  1. Ok got it, no easy fixes. I think it got some better from 3qt change so will do that a few more times. Plus it will be at the dealer in 2 days, I'll have em read the codes. Thank you.
  2. Nope, handshake sequence several times but, after the usual 16 flashes at key on, producing just a steady A/T Temp light, no codes.
  3. Ahh, makes sense about the FWD. I tried the handshake sequence but must have done it wrong so will try again. I have to go to the dealer because there is a Recall on the Throttle Body so if I dont get to it in a few days I will have them pull the codes. Bet it will be a 24.
  4. I have read probably 20 threads on this topic and I'm STILL not all there. SO HERE GOES: 1997 Legacy Outback A/T. I think it is an early one because my timing belt tentioner is the old 2-piece style. 200K miles 16 flashes of A/T temp light on start up, wheels binding, (front and rear), at slow speeds and Trans load up which releases at stop. I tried putting fuse in FWD - no light for FWD came on and still binding and still 16 flashes If I turn the wheel all the way, then put car in neutral and shut it off the bind releases and I can push the car with no binding I bought this car recently. Prev owner had a leaking rear tire for some time from wheel corrosion. Tires are now up to spec. Just topped off trans. fluid, it was down 2.5 quarts but no burn, (like new). I need to check it again though - it was really tough getting a good read from the dipstick My plan was to keep changing 3 quarts of trans fluid each week to see if that fixes things, sound reasonable? Thank you
