Hey guys,

How do i turn it off....

disconnect ur battery for 15 minutes =P if it comes on after that go to subaru and get ur fault codes checked =)

Engine light
 

Sweet...did what you said and its off....Dont know what it could have been..?

Any clues?

Well at least i creamed the xr6 turbo anyway!!!!

Mate when you hit that redline mine does it also....CEL comes on, Mine showed up as Cam angle sensor ? But he said theres not anything wrong it goes away after half a day or so haha. Sounds real dodgy...

Yhhh happens to mine too. Engine light turns on if you hit the red line, give it a day or half a day and it will go away. I went to SUBARU and told them the problem, they say its common.... -.-

yeah a friend gets the same issue, goes away after a while also

I have the same problem also. Mainly does it when down-shifting to overtake and the rev's approach red-line. There's one helluva jolt, engine light comes on and the cruise control light flashes, also disabling the cruise control function.
I've been told it's caused from the ECU detecting 'over-boost'?!?! and the only remedy is to disconnect the battery or pull out the ECU for a few seconds.
It's ok around around town but on a country run it really sh!ts me as it only does it when cruising above 130km/h*. Surely there's a fix for this?

*speeds above the posted legal limit were undertaken on privately owned sealed roads under controlled environments. :D

ECU reflash. (ie verso)

I have a Haltech Interceptor ECU installed.....could that be causing the problem??
