Rear Spoiler

I have. 2001 996 C4. When I start the car the rear spoiler light comes on. As soon as I start to drive it goes out. It is difficult to believe this is normal. Any suggestions on how to correct it? Thank you for your time.

May be low on hydraulic fluid.

Thank you, I checked the fluid and it was over the hot mark on the stick. I corrected that. Checked the light on two different occasions, light still comes on at start, but goes off once the car starts to move.

That is normal. The light always comes on at start up but goes out as soon as you the and reach a certain mph. It is a system pre-check. If it comes while you are driving or reach 75 mph and the spoiler does not deploy then you have an issue that needs to checked out. It is in the owners manual if you have one.
