When winter comes, numerous Porsche 991, 981 and 982 models develop a common issue: the PADM warning light lights up every time after cold start and turns off after the engine warms up. This problem recurs every winter and cannot be eradicated thoroughly.



The adhesive and electronic components of original sensors have poor low-temperature resistance. They harden and contract in cold weather, causing unstable chip contact and abnormal signal transmission, which triggers dedicated cold-start protection alerts. This is a material defect of factory parts.



The Lumistag upgraded PADM sensor is equipped with military-grade low-temperature resistant electronic components and a mechanical locking structure. It will not contract or get loose in cold conditions, with parameters remaining unchanged. The sensor maintains stable signals even after cold start at sub-zero temperatures, permanently solving winter cold-start faults and ensuring consistent performance all year round for Porsche.
