you need a scanner to scan your cars computer to see what is causing it to happen
With the proper scan tool.
Not necessarily.
I want to check the level of atf temp in my subaru forester 2010. On checking the transmission fluid level, after the car was driven about 10 km and was put in each gear and setting the select level in the "p", do i have to turn off the engine or idle the engine before i check the atf level?
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
For a 2012 Subaru Forester, it is recommended to use synthetic oil with a viscosity of 5W-30. Subaru also allows the use of conventional oil, but synthetic is preferred for better engine performance and protection. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and service intervals.
The block heater on a 2001 Subaru Forester is typically located on the engine block, near the oil pan or the front of the engine. It is usually a cord that extends out from the engine, allowing for easy access to plug it into an electrical outlet. If you have trouble locating it, you can check the owner’s manual or look for a cord with a standard plug near the front of the vehicle.
I had the same problem on a '99 Forester. It was cured by altering the code number on the alarm system. Check the booklet that came with the vehicle for details.
For a 2001 Subaru Forester, the recommended oil grade is 5W-30. This viscosity provides optimal performance in various temperatures, ensuring proper engine lubrication. Always check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations or requirements based on your driving conditions.
The first thing to do is check all your fuses.
you could check on eBay first, but your best bet is a subaru dealer
My heater doesn't go cold. But to answer your question, check the engine coolant level in the radiator. Be sure that the engine is cold before removing the radiator cap. --Ken
You have a problem with the engine controls, have the codes read at the dealer or an auto parts store and make the necessary repairs and the light will go out, or it can be reset by the tech.
