emorphien Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Yep, I think to disprove a scientific theory we need repeatable and verifiable evidence. Also one occurrance is statistically insignificant... in other words it doesn't matter. But I doubt many people really understand any statistics that well. Judging from the "all Toyotas suck because mine fried its power steering pump at 30k miles" mentality that is rampant on all webforums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wait for the gauges to sweep. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twill Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 works for me...a lil annoying at first, but once it becomes habit, i wont mind....guess SoA is listing that as "normal operation"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck 2.5GT Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Same thing with me. When I first tested the car (tank was almost empty), the ET read "10km" left. Now, anything below 90km in the tank and I get a --. The most important time you need this reading is when you get down into the double digits, and the dealership is saying this is normal and will refuse to look into it .

We're talking about the E/T (Elasped Time in minutes) reading and not the remaing distance to empty. My "tank til empty" reading goes as low as 10mi and then gives the -- because it doesn't resolve single digit readings ignore him, he'll go away.

schwinn Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wonder... anyone with the '06 "feature" see if the problem goes away if we disable the sweep? Just curious.. I hope this pause-before-start "fixes" the problem on my '06 too... will try it tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix96 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I don't even really consider it a 'problem' anymore. I've gotten so used to the fraction-of-a-second pause before turning the key to Start that I don't even think about it (and do the same thing in other cars that I drive!). phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konrad Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have the same problem in my 06 2.5i LTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg113 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Happens to me sometimes. Actually more then sometimes. All i do to fix the problem is to turn my car off, then back on again. After that, E/T always registers. I sometimes dont really worry about it. I only like to see how long I have been traveling on road trips or something. Good luck.

ur a bus Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Subaru has a fix for this now. I work for a "Travel Agent" and we have a subscription to "Vacation Pictures" and TSBs. They released a TSB (08-37-06) last Tuesday instructing to replace the display. February of 2006-->on production already has the updated display (with a VIN break point).

HTH someone SteveYes, the TSB is at http://www.thel7.com/TSB/08-37-06.pdf. Strange that it's a MY2006-only problem. Subaru apparently changed the logic in the display and issued a new part to fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrain.org Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I have this same problem on my 06 OBXT. So is it worth it to have this fixed, or better (from a don't-go-into-my-dash perspective) to get used to the half-second delay when starting?

So is it worth it to have this fixed, or better (from a don't-go-into-my-dash perspective) to get used to the half-second delay when starting? Hmm. I'm inclined to leave it alone - having a dealership rip into the dash is asking for trouble, and the 50 millisecond pause has become so natural to me that I do it in every car I drive. phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06Legacy2.5LManTran Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I appreciate the Information! Noticed same problem on my '06 and went straight to the forums for info. The Community does not disappoint. I'm gonna try disabling the sweep and see if it has any effect as that question remains to be answered, but if not the 1/2 second pause is something I could get used to.
