2009 Subaru Outback - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

there is not one, only fords had them.

check for spark and fuel. if you don`t have spark you will have to check for why. are there any codes in the PCM that can help. has the timing belt broken. if you have no fuel it could be a bad fuel pump or relay or wiring problem to the fuel pump.

If the car won't shift into gear, the smell of rubber is probably the clutch pressure plate slipping on the flywheel instead of engaging it. This indicates the need for a clutch repair. Could be a worn clutch pressure plate and/or a worn throwout bearing/fork. This is a job which can be done by a home mechanic, but if you don't have tools, floor jacks/stands, take the car to a mechanic.

Then order the fender from your dealership.

Hello, to my knowledge there is no way to do this adjustment manually. You must hook up the Subaru scan tool and adjust the sensitivity that way. If the dealer has already calibrated it once they may have just not desensitized it enough or the sensor is faulty and is not accepting the recalibration protocol and is biased to full sensitivity. In this case the sun-load sensor must be replaced. I hope this info helps...(subytech1)...

No, but the alarm may go off, simply have key close by to press the lock / unlock buttons to turn it off.

Take one of the battery leads off for about 5 mins.
That will reset the computer. That mite help.

you will not hert it if you jump start it . i done many of them to 09 and newer car and truck.

You have Parasitic Draw. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29903527-parasitic_draw_car_batteries ..

I fixed one of these recently in a 2003 Outback. The brake light pedal switch feeds the circuit that releases the shift lever lock when it's in Park. (This is why you need to press the brake pedal to shift out of Park.) If the fuse to this circuit is blown, the shift level lock will not release. I traced the issue to the trailer light conversion box (factory/dealer installed, I think). This car has a clear plastic plug that the trailer light conversion box plugs into and the clear plastic plug appears to be a factory-installed part of the wiring harness, accessed on the passenger side of the car, just above the spare tire compartment behind the rear quarter interior panel (you don't need to remove the interior panel to access, just all of the spare tire compartment foam pieces). I've seen these conversion boxes fail before or the wires become shorted somewhere between this internal connection and the trailer pig tail connection end. I unplugged the box from the car's wiring harness at the clear plastic plug mentioned above and the fuse stopped blowing, the brake lights starting working again as well as the turn signal lights and the shift lever unlocked by pressing the brake pedal. This car doesn't tow so it wasn't a problem but you might need to investigate further or replace the conversion box if you need the tow lights connection to operate still.

Most vehicle makers tend to use the same system. The seats are mounted on a pair of slide rails. These are held down by 2 bolts on each rail, one at each end, (one front end and one at the rear end). These bolts are usually covered by a small plastic trim cover that either slides off or unclips to reveal the bolt heads. *** Note * The seats will be heavy so be careful lifting them out.*** It is easiest to unbolt either both rear bolts or both front bolts at the same time as you will probably need to slide the seat for access. I find doing the rear bolts first then the front pair is the easiest method for easier access. There will also be some electrical connectors under the seat for the sensors to be disconnected. Refitting is just as straight forward.

Some fixya user told me a website reliable-store it is very good.. I used it to repair my shredder it had some spark issue which wasn't easily fixed. you can go there and try

Hi there's this website something like reliable-store and it is very amazing for manual for repairing servicing anything someone on fixya recommended it to me and I thank him even today They have full manuals and it's verrrrry cheap and mine I got free in offers 3rd time I bought it, I also had an issue with the file so the girl replaced it in 30 mins there is one website more but i don't remember its name it was 2 years back bitman something link this Try these out brother

You will need to have a mechanic with a good scanner interface with your car to retrieve and clear the code. Unlike check engine soft faults, the light cannot be cleared unless the active fault code setting condition is repaired. Some are only in the seat and shoulder belt latches and tensioners, but some are more difficult, like the clockspring in the steering column.

You need to remove the seat bottom first to access the lower attaching points.

Have you replaced the bulbs? I realize it's unlikely they'd fail @ the same time, but check the Owner's Manual. as they may be connected. I know that the 2005 model had an issue where it would blow/burn-out the headlight bulbs much sooner than it should. Google that issue, too.

I'd bet that one of the electrical connections is not back on fully. A video below (First few seconds) shows how to look a this. minimal tools needed. How To Install Replace Master Power Window Switch Subaru Outback 00 04...

Make sure the front wheel speed sensors are both plugged in and working correctly. Have the system scanned to find out what the computer is seeing as the fault?

At this website www.reliable-store.com I found all complete guide,much better language, complete detail in 800+ pages, ..and they also have live chat for instant help feature
