Now according to the start of this thread, that code corresponds to 'choke control circuit'. However I'm not sure whether the Foz has the same codes as the early EJ computers as this thread refers to. The only online manuals I can find seem to be american, and their SF Forries had OBDII. Is there a manual or supplement specific to the Aussie SF?
Secondly.... If it is the 'choke control circuit', which bit do I hit with the hammer to make it work?
I can try but I've never seen this code come up on your model. Your model uses the Select Monitor system (which is a Subaru version of the OBD one model) not the OBDII system. Can you tell me how you got the code 54 out of your car?Point wrote:nobody knows?
I plugged the black plugs together and the check engine light flashedCan you tell me how you got the code 54 out of your car?
this is just the info I was after. I have tried another MAP sensor with no change. Will try the IACV, and TPS next. I did clean the IACV previously.This code basically tells you that the ECU is having trouble maintaining a steady idle speed. It relates to either an air leak, or a faulty MAP sensor, Throttle sensor or Idle control valve
