Hello everyone I'm new here and I have a question regarding a 2003 legacy 2.5 sohc w/automatic trans. Car has 131,000 miles on it and just recently I replaced timing belt, water pump, head gaskets and tensioner and idlers. After startup the A/T temp light flashes non stop. Did the secret handshake and came up with 7 longer flashes and 9 quicker ones which you could say is either 79 or 16 which ever way you look at it. But it only flashes that way in that mode it stays flashing any other time. Car had no known issue until the engine was pulled to do the head gaskets. I just put a brand new from the dealer solenoid c in or tranfer duty solenoid whichever you want to call it. And the light is still flashing. I need help please any info would be great. I have checked and cleaned the grounds I can see.

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum and have a similar problem. My father in laws 2003 legacy 2.5 sohc w/automatic trans was just completely rebuilt by me with new water pump, timing belt all new tensioner and idlers along with new head gaskets. Question is there was absolutely nothing wrong with it before hand and after it was all put back together including a new trans and oil pans (he's weird like that) I started it and it had the infamous flashing A/T temp light. I did the secret handshake and it came up 7 longer flashes and 9 quicker ones which where I found a thread elsewhere said it was the transfer duty solenoid. Just got done replacing that and its still flashing. And it is a constant flash it never slows down it just stays on all the time. I need HELP please on where to even start looking. Thanks to any and everyone for their help
