Power light

I've just put my car back on the road after a few months off and just done it's 90k service. The power light, just after starting the engine, stays on for a second or two and then flashes quickly 16 times......could someone please enlighten me to it's meaning.....does this mean 'trouble at mill'

, other than that the car seems to run ok.

It means that the transmission computer is getting an unexpected reading from one of it's sensors and it thinks you might have a problem.

Go to this website http://www.svx-iw.com click on "SVXipedia" and look for the section on how to check tranmission error codes to find out what it is complaining about.

If the car is driving OK then there probably isn't much wrong.

Thanks Phil,

I was just about to state 'look before you leap' as you replied

.....trawled through the site late last night and found a few relative post's..

I had the smallcar quick shift fitted and now removed, the only thing I've noticed is slightly hard shift under throttle.....what do I check for to test the resistor?

sorted.....I think, the resistor has no resistance, any pointers where to get a replacement....and not Subaru at £81.00

At a guess I would say you need something like this. Check with Trevor, he will know for sure.

Excellent Phil!, came accross the same on another web site but will print this off for ref, hope to get something today at my local C.E.F.

after spending a small fortune doing my 90k service, I was hoping my SVX would be running like a little sweetie and it was for a couple of weeks.....then this, if all goes well this will be my cheapest repair....at £1.77!

thanks for the conformation!
