2010 Forester Diesel Dash Lights On
Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2018 9:55 pm
Hi peps,
Been doing some searches but to no avail. This issue we have is with my daughter's Foz. It has 3 warning lights displaying on the dash.
1) Check Engine light
2) Vehicle Dynamic Control light
3) Diesel Particulate Filter light which is flashing.
Also the Cruise Control isn't working and the engine will not rev over 3,200RPM. I took the car for a drive the other day and found the boost wasn't like it usually is. I could hear some boost leak, so looking at all the intercooler pipes, we found the 70mm pipe between the intercooler and throttle body had a split in it. We replaced this today and then took the car for a drive. The boost is back until the car hits 3,200RPM but all the warning lights are still on.
The DPF light has come on and off (never flashing) quite regularly but this time it come on flashing without any warning. Reading the owner's manual, it says we need to take it to the dealer. Is this our only option or can we try something else first?
I read somewhere that if the DPF light is flashing the DPF requires a forced regen. Can this be done with a Snap-On Modis?
Any tips or advise would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
