VERY MINOR ISSUE.

I will,I promise !
Now as far as this solenoid is concerned,I have a few questions:
If I dis-connect the battery will it erase this code?
Will this keep happening everytime I detail this car?
Is there a code reader we could buy to check these ourselves and maybe perhaps erase codes?
Any easy way to deal with this (eg. like go away on it's own,disconnect a plug,fuse anything)?
The dealer is just a pain to go to for me !
How about Durametric(diagnostic software) for your laptop?

I'm also interested in the answer to Stacy's question. I spent a number of evenings this past week color sanding and polishing my hood. I had it propped open with a rolled up blanket so I could buff to the edges without hitting the fenders. Then today I got the subject System Fault. I thought it may have been related to having the hood propped open (the trunk light went out after timing out). I never would have associated it with static from the buffer. I'm glad this thread got resurrected at the same time I experienced this problem.

So I would expecet a few to be having the same problem.
I wish there was a better way of dealing with this so as not having to go to the dealer.
I have been searching on this Durametric program for your laptop.I just am not sure if it will work for this,anybody with experience with this program PLEASE chime in !

I agree 100%. It is a royal PITA to have to take it into the dealer for something that shouldn't happen in the first place.

I just had a "System Fault Visit Workshop" after picking up my car from the body shop and then driving home. All seemed fine until the next day when I started my car - "System Fault Visit Workshop" came up on the dash and I used my code reader and it read "Front Control Module Faulty."
Oddly I noticed my rear tail lights and license plate lights were on and I couldnt turn them off. So strange! I am hoping that a replacement of the module with fix this rear tail light problem, although I searched the forums and nobody mentioned that they experienced weird electrical gremlins when they received the "Front Control Module" fault. I sure hope a new module fixes my problem.
The body shop agreed to take care of it. They mentioned that my battery died when it was there (they probably left the hood or door open) so maybe the battery "jump" blew the module or maybe it was the waxing.
Will keep y'all posted, let me know if you have heard of a faulty module to cause the lights to stay on when the key is in. Hmmmmm

Very comical that this happens when you polish the headlight area of the car!
I have done it TWICE....

Rep Power: 110 As long as it is the module that is for the post 2007.5 997's then it should be the right one to run LED's. This is assuming the module that has gone bad is the one for the lights (the one located under the driver seat).
