool and confirmed the MAF destruction with P0102 code. And the ABS/PSM and CEL are all on all the time now, whereas before the ABS/PSM were intermittent. I ordered a MAF from SpeedTech and will install that when it gets here and hopefully solve the issue for now. Gotta see if I have the upgraded V-flow or not now and go from there....
Thanks for the offers and help guys. Appreciate it!
