February 17, 200521 yr Someone remind what the little green "Power" light beneath the tacometer and spedometer means when it's lit. Is this auto? I think autos have power/econ switch on them?? Not possitive since I have never owned an auto.
February 17, 200521 yr Author This is in an auto. However, I don't believe there is a switch for this. The switch on the gear selector is for the "manual" which I think just moves the shifting points in case you're towing or something. The green "power" light I think comes on if you floor the engine or such. But I don't know what it is trying to tell me when it is lit. Hopefully someone on the board can clear this up. Anyone?
February 17, 200521 yr i have just been doing research on these auto trannies as im in the middle of a swap/upgrade ,from what ive found from a factory service manual the power indicator does just what you say when you floor it it changes the shift rate and the rpms at which it shifts into each gear. the light is just telling you it has change into this different program shift mode .once you let off the accelerator it switches back to normal mode . the manual button as per the factory manual "used to maintain the transmission in select range 2nd,3rd when going up or down steep hills,running on sand ,mud or slippery surface" took me reading the entire manual to find that out . i was hoping it would provide locked full time 4wd but i appears it doesnt ,just start you out in 2nd gear (limiting wheel slip) and then only allowing 3rd gear with no 4th or torque converter lock-up. the other thing the power button does is flash problem codes for trans ECU if it has sensed a problem and set a trouble code. hope this helps
February 17, 200521 yr yeah, the manual button only works in 2 and 3. In 2, the car will start in 2 and stay in two (until redline), and in 3 it will start in 2 and then almost immediately shift to 3, and stay in three unless you're stopped or almost stopped.
June 16, 200718 yr ok my 93 leg..."the H2" when i start it up the "normal" green light flashes for about 8 sec.....now the manual that came with the wagon says: if the light flashes for about 8 sec or more after the ignition swiitch has been turned on when starting this may indicate a prob with the auto trans control system ? somebody tell me what that is? could it be a fuse? i have no idea.... spark

When also comes on during WOT running. http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/subaru.html

June 16, 200718 yr When it comes on when your holding it floored it's only telling you it will hold the lower gears higher into the engine's RPM range. This gives better acceleration. Nothing more than that.

June 16, 200718 yr the prob is that its blinking ...the manual says there's something hey-wire ill tell you what if you don't notice a problem, you will probably just need to unplug the battery for 45+ mins and it will stop. And/or need a transmission fluid change.
June 16, 200718 yr ill tell you what if you don't notice a problem, you will probably just need to unplug the battery for 45+ mins and it will stop. And/or need a transmission fluid change. just changed the tranny fluid last month...i'll do the battery thanks
June 18, 200718 yr check the codes before you do the battery. www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/trans.html
