I don't know where you are, but there are many options - hit up Gruppe-s and they'll pull the code and tell you what it means.

if you are towards Livermore I can pull/clear the code as well. I can use the OBDII software or my Access Port. :)

Cheers

Not sure where you're located either but if you're in the SSF,San Bruno, Millbrae area I'd be glad to pull it for you.

Autozone still had it went down there and used it.. I pulled a mis-fire on plugs 1 and 3... What causes this it was upon start up that it popped.. I scheduled an appt with the dealer to get this checked and do the seat recall bs.. I reset it and all is well..

I work at autozone we still provide it at a fee.. but if you see me there i'll take it outside and do it for free. Come on in

Most of the time its the 02 sensor that cause the check engine light to come on but it could be a variety of things like crank positioning sensor or even your muffler bearings :)

Just bought a used 03 WRX sedan yesterday with about 99XX miles on it. It has an aftermarket cat-back exhaust. So last night I was driving home from work, and my check engine light comes on. The car is bone stock except for the exhaust. Wondering if anyone can help me pull a code? I'm in Hayward, CA. If so, I would greatly appreciate it...=)

Appreciate you offering to help, unfortunately I have class tomorrow, I do have a break from 12pm-5pm (evening class starts at 5pm in San Jose). I scheduled an appointment with the dealer I bought the car from for Wednesday. If they are not able to help me with the check engine code, I'll definitely contact you. Thanks for your concern.
