Ok so i could no longer take it and bit the bullet, bought an 06 cayenne s Titanium and love it. but last night while out the doppler light warning came on and i have no idea what the hell it is or what i got my self into. can someone please shed some light on the subject?

in case anyone was wondering i bought her with 85,236 miles.

pics? sure

 

What light? May want to post a pic of light or message.

 

congrats....my wife loves her cayenne titanium edition!! What warning light came on..?? never heard of the doppler light!!

 

Love the blacked out look and the split color (deviated?) interior is lively!

Now as for the light(s), there are so many that I'd refer you first to your manual and maybe give us a better descriptor. A photo would help.

And this forum is the right place.

 

it was a message in the in the area between the speedo and tach, whats the right name or term for that screen?

i know on my corvette its called a DIC (Drivers Info Center) but being on a porsche it may be called something else.

This is not enough information. It could be anything and it could be nothing. May I suggest investing in an owner's manual.

There are so many lights and warnings in the PCM that it is impossible to assist your query.

 

yea dude, first reference the owners manual for what the light means. It could be something as simple as low windshield washer fluid or PSM is off

 

Alright,

so i finally got it to replicate again and it says Check Dip Beam, first time it happened my little brother was driving and he swore it said "check doppler light"

i guess when your 18 and driving around with few girls your trying to bang things can get a lil hazy lol. but now that we know its the dip beam what is it and is it hard to DIY?


i checked the manual and came up with nothing.

I have the exact same car -color, year etc. I'll bet it was not
"doppler". Next time you are turning, are the outside lights coming on. I will bet that one or both of your turn lights are out. I currently have the same warning. It should come up everytime you turn on the lights.

 

Dip beam is for one of your headlights, very common problem. Make sure both headlights are pushed in properly, I had the same problem and ended up having to replace the headlight rail/ locking mechanism...wasn't hard to replace and cost approx. $70 from the dealer.

If one of the turning lights go out you will get a warning for the cornering light.

Good luck

 

Yeah, sorry I missed the post above mine. I have the cornering light out on mine. It is actually the wife's car, but I get to drive it on occasion. It is amazing in the winter. Last winter it got the full test - we received between 500-700 inches depending on elevation.
