So it did turn out to be the transmission solenoid. I ordered it at the dealership and replaced it. No one was ever able to get any codes on it which is strange but once i put it in I have not had any issues. Also i'm glad i did put it on when I did because although it ran fine and just the lights were on, once i put the new solenoid in it shifted so much smoother and at lower rpms. If you have more questions you can ask and I'll see if i can answer em.

Can you send me the part number for that if you dont mind?

Same scenario I scanned the car and could not get any codes to appear, ill run through all the connectors. Unfortunatly I just received a phone call like 5 minutes ago now that the transmission does not want to go into gear so might be a larger problem maybe the control module its self is bad. or the solenoid is shot like you replaced

Do you mean the shifter will not move or when put it in drive the car will not move. Check your brake lights. Also find a shop with a top end scanner. There is codes.

For AT oil temp and Brake dash lights flashing and solid VDC light lite try turning the key to the ON position, hold your foot on the brake pedal and pull out the emergency brake pull on the dash near your left knee. Same procedure in the instructions printed under it. Driving with the emergency brake on puts a stress on your CVT.

Did you get the same codes as what is posted on this thread? C0045 and P0971?

I did this and it worked. Do I do this every time those 3 light are on? Or do I try replacing the transmission solenoid?

Yes I am

I just had the same thing. All lights came on at the same time, the brake light and cruise control blinking, traction control and engine light on solid, and the AT oil temp light would come on after a while, blinking as well. The codes would come back either just the solenoid, except today, I got a number of codes. Again, it would drive normal until the AT oil temp came on, but even before it all turned on, sometimes I would accelerate and it wouldn't change gears until I let off the accelerator. So the census is, changing the transmission solenoid will get rid of all of it?

Sorry what exactly did you do.

Hey everyone I hope this is the right place to post this I finally bought my dream car a 2014 Subaru outback and after driving it a whole week My dashboard lit up like Christmas tree lights As the title States the flashing brake light and oil temperature light and solid traction control in the middle of the dash. Has not affected drivability or anything else the dealership didn't pull any codes and when I changed A light bulb that was out on my headlight the problem went away but now it's back and I have nothing out as far as I can tell other than my horn. Some of the things that don't work with flashing lights is Cruise control and paddle shifters but when it worked again after the bulb everything was fine. I am stumped and wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions thanks in advance

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the exact issue on the exact year and make you had.

This is happening to my 2015 legacy. Would anyone be able to help or is best bet to go to the dealership?

Hello I am having same light issues with my 2015 legacy would anyone have any suggestions?

FYI - Last year I bought a used 2013 Outback Limited, drove it for a year with no issues, last Friday 8/25 I got the triple light scare (AT Oil Temp, Traction Control, Brakes) all blinking. I was on vacation 350 miles from home so went to a Meineke. They diagnosed that I needed a new transmission ($6500), plus ball bearings in front right tire & something with the CV Shaft. He recommended not driving home so we dropped $500 on a tow. Dropped off at the dealership Sunday, just got the call that it's the valve body & covered by warranty to 15 yrs or 150K miles, whichever comes first. It has 120K, so valve body repair is FREE, then they'll check the other issues. Bottom line, for any transmission issues take it to a dealership or an authorized Subaru repair shop, Bonus, have a 2023 fully loaded Outback with all the bells & whistles for free while inspection & repairs being done. Great sales pitch!

Take it to dealership. They just diagnosed mine as Valve Body, 100% warranty for a 2013 with 120K miles, plus a free loaner car.

2013 with 120k miles and it was covered? thought it was only extended to 10yr/100k, whichever came first. Asking for a friend.

I am having this same issue with my vehicle. The horn went out first. Did this resolve the issue with the horn as well or was that unreleated?

My 2013 base model legacy had cvt valve body replaced. So expensive but I just wanted it fixed. Dealer refused to attempt warranty coverage (92k miles but 10 years and 60 days 🤯).

I have filed a claim with Subaru of America, hoping for some relief.

Hey mgallagher465, I have a 2013 Outback with 107,000 on it. I bought it from a friend. Was it difficult to get the service done under warranty as a second owner?

There’s no way you are getting warranty coverage on 2013 unless it was built in October- December. SOA treated me well, 60 days out warranty but only 92k miles. They paid for parts which was about 2/3 total cost.
