Random(?) Error Messages

[SteveY]

For the first two months with my Macan 4, I received no error messages. In the last two weeks, I have seen two. They dismiss and do no return after a power down period. Has anyone else had this? Also, I have no idea what 'visit workshop' is referring to. Dealer?

From everything I have seen in this forum: the only errors you should worry about are the persistent ones. If it haven't seen this error again after a power down it was likely a glitch!

Error 1: Assistance systems limited is common if sensors are dirty or obstructed. I would wash and dry the car and if it persists then it means you have a sensor issue not communicating with the Assistance module, which is not good, if it has to do with Warn and Brake feature which is automated braking.
Error 2: There is something wrong with the E-Sound (different from Sports Sound) which is standard sound required by law to notify anyone around that there is a car coming, since EVs are not loud enough to be heard. Visit workshop is Porsche's way to saying, visit the Dealer.

For #1: completely agree, snow, dirt, sometimes water/rain... this occured on the ICE macan's 2021-2023 as well. I had this during a snow storm.

#2: haven't had this issue yet.

if it continues (and the car is clean) it may be a programing issues. i had several warnings (not that one) and the car had to be reprogramed at the dealer, twice

Same happens to my 4. Randomly popped this message.

I’ve seen them both, once. They’ve never returned. I’ve seen other messages too that have never come back.

Another member taught me about the “5 minute cycle”. If you see a message, turn off the car and walk away (with your key) for 5 minutes. Upon return, if it’s just a glitch, the message will be gone. The 5 minutes away has something to do with the car resetting all errors after 5 minutes. Then, when it boots, it checks everything and hopefully finds nothing.

Good luck.
