Question PSM/ABS and CEL light's on !!!!

Hello to everybody !
I have 2000 C2 . I got all 3 lights on right now ,and PSM botton will not work at all.So I took it to Autozone ,to try get some codes. After they run scanner ,3 different codes pop up .
P1577 - pedal position sensor disagreement btwn sensor
P1578 - ETC power less than demand
P1218 - CID low

I got this messages after we hook up scanner to computer
And for now PSM stays off ,because PSM botton wouldn't work
Anybody have any idea's what it could be ????
Thank you in advance !
Vadim

try ressetting by unplugging the battery and stepping on the brakes for 30 seconds, hope that it goes away. Will need radio code for this...

You need somebody with a Porsche shop manual. The meaning of the codes is slightly different among car makers. It appears like some sort of sensor in either steering or brake position isn't working, but only the shop manual will let you pin-point it.

You probably think PCM as in power controle module?

PSM/ABS light is usually due to a sensor malfunction, such as wheel sensor, steering sensor, brake pedal sensor, etc.

Is it a porsche shop manual or crap like Hannes, etc?

I had very good luck with GM/Nissan/Toyota shop manuals. They would give you a diagnostic procedure for each code and part numbers for what needs to be replaced.
