Cayman PSM will not fully disengage! Help!

[LuckyNumber7]

Hi,

I'm trying to fully turn the PSM off by pressing the button (cayman r manual with chrono) but every time I try and get the car moving around (read drift) it cuts back in and the yellow light flashes in the instruments.

Am I doing something wrong?!? It's really annoying me!!!

I've seem multiple vids on evo and autocar etc of caymans drifting so it must be possible!

Cheers,

Nope, only tried to start the slide on power.

That's what's confusing me, I know it says it can come back in if the abs cuts in but it hasn't.

I see, so Harris and Drifty journos must be doing something I'm not.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm very surprised though, it's a porsche, not a polo!

So, eventually after some fairly aggressive lift off and then throttle application I got it to slide quite nicely in a tight corner but couldn't get the nack consistently.
If anyone who can could explain the technique I'd appreciate it!

Cheers!

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.
