There are two warning lights on the dash. The circular one cannot be turnned off. The warning from where you see the boost leve, temp... that one you can turn off.

born2boost is infamous around these parts
Is there still no proper solution to this problem?? One that continues to use the PSM system? I had a real scare last night with my stock 996tt.....My brakes felt as they were binding at first...so I decided to give it a few stomps to try and release the pads from the discs....big mistake...the car locked up all the wheels!!! ABS and PSM failure on the dash too

I had to have the car towed home on a flatbed...

Although when we were offloading the car from the flatbed, the brakes unlocked by themselves and when I fired it up, al the warnings disappeared too!

I am highly confused here....please help!!

Hi All...

I just thought I would post here in case someone still has this problem.

It turns out that the Brake Master Cylinder was the culprit. Changing it completely resolved my issue.

Cheers
