Cayman PSM will not fully disengage! Help!

[MisterDJ]

I have been sideways at a number of track days and skid pads, and never noticed any intervention (or blinking - but will double check gopro footage). A few of these times I ended up spinning, which further supports my view that the PCM is fully off.

here is an example of a small powerslide where PSM did not intervene to prevent the sideways stuff. I remember reading the instruction manual where it mentioned that when the PCM button was pressed there would be no stability control, but the system would still brake individual wheels but in order to mimic the locking differential effect.

There are a few threads on teamspeed and planet9 with similar reports, some people even cutting cables etc to disable PSM, maybe it's a gen 2 thing??

There might be some order in steering/throttle application that doesn't trigger the PSM.
I tried to intiate a drift several times and 3 times it allowed it and we had a lovely power sustained drift, the rest of the time the PSM light flickered and killed the power.

I'm off to the silverstone posche centre next week so I'll have a play on the track and figure it out.

Bumping this old thread because I'm curious if anyone ever did the disconnection of 'yaw' control mod to enable full off of the PSM ?

Can't help thinking this car could be more fun at lower speeds if it were allowed a bit more slip, also I don't have sports chrono which I guess does not help.

Sports Chrono lets it slide a little but still intervenes if you get too lairy hahaha

I've heard it said that disconnecting the yaw sensor ground wire disables it completely. We did try unplugging something for a race recently with a rented 987.1 but it killed ABS too.
