everything else seems to work fine on my car, it looks like all my lights work etc, but my psm switch on my dash does not work... guessing thats because the psm error message...

 

Right. When the ECU sees anything outside of its control window, it turns off PSM and ABS so that it doesn't misunderstand a situation and make it worse. That is why so many different faults can trigger this condition.

The CEL is a different story. Usually it's the MAF, but could also be coil packs, plugs, O2 sensors, ... You'll be a lot closer to the solution when you have the codes read. Otherwise, we're just guessing.

I had a customer receiving the PSM/ABS error due to a bad alignment. Did you receive the error while driving or upon startup? I didn't see if you mentioned that.

 

My car was sitting for maybe 6 weeks..when I parked it last it was running fine, no error messages... I started it up wednesday morning after it sat for the 6 weeks and I had check engine light, ABS light and PSM light on...

 

Get it scanned most likely it is the MAF stop guessing and DRIVE THE CAR MORE!!

 

I live in 2 different states..so when I am in florida I do drive the 996tt

 

is it bad to drive the car while I have these message's? possible bad maf?

 

You wouldn't want to take a long trip or drive the car hard, but at this point it would be absolutely wonderful for your car to drive it to AutoZone and get the codes read. They do it for free.

 

The code #115 came up.. I was told it a mass sensor..? Mechanic said the maf code was not being thrown... He told me about $500.00 to replace the part.. Sound right?

 

Knew it! $500 seems way high. If you'd like I can ship you the sensor and you can swap it out yourself. It'll be cheaper. Or you get the sensor and have your mechanic put it in. Very simple, just two screws and a plug.

 

i JUST HOPE ITS NOT THE maf SENSOR ALSO... PM ME YOUR PRICE FOR THE SENSOR i NEED.. DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO OF IT? THANKS

 

Maf sensor and mass sensor are the same thing. MAF stands for Mass Air Flow Sensor/Meter.

Here is a picture

 

yes that looks like what he pointed to...

 

go get yourself some electronics cleaner spray from radio shack and pull the maf out and spray the sensor and connectors really well. Let it dry for about 30 minutes in dry climate or an hour. Then reinstall and you might be ok without spending any money. The MAF may just be fauled a little.

 

thanks prche951, car has not been running right since error codes showed up...
