Engine Control Fault!!

[r1flyguy]

Hi All

Had this message pop up tonight…





Car was serviced a month or so ago, had popped over to see my mom, approx 20 miles, A roads & motorway, as I got in car to return home the warning came up.

Any ideas or could it just about be anything from a long list of possibilities

Cheers

Could be anything, lots of sensors throughout the system, from the drivers manual below.

Engine control fault
Consult dealer
Driving permitted

Engine control system is faulty.

Possible to drive on.

Have the fault corrected at a qualified specialist workshop.*

Guessed as much

Hopefully picking up the other car tomorrow from Solihul OPC so I shall ask them then

A cheap OBD reader would allow you to read codes. Many talk to phone apps and not much more than a tenner

I had a similar problem with my 2015 SD: full details below.

As you're only getting the "Engine Control Fault" warning, it may not be the same thing. Get your OPC to see what the car thinks the fault is.

Cheers for that.
Had Ad-blue put in a while back but no long enough to be an issue or need a refill/top-up just yet.

I’ll report back once i know more

We’ve had that fault twice. Cleared by turning car off and on again OPC said no fault codes stored either time

Tried that, doesn’t clear it, even after being parked up for 24 hours

I am in the Midlands and have a Porsche fault code reader if needed.

How much Ad Blue did they add? - I put in almost 20L last time.

Thanks Ti Rich
Much appreciated,
I had to pick up the 911 today so basically swapped the cars over so Porsche Solihul have the Macan now.

I’d have to look it up how much they put in as I was t in the country when the wife took it in when the warning came up, I’m assuming they filled it up as the bill was about normal for a full tank IIRC.

Thanks again, I’ll bear you in mind for next time
