Air suspension warning, but works fine


Recommended Posts

Today I got the air suspension warning this morning.

The air suspension is working fine, rises and lowers the car , stays at the height I program , suspension feels fine.

Took a 150 off road trip (was the plan when I left the house and when I got this warning).

Warning kept coming on during the day, not inmediatelly but sometimes after 5 minutes other times after 30.

Drove the hell out the cayenne today, and worked awesome, technical steep climbs and descends, rocky roads, fast , slow, and the car and suspension felt great.

So any ideas what could this be? I get the warning but works fine.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Its a Cayenne S 2004, do you guys know if there has been a recall for this in 2004 model?

Do you have a warranty ?

I had that message 7 days after I got the car from new with no fault found. A few weeks ago my passenger side airstrut blew out, not covered by extended warranty cost $1800

nice

On the 04's I am advised that there may be a hardware fault in some early units

Take it seriously

motoadve, best if you get a Durametric tester or go to you OPC and get a scan. From experience faults like this are very hard to diagnose without a scan. I too had a Air Suspension fault and at the same time a PSM fault. Everything worked OK with the car just that the beeps on starting and the constant yellow ! was a pain. A scan indicated a pressure sensor but without access to Poses it hard to go any further. After mucho scrathing and a search of Poses (the Porsche version of Ektra, available on ebay) turns out it was the small pressure transducer on the brake master cylinder (So still don't know why it gave me an air suspension fault and a PSM fault together), fix was a £30 sensor and a full brake bleed. Still after that decided to buy the Porsche extended warranty, then guess what, nothing goes wrong with the car. Good luck with your problem

Thanks

it stop doing it for the past 2 days

But took it to the dealer and the Piwis tester found a register of a sensor fault.

But it auto fixed itself.

Might have been caused because the car was jacked to take a spoiler out, that happened Friday, Saturday, Sunday Monday I get the alarm

The car is jacked again Tuesday to change a tire.

No more alarm!!!

Hopefully doesnt come back, at least we know its a sensor if it comes back
