Hi

This happened to me about a year ago,

ABS and PSM both had the same symptoms, after about a month the lights stayed on permanently. Turned out the ABS module just failed ??XX?? They say this is very rare.

Porsche quotes something like over 2000€ to replace the part, I ended up buying one on ebay from a wreck (lots available, but you need the correct part number, there are a few), It was under 150€ and the stealership charged about 100€(1hour work) to replace it.

All was then good, no problems since.

Cheers, steven.
