Oil Pressure Indicator Failure
katyrow replied to katyrow's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thank you for the responses. One more question on indicator failure messages. Am I correct that the "indicator failure" message is intended to convey a problem with the gauge or sensor, and that if my oil pressure was indeed dropping to zero and the gauge were accurately reflecting the zero reading I would not get the "indicator failure" message? Thanks for your help. -
The oil pressure gauge on my 2002 C4 Cab intermittently drops like a rock to zero for between 5 and 15 seconds and then returns to normal. At the same time, the onboard computer shows "indicator failure." The gauge shows normal pressure at all other times (5 bar when the engine is cold, never below 2 at idle, etc.). Oil level is fine. Warranty expired in January of '06. This happened only once before the warranty expired. The dealer was unable to find anything wrong. Any thoughts on what this might be?
