Good idea, the battery is still under warranty from AAA, so that should be a free and painless swap. I do like my code reader, a Actron CP9135. It recognizes the Make/Model on the device, has a text description of the error, and a cd database lookup.

Hi everyone, thank you for the warm welcome and helpful suggestions. The alternator was only reading at 10.5v. The battery would not hold a charge from an external charger. I put in a new alternator today. Same experience with the new alternator, 10.5v reading at the battery. I'm pulling my OBD code description from the reader itself, it provides the text description "Manufacturer Controlled Fuel Air Metering." I checked the end caps, connectors, and belts and everything seems properly in place. Best, Frank

Great suggestion, I will get it fully charged tomorrow and repost results.

1997 Legacy 4wd Wagon, 116k miles, poorly maintained, no major mechanical work, one month old battery. My subaru's electricity cut out yesterday for the first time with and ODB II code of P1103 "Manufacturer controlled fuel air mixture". The sequence was: While driving: - Auto windows stopped responding - Radio cut out - Lights faded - Sounds of power cycling and sputtering While idle at a stop: - Engine sputtered and stopped Had it jumped twice, it failed both times when disconnected from the jumper battery. Second time ran it connected to the battery and engine rev'ing for 15 minutes. Second time if failed 2 minutes later while driving downhill and applying gas. Thanks everyone in advance, Frank
