crowheart Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) My wifes car just had the AT engine oil temp light start flashing. The check engine light has come on as well. Not sure what is going on here. I am not mechanically knowledgeable on this subject. Another problem that turned up is the heater only blows hot air when it is on the highest setting which is 4. I also have a 1996 Subaru legacy wagon and I am ready to replace it(2,220 dollars in repairs since October). I want to buy another Subaru, but I have heard there are some problems with the 2.5 engine. Are there any years I should avoid? I am looking for a 2006 through 2008 model probably a Forester. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated. thanks... Edited March 15, 2009 by crowheart error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowheart Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I found out that the TCM code is 76. 2-4 brake duty solenoid. What does this mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowheart Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks for the reply. Hopefully that is correct. I would never buy another Subaru if that problem hasn't been corrected. 2006 and up how do we know? what about the TCM code 76 2-4 Brake duty solenoid detects open or shorted signal circuit ? Any help there?..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
