You can purchase an OBDII code reader for under a $100 just about anywhere. I bought one at Walmart for about $75. It will read the code on a small display so you get some idea of why the CEL is tripping. The device also allows you to clear the code.

ummm, its going to keep turning on until you fix whatever the hell is making it turn on. Take Jaay and Steve00's advice & get it scanned by an ODBII scanner at autozone... its free. Write down the P-code or codes and bring them here and we can help yah out.

Figure out what it is before you reset it.

Them engineers at Porsche didn't engineer lights that turn on for no damn reason!
