Well, I've been letting my brother from new york use my car. And he said the check engine light came on and the cruise control is just flashing. I took a look at it and i couldn't get the cruise control to turn on/off. The light is still flashing (cruise control) and the check engine light is on. Anyone got any ideas on what could be wrong so I can fix it?

 

Do you have a DP in your car? If you do, you will need to reset the ECU (pull the power) if you don't have engine managment to defeat the cat-inefficiency error.

 

what kind of mods you have?



aloha from the summit of *-^-Mauna Kea-^-*

 

Muay Thai kick the buttons... j/p

Yeah, do you have a turbo back?

 

sorry guys, i should have posted this along with the original:
Borla Hush Catback
Perrin DP
Vishnu Xede piggy back

So first thing I should try is disconnect/reconnect the battery?

 

Aftermarket DP... yup... that's why. Try disconnect/reconnect. It should remove it for a little while... does ur XEDE has some sort of CEL defeats?

 

CEL (Check Engine Light) periodically running what you have (Down-Pipe)...we all do...I have the PDE downpipe as does GDogg...it has a modified 02 bung that helps you not get as many CEL's...but it still does...there are mechanical fixes that you can do to simulate this 02 bung...The fix basically pulls the 02 sensor farther away from the direct path of exhaust stream...

I also have the Cobb AP that I use to supposedly eliminate this condition. I still throw CEL's once in a while but because of the AP, it is easily reset...

 

^^^ Really... mine never come up after the reflash until one day someone forgot to tighten my bov bolts...

I should've check anyways...

 

mhmm...I get a CEL maybe once every few months...don't know what causes it really...one time, it was like a little backfire...

 

hey brent i have a small backfire from time to time..hehe.

 

Yes, it will work for now, but the cell will come back usually when you drive on freeway on 6th gear... You will need to get a cell fix either mechanical or electronic.

 

alright, thanks guys. Ill try that as soon as I get my subie back. But as for the flashing cruise control? whats up with that? or is that related the CEL and will go away when I disconnect/reconnect the battery?

 

Yes it will go away, i am experiencing the same situation, reset my ECU, but cell came back as soon as I hit 6th gear on freeway... dam, I need to put my CELL Fix soon...

 

I have no idea what map(s) are on my xede. It came with the car. Is there is anyplace in town that can check if it does? And just another question, I read up on the xede chip and it seems like I have to send it in to have it flashed with a list of all my mods, or can that be done locally with a laptop providing it has the xede map2 program installed? Thanks in advance.

I think you should talk to JT-STi2 caz he's using XEDE also... I think he does his own tuning. Maybe he can help you out. I read on their website, you can only reflash like 1200 times.
