Wah sweet, enkei rs05rr rims, i am also going to change into this rims, i was thinking of primacy 4 with this tyre, how is this tyre

great minds think alike...Kekeke.

I used this GYA5 on previous ride and like the performances on the dry and esp wet, so decided to fit on the forester.

Had a few choices, RE004, GYA5, Primacy 4.

Wanted to try RE004 but still remember the noisy sticky RE003, so decided to pass since not so much review as new model.

Hi,

Finally repaired not unusual side mirror motor failures at HongYu.

Had this trouble for almost 1 yr but try to avoid repair until it create safety issue with occasional incomplete opening.

My ICE installation with customised boxed midbass means I had to drive to Foon Audio at east to disassemble door panel but not before desoldering  to remove midbass speakers and driving to bukit timah turf club where HongYu is.

Sharing here in case bros has the same issue after warranty period or aftermkt auto folding modules and these guys are professional ... glad only sgd80/side instead of dunno how many hundreds for total replacement which is also tough for me cos complex wiring of bsm, welcome lights, self dimming mirror etc. 😅

Cheers.

Richard

Driving a 2015 FXT. This morning after dropping my son off, I went for breakfast. After breakfast, started the car and the 3 warning lights came on, together with the Sports Mode and Cruise Control light. The S mode and CC light were flashing and I can't change the mode. The 3 warning lights were CEL, Hill start assist and Vehicle Dynamics. I off the engine, waited a while and started again. Still the same. 

This was not the first time it happened. First time was 3 days back and it went off after a while. This time, it lasted after 3 off and on. Even after I drove to buy lunch, it was still there.

Car drives normally but seems a little jerky. Called Subaru service center and waiting for them to call me back .

Read online but nothing conclusive. Not sure if its battery, O2 sensor or whatever. Anyone experienced the same before?

You might want to use OBDII scanner to check for error codes.

Thanks but it doesn't seem to be any of them. Because both the S mode light and Cruise Control light are flashing at the same time. 

I'll probably try to see what ODB2 error code comes up.

Maybe air flow sensor dirty. Happen to my XT once. After cleaning of the air flow sensor and reset. everything is OK.

Thanks. I will try that if I can locate it.

The ODB scanner cannot seem to initiate the connection to the ECU. Seems like the protocol is not compatible. Will google and find out.

Got an appt with Subaru tomorrow. Let's see what they say.

I believe that you might need the highlight protocol OBDII scanner.

Thanks bro. The default (auto) protocol didn't work. I googled and one website said ISO-9141-2, which also didn't work (several baud rates). 

Anyway, car is with MI. Waiting for them to advise what's the problem.

My hill assist and vehicle dynamics came up a couple of times. Both times during rainy days. Once when going over a metal hump and another by moving my car abit while waiting at pickup stand. Not sure why though. Seems that both time the wheels slipped a little and the lights came up. I wasn't too bothered by it and it disappear the next day after parking overnight. 

I find that the vehicle dynamics control is too sensitive. it will light up if I go over humps slightly faster. Hope you can get your resolved and update us the root cause.

My experience with MI. If the fault does not show when your Forester is with them, it will be eventually termed as no problem. It might had helped if you had taken some photos or video clips of the fault that had displayed to show them.

The following will most likely able to work:
