Lane change does not pull car to correct lane.

[klxdrt]

Hi,

 

Happy New.

 

2018 2.5 Legacy 10,500 mi: dashboard indicates ORANGE rectangle alert, but does not pull car back into correct lane. Worked fine for 2 1/2 yr, then stopped.

 

Consulted 1 manual out of 7-8 & found this: image below. I toggled these 4 switches off/on with ignition on & off and saw NO indication anywhere that the collision control lane change system was working.

 

Hesitate to take to dealer as svc is slow.

 

Regards

I'd just turn it off. Never liked it and never will.

Regarding your image "what do these switches control?"...

The first one is the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) OFF.

The second one is the Blind Spot Detection/Rear Cross Traffic Alert (BSD/RCTA) OFF.

Quick cut/paste from the owners manual:

Regarding your Active Lane Keep System issue...

Have you had any maintenance performed on the vehicle?

 

There are several tasks that call for "Clear Active Lane Keep System Learning Value ES(diag)-49" to be accomplished as well.

Wheel alignment is one of them.

Unfortunately, it requires SSM4.

 

If this is something that has just started happening, I have attached some documentation from the Service Manual that may help with diagnostics.

 

You may have no choice but take it to the Stealership.

I Trader,

 

Thanks for all the good info. You mentioned about turning it all off. I agree I'm adding the rest of the tech crap, center stack esp, to the list. You buy a Subaru because it's a Subaru. What more do you need?

 

My first car in the 50's was a 1935 straight 8 Packard with a BIG back seat that was great for drive-ins. Paint was somewhat faded, but it's ride was very smooth. No problem in the snow as it was heavy & had big tires.

 

Cheers,

Great Car. There is another Forum thread entitled "What Vehicle Do You Want Next" ...... I'd take the Packard in a heartbeat

Painless.

 

The Active Lane Keep System problem just started. Since purchased worked great.

 

Maintenance consisted of

: 4 oil/filter changes, GPS updated, Radio chk'd/updated several times because of Sirius radio problem, eyesite was chk'd/updated several times.

 

As you can see, most problems were with the cattiwampuss tech stuff, not what makes a Subaru a SUBARU.

 

Car runs fine, handles well, quiet, gets up to 29 mpg in Jersey???

 

Is the Active Lane Keep System a common problem in these cars?
