ADirtyLegacy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Is there a chronic problem with the O2 senors in lgt's? I got a CEL in early spring and I had to get it replaced, well the same symptoms are back that lead to the CEL, and infact the light has come on and gone off again twice. I called the local dealership and the service dude said there was a recall on them, but not for my model year. Anyone know anything about this, or have a sure-fire fix? Also, I have a slightly annoying issue with the sunroof. It opens fine, but when I go to close it, I push the button and it only closes about 1/4 of the way, then I have to let go of the button and repush it again to get the sunroof to close all of the way. Thoughts on if it is a switch problem or a sunroof track problem that maybe some grease will fix, or is this just teh way the sunroof's close?

Drift Monkey Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Is it a chronic problem that the members of this board double post.? :P As the for teh 02 sensor, try pulling the code and see what the problem really is... All sunroofs do that I think....though I wouldn't know about Subaru sunroofs since I no experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eamiller Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Many Sunroofs do this.. Pretty much older ones without pinch protection will stop about 1/2 to 1/4 from closed and make you press again. This is to make sure that no limbs get caught and crushed. New cars have pinch protection built into the motor so they don't need to stop. Old cars (pre mid-90's) didn't care about protecting limbs to they don't stop either.

It's a precautionary stop to ensure that you don't close it on anything (anyone?). Your double posting = pwnage. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Bates Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The sunroof issue is a safety feature. My Wife's '03 Legacy does that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deer Killer Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 So is it supposed to stop 1/2 way? I figured this is normal, but it's annoying, when I'm closing it I'm trying to leave the car, not wait to babysit the sunroof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devobuzz Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Yeh my front O2 sensor went bad after 30 miles - took them 4 days to diagnose it but it's been fine for a couple of hundred miles now. I think there is a bad batch of O2 sensors out there. This may be the cause of the stuttering problems as well. My acceleration was much smoother after the O2 sensor replacement. My sunroof stops halfway upon closing too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapimp Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I don't have the manual in front of me, but I'm 99% sure the 1/2 way setting according to the manual is the 'comfort' position for wind noise. All of the LTD's do that. I won't get into my personal beef with the lack of electronic smarts in a flagship car. It should be one touch with pinch-protection. PERIOD. You've just got to get used to it, or replace the control module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
