That is good information. Thank you. I was searching traction control problems because it seems to be a bit squirrelly when I do drive it. I replaced the struts a few months ago at a mechanics recommendation. It made no difference. Currently I have odd lights in my instrument cluster. Flashing cruise light, sport light, and the light that indicates what gear the (auto) trans is in changes position at stop lights occasionally.

they are the same model and size. They will be replaced ASAP. Thanks.

I am at 2/32 on one rear tire, and 4/32 on the other three.

I ended up buying a contained unit that should work with all of my vehicles. Too many bad reviews on the cheap units. It doesn't list Subaru in this ad, but other places say it will work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0176W045U/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

2005 outback 2.5xt Thanks for the suggestion, I will replace the fluids before taking it to the shop. Is there a elm327 that is better than the others? I looked online, and they range in price. Is it a "get what you pay for" situation? Also, compatible with iPhone?

I got the code at autozone a few months back. I can't remember what it was, but it translated to a general tcu code. I just wanted to check the connections before I put tires on and drop it at a shop.

1) I wasn't randomly unplugging wires. I was checking all of the connections from the wheels in, when I pulled my arm out after checking the connection behind the Wire harness connector, my watch caught it, and lifted it slightly. A large connection with a lever designed to make unplugging it easy should have a strong retainer. It looks like a previous owner may have snapped it off, it may have been too weak. I put a band of heat shrink around it to prevent future problems. 2) I am not driving on bald tires. This car has been parked for nearly two years, with the exception of driving it 6 miles to work every few months. I bought a lemon.

I just ran through the idle reset sequence, and all is well again. I did check all of the pins before reattaching it. Now to figure out why my tcu is throwing a code... could bald tires throw the thing off?

In an attempt to find any disconnected wires in my traction control system, I inadvertently flipped this grey switch. It shut down the car, and now it won't do more than idle. Is my screw up bad?
