I posted on here a few weeks ago about changing a speed sensor. I ordered the sensor and pciked it up tonight. Just to make sure I had the guy read my CEL code again, this time I wrote down the number and description.

 

From searching this site I am finding that P1507 means "Idle Control System Malfunction" however, mine read "Manufacture Control Speed Sensor" which is why I purchased the speed sensor. Before going through the work/money of replacing the speed sensor, I would like to make sure this is the problem. Why would my car not read the Idle control system thing, and if that is the problem, how do I go about fixing it?

 

I drive a 2001 Manual Transmission Outback. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can find the diagnostic procedure at http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/2000%2B_Legacy_FSM/

 

Yours is a 2001 but the diagnosis is the same , you can find the flow chart on pg188

Hope that helps
