Cayman PSM will not fully disengage! Help!
Discussion
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,

It's cuts back In I am afraid, it's not a drift king.
You can drift with less lock, it seems to not like a lot of lock and a lot of slip angle.
Keep the steering lock small and you can drift it.
But that's hard to do as a novice like me, it's easier to get the back out on the tighter bends at slower speed, but that gets it cutting back in.

Short of cutting the power line to the box that senses what the car is doing (expect the car to complain quite a lot and you never to pass an MOT again), you can't fully disable it. There are no easy fuses to pull and no quick fixes.
Annoying isn't it. I would love someone to offer a remap service that when you press the button it actually disables the thing and doesn't light up that yellow light on the dash. Given that you can change the parameters of the stability control on the ECU (retro-fitting sport plus), I expect it's possible. Just no-one's ever done it.
Saying that, it will drift with it 'disabled'. Not sure how far it really lets you get away with it as I've never tried it excessively. But it doesn't interfere as heavily/abruptly as it does with it on.

you can drift and spin up, it's only on tight turns at a speed etc where the YAW must say bks he is going to die and cut back in
I do track days and at Donnington it does not cut in
but it cuts in on just 1 corner at Bedford which is tight.
IT also cuts in on smaller roundabout if you try to power off them , but is ok on larger ones.

It will certainly fully disengage on a 987 Boxster (gen I). As soon as you press the button to turn it off there is a beep, and the PCM light on the dashboard is continuously on.
Thats normal and it might "look" like its fully off , but drive it like you stole it and you will see the little light blinking away.I wonder if at PEC the low friction surface has something to do with it or the low speed that you drive at.
