Electrical problem on Subaru Legacy '93

Featured Replies

Dear Subaru fans!

Today, as I was entering into my parking, the check-engine light came-up, as well as the battery symbol, on the panel.

I noticed, my running lights are not working as well.

I need HELPPPP

Can someone tell me what is the possibile problem?

My car is Subaru Legacy '93 with 128.000 km

THANKS

Alvarezi

To check the codes there should be some black connectors near the ECU. Connect them together and and turn the the ignition to ON. Then count the flashes. Long lashes are tens units and short ones are single units. Two long and three short flashes would be 23.

 

The battery warning light tells you that the charging system needs to be looked at. Something isn't right. It could be a loose fanbelt, a bad alternator, or connections to it are causing this.

 

For the lights, check to make sure the switch on top of the steering column is in the correct position, OFF. If that doesn't help then you may need to check the wiring. See if the switch on top of the column will turn the lights on.
