Purchased on Wed, 3.6 limited, now with 250 miles. Car sat in driveway last night. This am, turned on, flashing brake light, VDC, eyesight, lane warning off, cEL on... Scanned codes p0700, p1843 pop up. Drove it about 10 miles. Turned off and sat for about 5 mins. Turned back on, CEL off, brake light no longer flashing but still stored codes in system????? Any ideas. Having it towed to dealer right now.


Updated- they are telling me that code stored is for transmission fluid sensor which is still stored, but since light isnt on they dont know how to diagnose???? Tell me flashing brake light is associated with this as well??? Still trying to research how to troubleshoot.

This makes four 2013 3.6's, all with under 250 miles on them. It could be that with the revised and stiffer suspension there is less slippage of the tires and the drive train starts to lock up, setting off all the warning lights. It may not be the trans at all, but the all wheel drive control is over reacting. Anyway, I just reset everthing and have no problems. I am of the opinion that that this is really a not issue, except for all the dash lights going off and scare effect it has. I have to say that it got me at first, but with six 4 wheel vehicle's plus one 4 wheel drive tractor, I have never seen such a dash light show as with the 2013 Outback.
