Help Please Psm & Abs Lights

Friday while accelerating under wide open throttle in 3rd or 4th gear can't remember my car lost all power for a second and the ABS and PSM lights came on, then all seemed
normal except the lights are still on. A short time later the check engin light also came on. It's a 2004 tt with an EVO stage 3 kit.. Yesterday I cleaned the MAF, but didn't help..
Any one have any ideas???

THANKS

The MAF might have blown, completely. I know that if you remove your MAF (unplug it) and then start the car, your ABS/PSM lights will come on. It might just be on its last leg...

I should have mentioned for you to get the actual codes...Autozone or get your own OBD2 reader. This way we can be sure.

$461 is WAY too much money. Call Porsche Motorsports . . . they have them for less. If not, call Speed Gallery . . . they too have them for less.

No CEL, no OBDII codes. He won't be able to read any codes if it is only the ABS/PSM lights.

My bad... I retract my statement. The font was messing with my eyes, so I didn't pay as much attention to it as I should have been.

How much do they charge for a MAF? Is it pretty easy to change it out yourself?
