Brat EGR light?


 Share

Recommended Posts

It's me again... Glad to see the board is up and running again!

 

I have a1987 Brat, and at this time it is running well thanks to help from TheSubaruJunkie. However I have the EGR light on, and no codes in the ECU. Someone had said they thought that it was a milage trigger. Anyone know about this or how to reset it?

 

Thanks!

It's a 60k mile interval that triggers the light. You reset it by swapping some single-wire, two-pin connectors under the kick-panel. I believe two are green and one is blue. You disconnect the pair that are connected (whatever pair that is) and connect the other pair instead. So if you have green/green connected now with a lone blue, you disconnect the greens and plug whichever one fits into the blue. If it's already plugged into the blue you swap it back. It will then trip again in another 60k.

 

It's got nothing at all to do with the ECU. It's merely a maintenance reminder to remove, clean, and reinstall the EGR valve.
