Unhappy Help

Hey guys..

I have a 2008 997 Turbo, and today as i was ready to head out, i put the key into the ignition and the car doesnt turn on, and i got this error: ABS Failure, PSM Failure, and the clock turns to 12:00 (time was 9:30)

Can it be my battery is down? Because i took my car 2 weeks ago for the guarantee check and everything was good.

Any help would be appreciated

(will be taking the car to the dealer after the weekend)

Try charging up the batt if you have a trickle charger or getting a jump.

When i called Porsche Road Assistance, he told me it is not the battery because if it was the battery it would give me an error saying Battery Low.. which it did not

anyone faced such an issue before?

Try disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes and then reconnecting.

Did the same issue happen to you?
Putting it on a charger resolved the issue?
