2011 Panamera4 check engine and other faults

[atilla91]

Check engine/PDK/PSM etc faults light up on dash, and Pana goes into limp mode.   Happened a week ago, I restarted and it went away.  Then twice yesterday.   I attached the Durametric.   80K miles now, new plugs from Porsche at 50K, brake pedal sensor at 64K, but otherwise original parts.   Any thoughts on what to try?   15 7 Jan 2018 Engine check etc.pdf15 7 Jan 2018 Engine check etc.pdf15 7 Jan 2018 Engine check etc.pdf

Engine Module Siemens EMS SDI 6.1

P0500: Ignition Coil "B" Secondary Circuit Upper limit value exceeded

C1200: Ignition Coil B Primary/secondary Circuit No signal/communication

B0300: Transmission Mount Valve -1-/-2- -N262-/-N263- Short circuit to B+ Value below lower limit value

P0200: Cyl.2 Misfire Detected Upper limit value exceeded

 

It is probably unrelated, but a month ago it started giving an error on right side turn signals (and clicking faster), but all the lights are working fine, so I ignored it.

Two suggestions to help diagnose...

 

1. Clear the faults and try and drive the car - re-check the faults.

2. Check your battery - both load and specific gravity. A weak or old battery can cause all sorts of odd electrical faults. Any battery over 4 years old should be replaced (IMHO).

Loren,  thanks for the ideas.   I cleared faults, drove fine for 1 trip, then all the faults a few hours later returning.   I replaced the original MollAGM (7 years old) in September 2017 with a BoschAGM (pictures).   Should I buy one from Porsche at $500?   The voltage displayed is 14.3 or 14.4V.  I could put an oscope on the 12V and look for noise or V-drop, but not specific gravity.  The faults don't come on when starting the engine, rather shortly after starting to drive.  I could put a little heater in the battery compartment to see if temp changes anything (just an idea).   David

That battery is fine. And, so do your voltages.

As follow-up, I changed all 6x coils and spark plugs, and car works fine, no more faults.    I cleared memory with Durametric.    A couple months ago I started noticing a bit of engine vibration at idle, and that is gone also.

Is it recommended to replace coils with spark plugs on the PTT?

I would assume not, unless coil is damaged in some way.  Cayennes had them cracking.  

Thanks.

Coils can be visually inspected for cracks and tested with an ohm meter.

Spark plugs can be inspected for cracks -- they can also be inspected for ground electrode and center electrode wear.
