Im in for a 991 fix....another member of the spoiler loss club...
Ive done some research and have been able to "reset" the spoiler without pulling battery terminal off. With the car off and ignition on, hold the manual spoiler button for ~30 seconds. The button light should flash and the spoilers will extend and tilt for 1-2 cycles. I believe this is part of the "calibration" that has fixed some members spoilers that are stuck, jammed, improperly retracted, etc. Once it fully retracts you lock the car, unlock the car, and then turn it on. This has enabled my spoiler to function again in manual and sport plus mode....all until i reach 77mph. Above 77, it fails immediately or within 60 seconds

Bumping this thread I’ve been dealing with the spoiler loss issue for a while now manually I can extend and retract the front and rear but once I hit 78mph I get the error code and it takes about 2-3 ignition cycles for the spoilers to deploy again. So far I have had the front air bladder pressurized and check for leaks none found. I just replaced the control assembly in the frunk and had Porsche calibrate the spoiler but I’m still getting the spoiler loss once I hit 78mph. At this point should I just replace the front spoiler or should I check anything else? Thanks

So I had the same message a few months ago. Just popped up without any previous issue and then every time I drove at speed.
Went to the Porsche dealer and their answer was a front spoiler bladder leak give us lots of $’s to replace. I have never hit anything with the spoiler so I was suspicious enough to say wait.
I brought my car for an oil change one week later to my Indy. Great shop who does great work for 1/2 the Porsche tax rate. They checked everything and said all was good. They performed a total spoiler function reset and all good no more issues and cost nothing but a bit of time.
