My understanding of the 981 battery is if you don't keep the car on a battery tender WHILE CHANGING THE BATTERY, it sets off CEL type issues that can only be corrected by a PIWIS. Would think the dealer doing the CPO would have checked for any codes, but glad to hear you're back in business. Hate how they make these new cars impossible for anyone but the dealer to work on.

I had a beautiful 2014 base Boxster in my Wheeler Dealer inventory a few mo ago and it was a fantastic car. I was surprised how much bigger on the outside it was vs my 987.1s. Parking in the garage took a lot more attention. Sold that car in 2 wks, a record for me.
