Take it to an Autozone. They'll read and clear the code for free. Then, when you know what the problem is, you can decide whether it warrants a trip to the dealer. $60-$80/hr is the Subaru rate around here, though I find it tough to believe they'd charge you an entire our to spend 5 minutes pulling a code.
