You may be used to dash lights that say
"Maint Required" or something similar which some manufacturers put on their cars to remind you of the factory service interval.
Porsche's CEL is different, it is triggered when something goes wrong and the "codes" people talk of are clues to what is wrong and how serious it is. They can range from "trivial" to "don't drive this or you risk blowing up your engine.
So the advice here to find out the problem that is causing the CEL is spot on. And you do that by getting the code read and then:
calling a Porsche dealer
or posting the codes here.
To get the codes read, borrow or buy a reader or see if one of the auto parts stores will read the codes for you. The code readers are simple plug in devices and the socket is the the left of the steering wheel.
Porsche CELs aren't things to be ignored until you know what caused them.
Have you priced a Porsche engine recently?
