Question

I have an MY01 and have just taken my De-cat exhaust off my car and replaced it with the standard one.

The light is still on, can I disconnect the battery, will this work?

If this does work has the standard stereo got a code?

Thanks

If the lights on surely its on because its telling you something's not right...If its still not right after the battery has been disconnected I'm kinda thinking that the lights gonna come back on.

I'd get it checked out if I were you m8..

I thought it came on when you fitted a de-cat down and center,not when you put the original back on

Try going for a drive see if it sorts its self out,they have been known to come on and go off on thier own.

I did have a decat exhaust on, thats why the light was on in the first place.

Now I have the original back on, and it is still on. It just needs re-setting. Just because I have put the standard pipe on, does not mean the light goes off.

Disconnecting battery does not work, can't find the wires on John's link.

Can tyres Northampton do this?

Thanks Steve. Don't think this works?

Can anyone help me here? Local Subaru Dealer asking for £25 !

If you know how do it, and are local there is a few pints in it for you.

Thanks
