Dear All, first post here so thank you for your patience. Last week went for a good blast (but not crazy)in my 996 C2 (1999) and close to home the tiptronic gear change leds started flashing. The gears seemed to be changing ok although I only drove it very slowly the last mile back and so not sure how it is behaving at speed. I got home, turned the engine off, restarted and popped the car in reverse which produced a definitive jolt, but no unusual noises. I have my local indy taking a look at it this week but today I thought I would start it up again to see if lights were still flashing. They were along with the engine management light on amber. Does anyone have a clue as to what would cause both tiptronic and engine management lights to come on? All answers gratefully received! Many thanks in advance.

thanks hopefully I will get the codes on weds, i was just wondering as x2 different sets of lights have come on, whether that would help narrow down what the problem was? I will let you know what the garage says on weds...fingers crossed

I have a 99 C2 with Tip. On two occasions the Tip lights were flashing. If I remember correctly you couldn't use the Tip function, shifts were a bit rough and it wouldn't shift into 5th gear. I visited the local dealer and the took it in and reset it for free.

They commented that it could have been caused by a low state of battery charge. The next time it happened I put my code reader on it, it showed a code and was able to reset it. It hasn't happened since but I make sure I keep a battery tender on it when I'm not using the car very much.

Good luck with the problem.
