Warning light came on last night, the book says it's the Malfunction indicator lamp (Check engine light) possibly a problem with the emission control system. Has anyone any idea what the problem might be? Cheers.

 

Had the same issue with mine.. kept coming on for about 10mins then suddenly just went, ive already had my lamba changed afew months back so going to get it diagnosed but its blooody frustraing!!

 

I'll get the garage to check it this week, hopefully not costing too much!

 

let us know what it it matie

 

When the CEL lights up a code is stored on the ECU. Subaru dealers read the code with their "select monitor" to diagnose the problem. Some dealers read the code for free and some charge (usually about 30 quid).

For the list of codes google "OBD II codes" .

Thanks, Shaun.

 

Problem solved, garage found it was temp. sensor playing up, probably a bit of coke or dirt.

 

Glad it's sorted Temp sensor is one of the cheaper subaru sensors Unlike the front lambda sensor or the ICVS LOL
