Gr8subi Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Short of having a friend with a scan tool is there anyway for me to get the codes at home? Some Macgyver trick perhaps? I've read (while searching other posts for info) that Autozone does this for free? My check engine light just came on in my 97 Outback. If I have to take it in does anyone know of a good place to go around the Lynnwood/ Bothell/ Mill Creek/ or North Seattle Area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Autozone can pull the codes. And no there is no other way to get them except with the scan tool. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8subi Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thanks, I stopped in at Autozone and they found it was the EGR valve. My jaw dropped when he said it would be $170.00 I'll pull it off and clean it first and see where that gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWalker Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Next time you have a parts salesman pull your codes, get the actual code number from them. It will be a P0..., or P1... code. EGR valves rarely fail on Subarus. But I'm sure Auto Zone would love to sell you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
