Mystery switch and engine symbol light on dash on STI 7
 

Hi,
I’m new to world of Scoobs and have a Jap STI 7, compete with Japanese manuals which I can’t read! There is a switch with a fan symbol and A/P on the centre console near the handbrake anybody know what it is for?
Also when I accelerate hard at 7-8k RPM the amber engine symbol on the dash flickers on and off, what does it mean?
Thanks,
Paul.

This is the ECU logging a fault, its letting you know its logging it as well, could be a number of things, drop it into the dealers and they will check it out.
Just had similar problem and its the gearbox sensor which loggs asa misfire for some reason??

Cheers
