morning all, just got my car back from service CHECK ENGINE light was and still is flashing.. but they have not been able to find problem . it has been suggested it could be a need for 'Knock sensor or Oxy sensor . has anyone had similar problems ?

where did you get it back from? and did you get charged ? if theyre a dealer you need to give them a rev about it, they have the equipment to check the codes, if the light is on there will be a code stored in the ecu

regards cam

As they have checked the codes, they should be able to say what is producing that code. Maybe Knock sensor or O2 sensor is a bit vague.
It is probably a O2 sensor. What model is it obd1 or obd2?

Harvey, how you doing ?
you were my saviour a few years back when I was in Qld. with the aircon problem.
these are the parts they suggested it may be .
knock sensor 22060aa031
or
oxy sensor 22690aa180
buy they are not sure. there are less svx's in Melbourne so harder to find someone who knows them .

Giday Joann, yes I remember.
There are two of each O2 sensors and Knock sensors, one for each bank. I think you should pull the codes yourself to see which sensor is the problem.
You can find how to do it here,http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/How-To/14337.doc
and here

It's not hard to do, just look behind the right hand side kick panel, it will just pull off.
