Did you check your batterie? I believe my problem had / has something to do with a low battery.

Thomas if you haven't already got one buy a battery charger maintainer. I got one for a good price 50euro, it will top up (slowly) the charge of drained batteries and also is good for batteries of cars that don't get regular long drives, by way of topping off the charge keeping the battery healthy. 

 

I did suspect and mentioned in the post earlier that without an absolutely top condition well charged battery you may chasing a ghost problem. 

 

The cayenne platform seems to be one of the most susceptible cars to less than optimum battery condition. 

 

I now have brand new Alternator Hitachi, brand new top quality oem spec battery and use the car almost every day for 100plus km. If I do a few short journeys like move the from the basement to outside or out of warehouse to outside a few times in a row, you can tell it's having a draining effect on the battery such is the amperage draw of this engine cranking and running the subsystems. 

The alternator also has charging cycles, so hence longer journeys are key to battery life and reliability.

The problem is: our underground parking place dont have a power plug in possibility. No way to connect a maintainer

Hello,

my apologies from reviving an old thread, but I want to help anyone who might have the same issue in the future. Here is the answer:

Hello everyone, pleasure to meet you all.

I’m experiencing a similar issue that started with my battery running low, which then triggered the 4x4 warning message on the screen. I replaced the battery, but I have not yet replaced the transfer case solenoid actuator (part number PAB341601KT1).

I also noticed that on my cluster display, the gear indicator (D1, D2, D3, etc.) no longer shows correctly. The SUV runs fine overall, and I haven’t experienced problems with the gear lever getting stuck, the key being affected (locked)or going in to limp mode, However, the display is inaccurate — for example, when I shift into Reverse, it still shows “D” instead of “R.” When I shift into **Park, it continues to display “D” until I turn off the SUV, at which point it resets to “P.”

I scanned the vehicle and retrieved code 1316 – Tiptronic Switch using my X-Tool scanner. I can clear the code, but it returns again after driving. so you only see the D on the display.

From my side, I plan to replace the transfer case solenoid actuator soon. In the meantime, I’d like to ask: What solutions have you found for this issue on your end? please keep me posted

According to the Porsche Cayenne Service manual...

Note all symptoms then choose:

 

P1316  PSM control module

* No self-learning check 'Adaptation' of Tiptronic control module
* The last speed signal received via the CAN drive remains stored and is used for calculations

 

Possible cause of fault
* To localise the fault, read out the fault memory for the 'PSM control module' (Please read out fault memory)
* No message from PSM control module on CAN drive (no signal/communication

 

P1316 PSM control module

* Yellow warning in instrument cluster: 'Air spring faulty, workshop'
* Lowering to lowest level

 

Possible cause of fault
* Level control module could not establish a connection with the PSM control module (no signal/communication)
* Read out PSM control module fault memory
* Inclination control not possible (PASM)

 

P1316 PSM control module

* Limited functionality or no function

 

Possible causes of fault
* No signal/communication (no signal from PSM control module on CAN drive)
* Faulty (fault value for wheel speed or distance pulses)

Hi Loren! It was such a pleasure meeting you, and thank you for getting back to me. I wanted to ask where I might find those modules, and if you happen to have any diagrams available, that would be fantastic! 

 

I'm fairly new to using Cayenne at the moment everything on my cluster is fine I don’t have any fault messages or codes showing up, which is great! However, I’m having a little trouble with the lever for changing gears when its on manual it just wont work it doesn’t seem to work when I push it up or down. The tiptronic switch on the steering wheel works perfectly, though! 

 

I tested the solenoid actuator, and it’s functioning well, but I’m planning to swap it out with the new one I just purchased. I truly appreciate your help with this! Thanks so much!!

PSM module is left side of engine compartment.

[JD Sphynx]

So in this case I plug and un plug check for loose wires ?

 

[Loren]

Check for rodent damage and that all pins in plugs and connectors are clean and undamaged.
