andrewwalling Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 So for a while I have had a few issues with my car where the 4 light only was flashing normally when I started the car cold and after 10 mins and upto temperature it would go off Now I am getting the flashing D&4 lights and the tiptronic is not performing correctly If I put it on the Durametric software I get P0706 upshift/downshift switch if I clear the fault code tiptronic work fine no problems for the rest of the day next morning I then have the same problem First gear shift is a bit lumpy and not as smooth Any suggestions could it just be the Gear Selector Multi Plug Switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 P0706 Selector lever switch implausible Possible fault cause: - Fuse E1 is faulty - Short circuit to B+/ground or open circuit in wiring harness from the multi-function switch - Multi-function switch is faulty - Tiptronic control module is faulty Switch is a frequent root cause.

andrewwalling Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 just to check you suggest the multi plug switch on the side of the gear box https://www.design911shop.com/Gear-Selector-Multi-Plug-Switch-Porsche-986---987---987C---996/prod12433/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Correct , although don’t discount the other possible root causes. If it is the switch suggest get Porsche Centre pricing on it (cut out the middle people/reseller) and ask for discount.

911S Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I love those dam switches so much I’ve just replaced mine for the second time. But at least it had covered 4500 miles since first replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just replaced mine with the same issue. It can be the rod/plastic housing is just broken which is much cheaper to replace. Worth getting it checked first.

When I replaced my transmission mounts on my tip car I found that if you move the jack that you are using to support the gearbox up or down you should be able to find a position that allows removal of the old mount and bracket. I found that the transmission mount and bracket on the opposite side of the gearbox from the selector switch side was actually a lot more awkward to remove because of the oil cooler right beside it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
