  1. transmission fluid was the first thing I checked with the engine running. It was normal, but I added a quart just in case there was some missing from the torque converter. No change. Today I realized the CHECK ENGINE light is on and the VDC light does not flash on for 6 seconds upon engine startup. I'm feeling it has something to do with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) is unhappy with a sensor signal it is receiving. How do I check the trouble codes without a Subaru Diagnostic computer? Where is the magic flashing LED and how do I activate it so I can decipher it?
  2. An ice induced rollover caused our 2003 Outback Wagon to land on the driver's side door (270) for about an hour before the wrecker flipped the rest of the way over (360) onto its wheels. The engine works fine but the automatic transmission seems to be stuck in neutral even though the shift lever can be moved through it's full motion. I let the transmission fluid settle for a week while waiting on the outside temperature to get above zero, but still no change in the drive engagement issue. Today I added another quart of trans fluid in case some leaked out of a breather port on top but still no engagement of the drive chain. Is there a rollover sensor that needs to be reset? Is there a separate fill port for the torque converter? Or if I'm way off, where else should I be looking? I'm stumped at this point.
