FJuan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Found this informative information over on UltimateSubaru.org The ECM is monitoring the Starter +12v. If the car is starting and running correctly, this is a false error. But may indicates a poor or broken wire from the starter +12v solenoid to the ECM. I would check the connections at the starter solenoid ( the smaller push on terminal of the solenoid ) You did say the starter was sounding odd. This could also be caused by a 'sticky' solenoid. If the engine starts, and the solenoid remains engaged for more than 10 seconds, this will also set a P1518. This should give you a place to start ( no pun intended ). I suspect you will have to replace the started/solenoid. More information found here:http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83894 ^^ Already found the anwsers to this code. In most cases it's related to a sticky solenoid. If you have reset the code and the code continues to pop-up, then more than likely you may have a starter/solenoid issue.

dombek2k7 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just had the same issue last night. i started my car and let it run for maybe 2-3 mins and the car stuttered and caught my attention and i looked at the dash and my check engine light came on... 4 secs later my cc started to blink. now that was after a couple mins of the car running. I havent gotten gas since friday so its not my cap. Car has been running a little weird and drink gas by the gallon with normal short distance driving (no idea why or time to pull everything apart) so im wondering as i read in previous/other threads is it my air/fuel sensor... or my tgv's. anyone have a pin point idea??

FJuan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Did your car go into "limp" mode? This would be one cause of loss power and fuel consumption. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJuan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Have you logged what your car is doing, also pull the IAM and see if you have any knocks. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian3676 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Not to bump an old thread, but I just got this code and this is what google popped up. Car was running 100% fine, got home changed for dinner went to leave and CEL P1518 Starter switch circuit low input code popped up, car was also running really rough, sounded like misfires or a cylinder was not firing at all. Re set code, idle was low for a few seconds then everything was good again. DAM has returned to 1 and car seems to be running fine. On a side note, about 300 miles ago I installed DW740 injectors, 18g turbo and grimmspeed downpipe. Got an E tune for it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
