Can You Drive with a Porsche PSM Malfunction?

[DelLiam]

After a Porsche PSM malfunction occurs, it is not advisable to continue driving. You should reduce your speed and proceed to a 4S dealership for repairs as soon as possible, as a PSM malfunction can cause the Porsche's wheels to deviate from the correct driving direction, compromising driving safety. A Porsche PSM malfunction indicates a failure in the stability management system, which is a comprehensive safety system that includes electronic systems such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS), automatic braking differential system, and acceleration slip regulation (ASR). Once the PSM system in a Porsche malfunctions, it is often difficult to repair and usually requires replacement. To ensure the vehicle does not deviate from the correct driving direction, multiple sensors continuously monitor the vehicle's driving direction, speed, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration, calculating the actual driving direction of the vehicle. If the vehicle shows signs of oversteering or understeering, the PSM stability management system will apply independent braking to the corresponding wheels.
