So started the, car pull in to the garage to change TC oil
put on parking brake shift to park

oil pressure monitoring failure pops up
then I shut off car,
move to shift lever to P or N pops up and I can't pull key

Car won't start now
I can pull the key if I push the button next to the ignition

dash lights indicate the shifter is in park, I can move freely to PRND with the brake depressed

any help
only had this car for a few weeks and I am not enjoying

Does the shifter goes back and forth with the normal force or it become harder/lighter?

White Fish

seems perfectly normal

Need to connect the diagnostics and check the live data - what it says about the position of the shifter lever and the position of the transmission gear.

I will have to borrow a Launch x431 tomorrow

Does the car crank? Which means,do you hear the engine making noise and spinning but won't fire? Or the car doesn't even crank? Big difference!!
If it doesn't even crank,with an oil pressure failure,I'm really hoping it's not what I'm thinking : which is that the engine is locked up. Hopefully not the case...

White Fish

no it doesn't crank

my thought is some kind of neutral safety switch
even with the lever in park or neutral and the dash saying its in park or neutral something else thinks it not

HETPE3B

If you can't remove the keys from the ignition - it means car doesn't know the gearbox is in P. That's the reason it doesn't crank. There may be other reasons for the low oil pressure warning, but they should be addressed after the car will be able to crank.

both came up same time, Very strange

(Update) I got the car started, i will try and condensed the story a bit

just got this car a few weeks ago, trying to sort out some electrical gremlins also thinking this front bumper looks like GTS or Turbo not S (yep that my problem)

blew BMS fuse but was only15amp when I put on park break, I guess BMS triggers a lot of stuff like oil pressure monitoring failure and neutral safety switch
replaced with a 30amp started fine but Pass headlight was on then driverside DRL was lite White and amber

pulled the front bumper off and found a bunch of burnt wires and a hack job connecting the newer GTS/Turbo bumper the the 2011 wiring harness

Bumper wires to DS DRL

11 Harness hack

11 harness to DRL

harness part number burnt up has wrong connector for garage door opener


I am a little in over my head with this wiring stuff but I will be looking for some wiring diagrams and the correct way to wire a GTS/ Turbo bumper to a 2011 Cayenne S(with halogen headlight)
Fingers crossed the BMS is still ok
