@Mthokozisi The aerial is printed on the rear screen/hatch, along with the rear windscreen heater element. There is an aerial booster fitted inside the hatch which connects to the radio via the left-hand wiring harness which goes through the rubber boot near the hinge. The wires in the rubber boot often break, meaning the aerial gets disconnected from the radio. Check the left hand rubber boot for breaks in the wiring. Note the right hand side rubber boot also carries wiring, mainly for rear lights, wiper power etc and these can also fail.

Check behind the switch mounting spot for a wiring harness which could have been disconnected if the previous owner had problems so took it out and hotwired it. Remote, but possible. If there is a disconnected wiring plug, maybe a new switch could be all you need?

Pictures and price?

Found it. Attached. If you get to the point where the codes are displayed, post those codes here.DTC diagnostics codes - Outback.pdf

Code readers are available from around £20 or so. eBay has dozens. OBD2 reader is what to look for. Alternately there is a free programme - Freessm - downloadable to laptop, which gets connected to the car's OBD port via a cable, the type of which escapes me. Alternatively, your car should have an obd read option which displays the various fault codes on the dashboard. You get to this via a series of switches (headlights, trip meter) the sequence of which currently escape me. If I find it I'll send it. There are also small plug in readers which BT connect to a downloaded app on your phone. Lastly, most half-decent garage should have a code reader so you might want to ask if you have a friendly local guy.

Some sensor is reporting out-of-range readings. There will be a code - that needs reading. Only then will anyone be able to guide you to the cause.

mine's a wagon.

They are scarce. If you're ever near Chigwell you are welcome to see mine (for size, it's not for sale)!

No idea if other years have the same space, I can only comment on mine, which is a 2007 model. later cars (from 2009 onwards) are overall bigger but that is external dimensions. The load bay/sleeping space would need someone owning one of those to comment.

You can. Back seats down in my OB gets a nearly flat stretch of nearly 6ft.

Could be low power steering fluid amongst other possible causes including wheel alignment, low tyre pressure, failing steering rack/pump. Reservoir is likely to be on the right hand side (from the drivers perspective) of the engine bay.

Throttle position sensor. You have a drive-by-wire system which means the throttle is measured by electrical measurements of how far the accelerator pedal is depressed, thereby operating the engine speed electrically (used to be cable connecting the 2). It could have developed faults, meaning the pedal movement isn't being translated accurately. If it's the problem, replacement of the tps may be needed.

Maybe tps?

I'd expect it to be in the cubby, right hand side. Sure it's not there?

Which head unit is in there? 6 disc cd or dvd?

Too slow....ignore previous message....

No photo attached....?

Hi and welcome to the site. I don't know what sort of alarm your car has; mine has a Sigma M30 which has this process listed; The Sigma M30 alarm system has many more features than you may be aware of. The standard Subaru fitted system has the majority of these features switched off for simplicity and to conform to European legislation. Just to let you know what can be done…….. User Features The following features are switchable by the end user, using the keypad, and are detailed in the back of your operating instructions. To access this mode - turn on the vehicle ignition, press the remote button once, type one of the numbers listed in the chart below, immediately turn off the ignition. The numbers will have the following effect: Number Function 0 Last trigger isolation - allows the system to be set excluding any circuit giving a trigger signal at the end of the settle time (i.e. allows the system to be set with a defective bonnet switch, without “false alarming” until the switch can be replaced) 1 Turns off the bleeps only for the next time the system is armed (If bleeps turned on!) 2 Turn off ultrasonics only for the next time the system is armed (also possible by pressing the Remote Key with the ignition on before arming) 3 Puts the system into valet mode (effectively freezing the passive immobilisation and any other features such as auto arm when the vehicle goes in for service. System re-activated by arming with the remote key). 4 Turn on auto-lock (an anti-hijack feature that locks the doors and boot when the ignition is turned on) 5 Turn off auto-lock 6 Turn off bleeps every time system is armed or disarmed (Turned off at manufacture to comply with legislation) 7 Turn on bleeps every time system is armed or disarmed ( Note: This will contravene current legislation) 8 Displays vehicle’s battery voltage – 10 flashes on dashboard LED = approximately 10 volts 9 Turn on super-lock for next set period (allows the alarm to arm, but then shuts down the receiver. This reduces the systems current consumption if the vehicle is left for a number of weeks. The system then can only be disarmed using your PIN number , this gives protection even if your keys are stolen, whilst you are away on holiday. * Toggles between loud and soft arming/disarming bleeps if selected ( See above note in 7)

Sounds like it needs pairing with the car, do-able I think by Subaru dealers. It's probably a replacement set, not the original one. Welcome anyway.

That era Subaru diesels are prone to failure so I'd be very wary.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery, give it maybe 30 minutes for any residual current to dissipate then re-connect the battery? Should clear the MIL.

Photo would help identifying it but it does sound aftermarket.

I think it might be rear garnish panel or finisher panel.

Welcome!

Welcome folks!
