Silver_05_GTX Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I was cruising at about 80 mph and happened to be looking at the tach when I noticed the speedo briefly jump from 80 to ~65 and back to 80. This all happened in a split second. I kept watching to see if it happened again but didn't see it happen. I don't know if it's happened before. My 05 Legacy GT has 603 miles on it. Should I be worried? Is it worth taking it in over this? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hmm sounds a bit on the strange side of things. Just keep an eye on it but if its only happened once, it might have been a clitch that has now disappeared. If you continue to see this, just ring your SA and talk to them over the phone about it but I would say they will ask you to come in. Let us know the progress. Adam.

eamiller Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 probably had a CAN communications dropout.. If it happens enough, you'll eventually get a check engine light.. Probably a once in a great while thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb175 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 hmm, so there is a post like this. driving home today from work, going about 75 mph, but instead of my speedo, my tach dropped from a little above 3000 rpms to right about 2000 rpms and right back to the 3000, all in a split second. i saw this before out of the corner of my eye, but i thought it was just me seeing things. happend about twice several months back. today, i actually saw it cause i wanted to see how fast i was travelling. odd, hope its nothing too serious.

melayout Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Did the engine's sound change or was it just a visual anomaly? Maybe a change in the matrix. J/k I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con.Harr91 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Grave digger... Similar issue as mentioned above, but much more drastic. I noticed it today while driving to work. It would bounce around for a bit, then stabilize for a while, then bounce around for a bit, then stabilize... now it just sits at 0 mph most of the time and will very occasionally decide to function. Went hooning in the snow yesterday, and we had absolutely frigid temps overnight afterwards. I knocked out as much ice and snow as I could, but this morning there was some intense vibrations through the steering wheel. Pulled over, cleared out all the remaining snow/ice, and the vibration was fixed. I'm thinking that maybe one of the wheel speed sensors is malfunctioning? http://flickr.com/gp/c_harrison/3D77J7 '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.

Con.Harr91 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It may have fixed itself, it wasn't doing it when I went out tonight, but it was doing it all day. Strange. FWIW, I did find the TSB fix for the 'Er SP' code on the odometer. I haven't done this yet, but if the problem resurfaces I may just resort to it.

Con.Harr91 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Issue came back, went ahead and did the TSB fix. The TPMS plug was actually melted and covered in corrosion! The sheathing on a blue wire had turned brown as it entered the plug. Problem seems to be fixed now. '03 Forester X 5mt - Engine Seized at 262k miles.
