20 Most Recent 2005 Porsche Cayenne Questions & Answers

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cellphones category. In a word, you can't. You own a very desirable, high end, luxury SUV that is protected by a highly advanced anti-theft system and immobilizer. It is all computer controlled by the chip in the key, the transponder in the steering column, the anti-theft module, the Body Control Module, the Engine Control module and all the sensors in the vehicle. When the car was new, it came with three full keys and a valet key. Your dealership can supply a new key based on the VIN Number and reprogram the anti-theft system and immobilizer.

I am not a Cayenne guy but first and formost the timing belt on Porsche's absolutely must be changed every 60k miles or sooner and the water pump every other time, just for good measure. A rough idle after 1 hour driving does not sound like a timing belt issue to me. I would call/attend a local Porsche Club of America (PCA) event and ask around as to who the best mechanic/shop owner is. In the mean time, IF it is the timing belt DON'T DRIVE IT!!!!! if the belt breaks while the engine is running, you may as well buy a new engine! Get very familiar with everything Porsche and your vehicle will last and love you for a very long time. If you don't it will destroy you and your pocket book!I hope this gets you in the right direction!Mike Schindler85/2-944NA88-944 Turbo76- 911S Race Car

There is a switch on the brake pad shaft that is bad. There are two switches - one for brake and one for cruise control.

did you ever solve this problem, have the same issue myself :-(

As stated in your handbook under "warning symbols" this is a general warning light which is basically informing you of a message that needs to be addressed by accessing your menu messages. It's located on the end of the arm with the rocker switch and another switch right below it. Navigate through the menu to find "warning messages". Here you'll find what needs to be addressed. Hope this helps.

Sounds like an electrical problem. Are you having any other electrical issues? Check your fuses for the dash panel. Are your accessories working?

Sounds like an electrical problem or a problem with the audio system itself. Are you having any other electrical issues? Check your fuses.

Bash.

Cannot help with a wiring diagram .but i will tell you how to test a sensor as the ABS computer is the only one that resets itself .now remove the sensor and then hold it gently in a small vice ,no connect a multimeter up to the two wires or connection block then with the multimeter set to millivolts rapidly pass a spanner head over the end and see if the meter fluctuates ,yes i know you can check the resistance across it but i just pass the spanner then check the resistance and write it down then check the next one and so on ,also when refitting make sure you lightly smear the electrical connection with some copperslip grease to prevent corrosion ,

sounds like a fuel problem or sensor of some sort

Check for fuel filter restriction or defective fuel pump. Check for problems with ignition. I once had a defective ignition switch the car would start and when I drove the car it would turn off while I was driving.

I had what seems to be the exact problem. It sounds like the spark plugs need replacing or the coils over the spark plugs have cracked. Don't try to replace just one and while you're in the process of removing them you might as well replace the plugs too. If you've already done this, I'm not sure what your next step would be, slight of putting it on a montor. You need to remove the plastic shrouds around the engine. Undo the engine mount so the silver plastic covers can be removed on both sides. You'll also have to remove the black plastic covers over the wiring harness on top of the engine at te front. They just snap off. Each coil has a small screw holding them in place. Good luck.

People all over the world have similar vehicle problems every day on ALL vehicles I have to tell you, that there is no way someone else that has the same vehicle & solved the same SYMPTOM, your having, will have the same solution They may, but ALL Vehicles have to be tested to find problems, as your dealer did. If the dealer had two vehicles next to each other, the cost to diagnose,the time required,etc would be the same Your question is about shot gunning someone else's issue, with a similar vehicle & making the same repair, to save you time & money etc etc Does not work like that at all EVERY job is a fresh start You follow a process to hopefully, a successful conclusion That process is only to find a problem,anything,fix it & continue on,that is how it works Dealers & Independents do check bulletins & other info, to help speed the testing along. But no testing & problem found & confirmed--- NO parts get installed That is why it can take months to get where your at Will your $1,200 be the answer --MAYBE-- if the testing confirms why that part is going in & IF-- IF there is NO other problems or issues

/get a new battery or charge it overnight!
