Had the Check engine light come on for a minute of so yesterday. The car had just been filled with Shell unleaded, which I don’t normally use. There was no difference in the way the car performed and I haven’t seen the light come on again.
Searched the threads on here and have checked the error code via the black plugs and warning light “morse code” – it shows error code 22 – Knock sensor.

I’m on my way to the dealers anyway in the next hour or so to book a service so a very quick question :
Do you think the sensor is faulty or was it just adjusting to my poor choice of petrol and Is the knock sensor covered under Subaru warranty? (I have a MY00 car with an extended Subaru warranty)

In anticipation of your responses – thanks.
I like to have the answers before I go to the dealers !!!!

 

This can happen after filling up (according to my local dealer)

I phoned recently when mine just flashed on briefly and their first question was..... "have you just filled up with fuel as it's common for this to happen after a fill up...don't worry about it unless it happens again"

Who knows

Still worth getting it checked out

Thanks SiPie !

I’ll check it out with dealer – just good to hear that someone else has had it !!

 

Saw the dealer today and they will check it at the service next week.
I assume the knock sensor is covered under Subaru warranty, Anyone know for sure?
