ehsnils Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 yeah that thing is over $200 now, i will see if i can get one, and what do i need besides the dongle that connects to the OBS2 port? Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth the money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_419 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I was able to pick up a Tactrix 2.0 used so that is an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 OK I cleared out the codes, shut the car down and restarted it. Long crank and it fired up and has been fine for the 10 mile drive to work... we'll see how this goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was able to pick up a Tactrix 2.0 used so that is an option I bought my Tactrix Cable used for $130 5 years ago and I sold it 4 years later for $125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 OK I removed the BT dongle and re-plugged it, I cleared the code on Sunday and it has not returned even though the BT module is still there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Why don't you remove the BT dongle and leave it out to see if you get the symptoms again. It seems like the ECM was reset and nothing else has changed. In another thread you mention about changing the cluster plus your LED interior lights, those are other change that will make it even hard to diagnose the root cause of your problems, especially if they are CANbus issues.

YeuEmMaiMai Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 the Cluster and LED lights on the interior have been in the car since I got it. The cluster came out of another 2014 Legacy. There are only 5 interior lights 2 door (changed to LED projectors) 2 map lights changed to LED 1 dome light changed to LED all other lights on the car are factory and the error occurred when the BT module was NOT installed in the car... If the error comes back again I will take it back in but until then, I am going to just leave it be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeuEmMaiMai Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 no, nearly 11 days still not back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 OK here is the update 1. They finally acknowledged heating issue.. getting new t-stat 2. They said that they cannot duplicate p0171 problem because the temps are too warm now, HOWEVER, they are going to replace the intake gaskets and egr components based upon the fact the code keeps getting set to pending. They have 4 previous visits to present to SOA... The reason I know this has to do with the fact I had to return my loaner vehicle as the plates expired Jan 31 (we have 10 day grace period here) and I stopped in to talk to them and that is when I found out the above. Loaner cars that I have driven while they work on this red 2017 outback ice blue 2018 outback black 2017 outback and now a 2017 Forrester...not a fan overall of this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
