Power light flashing
Ok, just had engine and tranny from 96 Lsi swapped into 94 Lsi. I havent test driven the car, as it is not registered, but the shop that did the work did. I noticed when I start the car, the green power light flashes like 16 or 17 times. Any idea what it could be, and is it ok to drive it. I dont believe the mechanic who did the swap did any figure 8's with it, but this tranny had no issues when it was in my 96. Codes, suggestions.
Thanks.

17 shows Injector #4 has a problem, but.... Clear the codes, and check it again. Disconnect the negative battery cable {I get tired of reading that one}. Ahh, now turn on the ignition to full, and hit the lights. It only takes a few seconds to strip the residual energy in the entire car. Now the car has to run for a bit, to re-establish the codes, if there are any. Back to the battery, to reconnect. You may find that there are none. That would be nice. Here is the link to the page where that document resides. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?How-To|14264 I get to tag you for this ---> Use the SEARCH button. Nice tag tho, not meant to be hurtful.

Re: Power light flashing
Scratch the last post. I don't think ShiuludeSVX read the whole post. 1. It is engine codes for the link and 2. The flashing is simply telling you that there is an active tranny code (or at the very least it needs reset) with the transmission.
What you need to do (and I wouldn't drive it until you do) is go to Earthworms database where the proceedure for checking codes can be found. It is in his sig on a post by him. Follow it and then see what the code is. It is a PITA but not real hard. Just a lot of steps. Then see what the codes are in there. After you know what the codes are, disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes to reset 'em then see if it comes back. You will need to drive it otherwise the code won't come back until you do. At start up after disconnecting the battery it should be a solid power light. Me seem to think you might have an issue with a possible obd-2 tranny in a non obd-2 car. Might want to do a search on the board to see if there is an issue and or a fix for that.

Re: Power light flashing
Yes it is showing a transmission code, see what it is first. There is no need to disconnect the battery to clear the transmission code as you will lose all the other Presets. Just pull the No.11 fuse under the dash for 1 minuet. It is marked AT.
There should be no difference between the two model transmissions, to cause a code. Harvey.
