Hey Everyone, I have seen this question brought up a couple of times, but nothing quite like this. I have a 2009 WRX, and all of a sudden out of no where today, my Hill Start Assist light came on. That is the only like that came on. I plugged in my accessport and it is not throwing any codes. The hill assist definitely doesn't work, but other than that the car operates normally. I recently upgraded my rotors, pads, brake lines, and fluid. (about a week ago) Any help would be great! Thank you
try disconnecting the battery. There's a sensor in the brakes for the hill hold that may not be functioning properly after you fixed/upgraded the brakes. Also, there's a fuse for the hill hold. If the fuse blows, the light will turn on. Look for that fuse and replace if blown.
I disconnected the batter with no change. Do you know where this sensor is and how I would be able to tell if it got messed up? In regards to the fuse, I have looked in the fuse box in the engine bay, I just did a quick look, but didn't see any obviously blown fuses, I imagine there is probably another fuse box somewhere inside the car, but I haven't been able to locate it. Do you have any idea where the fuse is? thank you very much
There's another fuse box in the passenger compartment, behind the dash. There's a cover over it...in the older subaru's it was a coin tray. As for where the module is, I have no idea. Maybe one of the techs on here (outbacksprt) can chime in. This image shows where it is
As long as the weather holds up I will check it tonight! Thank you hopefully one of the techs chime in. I am much appreciative.
