jjtjp Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sorry if this is wrong section, but could anybody offer me their assistance? Skip the following if you don't want background info: I purchased an 05 LGT wagon recently and have had a intermittent check engine light as well as some other gremlins such as being able to start my car in any gear. I thought maybe bad signal from inhibitor switch so I followed wires and cleaned connectors. In doing this I discovered that my ecu was not original (it said "Subaru Parts car" on back of it. I starting thinking for some reason, what if it has the wrong ecu/map on it from a manual and this is causing my issues. So I bought a vag-com and got it working today and this is what I found out: Romraider says my CAL ID is A2WC510N and my ECU ID is 2F12785206. According to Romraider that is from an 05 LGT MT. My question is this. Can I flash an Auto map (my car is stock except for mufflers) from that page, and if so, which of the three do I flash? Thanks sooo much to anyone who can offer some help.

jjtjp Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I wanted to add: I read the AT/MT identifier pin thread and I don't quite understand what that means in my case. Is the signal something that comes from the ECU itself or it's harness. I have the 5eat harness, obviously. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
700watts Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I can't help you there, but I'm kinda curious my self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateAndDestroy Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The check engine light is related to having the manual trans map on your car, it is probably a neutral safety switch error. Did you have the code read? Once you switch back to an auto trans. map, this will go away. Fyi, I'm running a manual trans map on my Auto Forester, and got this check engine light.

Drift Motion Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 this is probably not helpful, but I converted my last car from AT to MT, and left the ECU, didn't need to press the clutch to start the car, and supposedly took off the governor at 115mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjtjp Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yea, it is p0852. Neutral input circuit high. I tried flashing the highest version number for a Automatic, but I was having problems. Romraider works great, but I can't get ecuflash to connect. with neither the newest version nor 1.29. Any tips? I've tried every variation of green and white connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just figure out which connector that is the neutral switch and try to do something intelligent with it. Read This: http://www.bedug.com/pics/Subaru/2005.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjtjp Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 UPDATE: In case anyone searches and/or cares.... I finally got rid of my EcuTek lock on my ecu by marrying then un-marrying an accessport. Then I flashed a stock Auto Trans map for my car and all is well. Same ecu. So at least going from manual to auto, no change other than map needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thanks for the update. This will be good news for people who want to swap transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
