#2041 of 2084 VDC and ABS lights simultaneously by swbo101 Jun 05, 2006 (6:37 pm)
Hi again. 2001 H6 VDC. This intermittent problem of having both ABS and VDC lights come on simultaneously is more and more frequent. I went to a dealer tonight and the error code on the machine read as follow: "72: ABNORMAL YAW RATE SENSOR OUTPUT (LATEST) (1800)." The dealer didn't have a clue. They don't repair VDC systems often. They had to refer to the Subaru Canada Head Office in Toronto. No news yet. Is there anybody on this planet who has nay idea of what is wrong with the system? Is there only a small short circuit in the wiring? If so, whre o I start to look? Is the problem coming from the ABS or the VDC system? Anyone got a clue? In the beginning, when those two lights went on, I used to shut down the engine and on re-start they didn't light for about a week. But now, they go on every day... Tricky question, no?

Replying to: swbo101 (Jun 05, 2006 6:37 pm) I would check the tires first, are they all evenly worn and have the same pressure? The diameter should be close, all within 1/4" of each other.   Call 800-SUBARU3 to open up a case file. They will help track the case. They usually bring in a regional manager for tougher issues like yours. The case just helps you track it better, and makes sure you're getting all the help you need.   -juice Replies to this message: swbo101 (Jun 06, 2006 5:50 pm) ateixeira (Jun 07, 2006 7:37 am) garandman (Jun 07, 2006 8:11 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 06, 2006 6:23 am) Hi. Thanks for taking the time to read my case. The tires are all of the same brand and are worn evenly. After the guy took a reading from the ODB (or what's it's called!), the lights stayed off until this afternoon when they suddenly lighted up on the highway. I had driven then about 100km (60 miles). Later this afternoon, after leaving the gas station, I sensed something in the left front wheel (the same noise as when the VDC system goes on at start-up) and the two lights immediately went on. After getting home, I took all the ABS and VDC related fuses off and put them back in. The lights are off since then (two starts and about 20km). As for the 800-SUBARU3 number, is it valid only in the States? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 07, 2006 7:37 am) garandman (Jun 07, 2006 8:11 pm)

Replying to: swbo101 (Jun 06, 2006 5:50 pm) Oh, yeah, sorry. I'm sure Subaru of Canada has a similar number? Anyone?   OBDII - on-board diagnostics, level II. I own a scanner myself. It's handy. A chipmunk ate some of my wires and it threw a code, so I had to read it. I've used it once for my wife (loose gas cap) and twice for different friends that complained they had 'em.   -juice

Replying to: swbo101 (Jun 06, 2006 5:50 pm) Let SOC handle it. I had a bad ABS sensor in the RF of my '97 and got an intermittant ABS light. So there are other components in the system to check.
#2046 of 2084 VDC MIA for 2007 by ateixeira Jun 08, 2006 (5:53 am)
Looks like this model will be dropped for 2007, and they'll incorporate VDC in to other existing models (9 of them in the Legacy/Outback range).   -juice Replies to this message: cptplt (Jun 09, 2006 9:19 pm) ateixeira (Jun 12, 2006 10:35 am)

Replying to: cptplt (Jun 09, 2006 9:19 pm) Check out the Subaru Crew - Future Models thread, all 9 models that get VDC are listed there.   -juice
#2049 of 2084 LLBean with Legacy GT Wheels... by oclvframe Jun 19, 2006 (7:31 am)
I finally got me a set of Legacy GT wheels! I hate the wheels that came on my 01 LL Bean....They take just as long to clean as it takes to clean the entire vehicle. This weekend, I ran into someone that knew of a set for sale. I bought them with the sales pitch to the wife being that since I needed new tires anyway, here I could get a set of wheels that already had tires (with only 10k mi on them) for less. Now, I have the wheels I want, unfortunately the tires are 215/45s...so they look dorky as all get out. But with a treadware rating of 160 on the RE92s...I will be tossing them in 6-8months anyway! I will post a picture as soon as I can.   BTW...the speedo error is 7.6%....so now I am having to re-train myself as to a safe speed to set the cruise at for my early morning commute to work!   BTW...anyone interested in a set of 01 LLBean wheels?   -r
#2050 of 2084 New 2001 VDC H6 Subie Owner... Getting worried! by jcarioca Jun 21, 2006 (11:56 am)
Hello, I would like to start by thanking all the people who have submitted posts. I like doing as much research as possible before I buy, and this page has made finding that info very easy.   Although my VDC is in great shape and seems to run smooth, ran into some problems this morning on the way to work... Started the car, no problem, started driving, no problem, 4-5 km later the car suddenly cut power to the engine. The engine would still crank, but would not turn over. Thank God I bought an extended warranty program with the car, but I have only had it for a week! I read so many great things about Subaru, and being a Honda owner I put reliability at the top of my priority list when looking in to buying a car. Has anyone heard of the reason for this? The lights and electrics still work but no go with the engine. Any suggestions for this new worried Subaru owner would be great... I still have faith that Subarus are reliable, but this event has put a small question of my judgement in to play. Please give me the scoop if there is one. Thanks, New broke down Subie owner. John
