My PSM warning came up then the car stalled. It restarted fine but now PSM system doesn't work. Not sure if it's related but I was in a car wash just prior to this happening.
Anybody familiar?

OP - seriously, please buy a Durametric cable, $300 is worth its weight in gold for cars originally costing $130k+

Mine did this when the MAF failed but you could have water effing with sensors, could have an alternator problem.... as above log with a Durametric cable

Mine still comes on intermittently when cold after 1st start up?
Goes off if the car is turned off & then re-started?

Is it a bad sensor or relay etc?

Thanks in advance.
Have had that for years but mine typically faults out the PSM + ABS on the next straight after I throw it into a tight corner, especially over a crest. I'm thinking wheel sensor/ cable for mine but it drives nicer with it off (especially on track) so have never tried to get it fixed. Will be interested to hear back what it proves to be with yours.
