Help checking Transmission codes
Ok, I must be slow or something, but I tried the following steps to check why my power light flashes 16 times and I cannot get the real code to flash. I drove my car like normal...got home and shut the car off. First a few questions from the instructions below from the svx-iw website:
When turning the ignition 'on'...am I starting the car or just making sure the dash lights up?? (I assume just lighting the dash so all indicator lamps illuminate) Next to step 5 below, with the car off, do I have to get my screwdriver to push in the shift lock mechanism to move into D? With the ignition off, there is no other way to shift into D right? and will the ignition turn on then? I think those were the problems I was having...but if someone has done this recently, could you list step by step what you did please? To perform the self diagnosis test for EXISTING problems: 1) Warm up engine by driving at speeds greater than 12mph. 2) Stop vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF. 3) Turn ignition switch ON and make sure POWER indicator lamp comes on. 4) Turn ignition switch OFF. 5) Move selector lever to D and turn manual switch ON. 6) Turn ignition switch ON. 7) Move selector lever to "3" and turn manual switch OFF. 8) Move selector level to "2" and turn manual switch ON. 9) Move selector lever to "1" and turn manual switch OFF. 10) Partially depress accelerator pedal (to turn idle switch off). 11) Check code as displayed on POWER light. Blinking once every 1/4sec is normal |

Don't touch the brake during this process. (you need to us the shift lock feature)

Ok, it did work this time...Thanks Earthworm!
I'm getting a code 11 it appears....bad resistor? Duty Sol. A....You think the small car shift kit has anything to do with it? Last edited by msvx95; 09-15-2006 at 04:36 AM. |

Hey what is the part number for the resistor..I was looking on Subaruparts.com and is it 22655AA021?? Just want to make sure and not order the wrong thing.
Also what is the part number for duty sol. A if anyone has that too? Thanks, |

Some earlier versions of the shift kit caused the code to be thrown.

I bought my shift kit about 1 year ago or a little over a year ago....You think it's a defective one also?? What's small car's policy about a bad part??

Here are a couple past threads that covered the shift kit problem. However, at 1 year old yours should be the newer version.

That is the correct part number.
Measure the ohms on your existing resistor. It should be around 10-12ohms.

I did cut the green w/yellow wire long ago.....
I will order a new tranny resistor anyways....and I'll check the ohms currently on the resistor. |
