Check Engine Light and Vehicle Diagnostics
When a check engine light illuminates it’s sending a message that action needs to be taken. Modern Porsches are equipped with many sensors and can often let you know that things are starting to go wrong before damage occurs. The onboard vehicle diagnostic sensors in your Porsche form a complex network. Interpreting their output takes experience.
Common causes of check engine lights
Error lights can mean something as simple as a loose gas cap or they may indicate that there is a serious problem with your engine. Some of the most common causes of check engine lights include:
Loose fuel cap and/or faulty fuel cap seal Problems with the battery or alternator Loose electrical connections or electrical system problems Problems with the cooling system pressure Fuel pressure, quality, or quantity issues Issues with the fuel injectors or fuel injection system Emissions problems Exhaust problems Faulty components like relays or modules
