Did you recently have a dead battery?

Sounds like one of those little blue pills may have found its way into your car.
On a serious note there could be an issue with one of the connectors from the struts/shocks.

Dropped car off yesterday morning and they found fault code but unable to determine what is causing issue so they will keep and contact me tomorrow for third day in shop!

I was having similar intermittent sport mode issues. Dealer reset the steering angle sensor a few times. Then contacted PCNA. Then they did a "gateway reset". Haven't had a problem since.

What they found
We found the issue; the connector at the PSM module did not have a secured fit which was causing communication faults in the system (lights on dash). So I’m happy to say the vehicle is good to go and ready for pick-up.
Thanks for your patience

my car has this issue, intermittent "PASM Indicator Faulty" code pops up and the car is stuck in sport mode. It usually resets the next time I drive the car. So reading here, it seems it could be the steering wheel sensor, though that seems more linked to PSM failure. So I think it is a connection to the PASM module. So- anyone know where I find this to check the connections?

PASM control box is located in the passenger foot well area, behind the carpet on the right hand side wall. See post #154 in this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...l#post12887824 As a reminder, non-'S' cars do not have PASM and will not have this control box.
It's also unlikely that the connector came loose on its own unless someone had disconnected/reconnected the control box after it left the factory. The connectors are automotive locking grade and rarely come loose by themselves. The only time I've seen connectors like this come loose is after reinstallation and NOT installing it properly.

Does your car still have factory suspension? Could be one of the PASM cables or one of your shocks/struts starting to have a problem. I had this issue, but my cause was because of my improper install of the PASM cables when installing my Bilstein Damptronics. Cable got pinched over time.
Hopefully it's something simple for you. Sport mode on Damptronics on DFW roads can beat you up.

The module connection seems fine. Car is on OEM suspension. Yes- when it gets locked in sport it is no fun on streets. I guess I will have to pull the wheels and inspect the dampers. If that fails I guess I am headed to dealership.
