farmer Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I've seen this topic in a number of places and the culprit is often given as off size or mismatched tires. I'm wanting to add another Subie to our "stable" and have an '07 legacy automatic in mind. It is low mileage with new tires, but a flashing AWD light. When you drive it you can feel the out of sync torquing. It's fairly subtle, but still there. My question is what might be involved with fixing this thing or would it be better to stay away from it? Also is there a code planted by the Flashing AWD light? Apparently nothing OBDII which I scanned for. Appreciate the help as always.

johnceggleston Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 i don't have any experience with an 07. is it really a flashinf AWD light or is it a AT Temp light. 95 - 03/4 it was an AT Temp light. there should be a code, if it is electrical / trans in nature. in the 95 - 04 years you could read the code by grounding out a pin on the 6 pin test connector under the dash. not sure about 07, probably. there is lots of info on how to do this, and a pic or two, do a search here and read up. try ''how to read transcodes'' it could be a duty solenoid, but the code will tell you. in the 90s it could also be caused by dirty trans fluid. but i would read the code before i did any thing else.

farmer Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) This definitely an AWD, John. I have had the oil temp light flash for even the MAP sensor on my 2000 Outback. Edited September 4, 2014 by farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
