Never got the check engine code on my 08 but, according to the Great Oracle Google,  this appears a somewhat common issue from 02  to 2013

 

Oct 6 Japan's Fuji Heavy Industries said on Thursday it was recalling about 100,000 of its Subaru-branded vehicles in Japan to fix a problem with an air pump switch located in the main fuse box.

 

The recall covers models including the Legacy and Imprezza, along with XC and Forrester crossover SUVs produced in 2006-2013.

The Japanese automaker said it was also planning to recall models overseas, but declined to give further details.

For the secondary air pump, perhaps?

are you  freakin'  kidding me?

 

a SWITCH went bad and they recall the cars?  HAHAHAHAHAHA*cough*HAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

my secondary air VALVES (not switch) have been frozen shut for 6 years I think now. crazy, I had to kill-off 14 DTCs with ecuflash.

 

i DID keep my original ROM image, but, even if they replace the valves, what if they just freeze shut again in 4 years?

 

 

got a link to info?
