phoenixeve Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi all, long time follower first time poster so here we go; Drove to the gas station and went inside. After coming back out got in the car and tried to start it. Starter kicked in for 1/4 second or so then nothing. ER HC came a crossed the trip display, temp gauge showed HOT and nothing from the starter afterwards. Popped hood and checked radiator and it was ice cold (about a 2 minute drive to the gas station) No check engine light. Tried to pull key codes and no DTC's stored in the ECU. Disconnected battery and reconnected and same thing. Had a friend tow it to my house for the night and disconnected the battery overnight. Reconnected this morning and same things. Pulled the BIU plug apart and nothing. Disconnected the ecu and reconnected and nothing. Put a jump start on the car and nothing. Tighted up all grounds under the hood and nothing. Manually jumped the starter just to see if it was crank; it has plenty of power, my screw driver told me so ... Nothing. Im now going on 24hrs of near continuous work and....... nothing. I'm literally at the end of my rope and the nearest Subaru dealership is 60 miles south of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentRedneck Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 "ErHC in the trip odometer indicates a failure in the car's high speed CAN (computer-to-computer) digital communications system. The high speed CAN involves engine and transmission controls as well as saftey and emissions-related signaling." somethings broke.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixeve Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I did locate that thread but it seems like the issue was never resolved. I had done everything that I could think to do and had to have it towed to our closest dealer (60 miles south). So far they have no communications with the ecu. They are checking relays.

phoenixeve Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 $684.00 later the car is back. They replaced the SBF #7 fuse 2x the starter fuse 1x and cut, resoldered, heatshrink and rewrapped 3 wires under the intake manifold that had rubbed on the block on the passenger side. Parts cost... $33.00 Shop fee... $15.00 Obtaining my imobilizer code... $5.00 New Intake manifold gasket $8.88 Labor... $$$.$$ If this information had been posted on the internet anywhere it could have saved me some major hassle so I'm going to pay it forward so if it does pop up again maybe someone will not have to go down the same road I did.
