Porsche Chassis System Failure: Quick Fix and Tips

[@SerhansGarage]

This is an update to my video I made 2 years ago where I replaced a blown fuse to solve all the issues with the Porsche Chassis System Failure on my Cayenne.

Dealer ask 5500 $ for repairs (replacing the air compressor)and i fix it with 5 $ 👍🏼

Thank u thank u. Fixed my issue right away. Saved me thousands.

[@SerhansGarage]

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad it helped. It's been over 2 years since I replaced the fuse and it's worked perfectly the whole time.

Great advice man, many thanks from Sweden. I have that issue constantly on my Cayenne S hybrid.

Fantastic video bro. Helped a lot. Many thanks from Korea

Moisture in the compressor freezes and blows the fuse. Once it warms up a bit replace the fuse and all is good.

Solved my problem, thank you

My notification is in yellow not red. 2103 gts. The fuse is opaque you can’t see against a light. But I looked into it and it’s not blown. Ride is stiff as if constantly on sport chassis. All ride heights still work. Sport mode (as in engine plus ride stiffness) does not engage. It’s “not available. “ any hints?

2013 gts. I rode it harder than usual last night for about 2 hours. Between 75 and 95 mph. Partially in sport mode. I live in socal so it can’t be the cold weather because it’s 40-70 every day. I have summer tires with correct Porsche spec pressure. Thanks ! Was really hoping this would solve it. 😢

[@SerhansGarage]

Your notification says "Fault" (yellow) and not "Failure" (red) correct? Faults are usually electrical related. By any chance did you raise any of the wheels with a jack because if you did and you did not put the vehicle in service mode it confuses the vehicle and can trigger a fault. Try checking all the electrical connections including the top mount on the front struts and all fuses and relays.

@@SerhansGarage hey thank you so much, never saw this comment. it ended up being rodent damage. my mechanic said i was the 5th cayenne customer that month from my town. overpopulation. a week after he fixed it, the sport chassis button stopped working. sports mode still works, lowers the car, puts on louder exhaust/open valves or whatever it is. when i in sports mode put it in regular chassis mode, that works. all 5 different ride heights work, as do all the off road levels. when i then, still in sports mode but on normal chassis mode, press the sports chassis button, it does not work. it does not light up, and doesnt change the suspension stiffness. in other words, in order to change the car into stiffer suspension, i always have to engage sports mode. i am wondering if it's just the button? the button does light up when i put it in sports mode, however, when in normal mode, when pressing the sports chassis button, it does not light up. wondering if thats a remnant of the rodent damage or whether i should try replacing the whole unit with all those buttons? i guess it could be between the unit with the buttons, and the wires/circuits that connect to that unit. done spending money on this thing, everything else runs amazingly.

Yes that's a good video with the fuse but the Porsche Panamera 2010 has the same problem but my issue is not the fuse I don't know it might be a bottom control arm bushing chassis failure system it goes away when the car is level i just hope is nothing but front end work can u let me know of anything

[@SerhansGarage]

Many things can trigger the chasis system failure - leak in air shocks, bad compressor, bad sensors such as leveling sensors and ABS sensors.

[@AbelCalderon-b1n]

@@SerhansGarage hey thank you my car I noticed that when I park it on the hill slanted or something it gives me that chassis failure system but when it's on level ground it's normal so it might be the level sensor like you said process of elimination is not the ABS it's not the leak on the shock or the compressor hey thank you very much 👍👍👍

[@AbelCalderon-b1n]

But I do have a clunking sound when I go over potholes or so so I'm thinking it might be the control arms or the stabilizer links hey thank you and let me know if you know it could be that 😀

[@DaleMennis-rl4zr]

my 2012 porsche cayenne turbo has the same error message this week after our cold snap of last week!!

[@SerhansGarage]

Hopefully it's not a sign of an air leak. Mine has been good for 2 plus years since changing the fuse.

[@jayanthonyncohomes]

This happens to me every single winter!! How do I know if the fuse is blown?

[@SerhansGarage]

Pull the fuse and visually inspect it, if it's blown it will be obvious

[@spacewizard69]

I had the same problem and went to dealer and wanted to change the compressor and gave me an 5500$ estimate and i end up fixing it with 5$ fuse

[@SerhansGarage]

Wow, some dealers are not very honest or knowledgeable. It's been close to 3 years for me, same fuse, no problem.

ALO!! First get automatic fuse!! Second refill nitrogen in your suspension system.. Could weather will make moisture in air system.. that is why air pump frease and you blow your fuse.. Yours air valve can be damage and air will slowly excape in the night when car is not in use... Right pressure in tyres wil make you safer on road and car will perform better... But air systems have nothing to do with smaler tyres and presure !! Air system just performe best when it is just in god shape and serviced!!!
