Hi from Saudi Arabia! I have a 2004 996 4s and it is a joy to drive. It is my daily car and drive around in temperatures of 47c. I have taken this car to Bahrain and back averaging 200kph there and back. This is a strong car! But the only issue I get is that the PCM comes up with a message saying that its shutting down due to overheating in 10 seconds. I took the car to porsche and they said everything is fine !

Does anyone know how to get around the issue?

All PSM fuctionality is provided by the ABS hydraulic pumpmotor and it will shut down due to overheating, or the potential for, really.

There was an issue with the Cayenne PCM 2 concerning overheating of the non Bose unit two years ago, they are replaced. I have no info for 996. Some 997 PCM 2.1 have a cooling fan on the navi. DVD drive in the front trunk, but it have nothing to do with your problem.
