It can mean a whole slew of things. If it's blinking, definitely do not drive the car anymore (as this is an indication of something majorly wrong). If you know anyone with an OBD-II reader they can pull the fault code for you and then you can just ask around here or search around for Porsche OBD fault codes to see exactly what the problem is. Or, I've heard that places like Jiffy Lube or Autozone will read the fault code for you. Either way, the manual won't tell you what's wrong because the CEL can be lit for tons of reasons. Good luck!

The readers at the Jiffy Lube will likely be useless. I would get to the dealer or Porsche mechanic who has the real deal. No good driving this puppy with the light on, not worth the risk.

Nothing in the owners manual will help you here.

Sorry but that is the skinny!
