why does my Porsche 911 992 (2019-Present) engine light stay on after repairs

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during inspection.

2. Inspect and Secure Connections

• Check all electrical connections related to the repaired components.
  • Ensure connectors are seated properly and not corroded.
  • Use dielectric grease on connectors to prevent moisture ingress.

3. Verify Sensor Functionality

• Test the relevant sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors).
  • Use a multimeter to measure voltage and resistance as specified in the service manual.
  • Replace any sensors that are out of specification.

4. Repair or Replace Faulty Components

• Based on diagnostic results, repair or replace any components that were found to be faulty.
  • If an oxygen sensor is faulty, remove it using an O2 sensor socket and install a new one, ensuring it is torqued to the manufacturer's specification.

5. Reset Check Engine Light

• After completing repairs, reconnect the battery.
• Use the OBD-II scanner to clear any stored error codes.
• Perform a test drive to ensure the engine light does not reappear.
