Anyone ever get a engine control fault. 2017 Cayman S, 8400 miles.

Very weird.

A warning on the dash? Could you still drive the car or did it go away after turning it off and on?

I've never heard of this before.

I've had one a couple of times - I think when I first ran the car after winter storage, and once or twice after extremely thorough washing and drying. I'm struggling to remember, but I think I got multiple warnings, and they all cleared after shutting off and re-starting - except the Engine Control Fault coming out of storage. That was there for the dealer to see, and it turned out to have been a misfire in one cylinder.

Update: thanks for the response, it was an O2 sensor. They rebooted the computer and all is “good”

Yup, and while coasting up to stop lights. About 5 times in the 6 weeks I've owned my cpo'ed 2017. Just brought in the car two days ago, and they resolved by a software update to the dme. Picking back up today.

I received "Engine Control Fault" message about ten days ago, and the light remained on since. Drives similar when not pressed hard, but absolutely no Turbo boost pressure when pushed.

Made appointment for next week. Will see if just need rebooting, or a faulty O2 sensor, and hope not turbo failure that some others had seen in wetter climate.

Sad to report that the cause of my Turbo loss and check engine light is due to damage to wires. By rodent! $1000 work needed and then will see if anything else malfunctioning.

Oh, no! Really sorry to hear!
