Check Engine Warning Light
I have seen this lit up for a minute or so twice now but there is no power loss or other problems when on.
Any ideas what, if any, the problem might be and is it worth having it checked out by Subaru please?
Thanks.
Dave.

check the error codes yourself mate
ECU Reset and Error codes
Turn OFF the ignition
Connect Error code Connectors :
2 black connectors under dash, connect black to black, they are by your left knee when sat in the drivers seat and often taped back to the loom if they haven't been used before.
Turn ON ignition but don't start the engine
Check engine light error code is indicated by Pulsing lamp
If an error is detected then Check the ECU Code
An Error Code is indicated by a flashing check engine light
of varying length of flash,
a flash of around once a second is the okay code and indicates all is well.
If an error code is detected Check the ECU Code
Error Codes
An Error code is defined as a slow flash followed by fast flash
i.e 2 slow and 3 fast = 23 Mass Airflow sensor.
A continuous on/off at the same speed is no fault found.
Code Fault
11 Crankshaft position sensor
12 Starter switch
13 Camshaft position sensor
21 Engine coolant temperature sensor
22 Knock sensor
23 Mass air flow sensor
24 Idle air control solenoid
31 Throttle position sensor
32 Oxygen sensor
33 Vehicle speed sensor 2
35 Purge control solenoid valve
42 Idle switch
44 Wastegate control solenoid valve
45 Pressure sensor / Pressure exchange solenoid valve
51 Neutral position switch

Sorry I can't find 2 black connectors to join up.
I have found 1 spade connector on a black wire and some sort of small plug on another and some joined or taped wires too.
Would the required 2 black wires be different to this small collection?
Dave.

Pictures of the connectors are here they may very well wrapped up if they have never been used before.

Does the light flash or does it just come on constant? I had a similar problem on my bugeye. The light would flash for a min then go off. It was registering a misfire on 3 cylinders, and turned out to be the gearbox neitral sensor grrrr

The light does not flash, when it appears it stays on for about 1 minute, so far once a day.
Each time so far I have just been in 6th doing 50 or 60 mph.
No change in engine sound or power when on.

You need to connect the black connectors only to get the error codes up.

As I am not noticing a problem at the moment should I just ignore the light or get it checked out?
If so who by? Subaru garage nearby not far from Stratford or a specialist?
Any recommendations in Warwickshire?

I had fault code P0340 come up last night and called Subaru this morning, Completely unhelpful and just wanted me to book it in.
Can anyone tell me how to clear the code?
Engine light still on but my PSI3 ECU monitor shows the fault only as historic.
1st ever problem with my scoob, hope its nothing major ;(
