Rear differential oil temperature warning light
- (WRX-STI)
oil temperature is too hot. At this time, the driver's control center differential
will automatically cancel the current torque-distribution ratio setting and
adopts its minimum ratio. If the light comes on while driving, reduce
vehicle speed and stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place.
Park the vehicle for several minutes. After the light goes out, you can start driving.
If the light does not go out, contact the nearest SUBARU dealer for service.
NOTE
If the tire pressures are not correct and/or the tires are not all the same
size and brand, the rear differential will be heavily loaded when the vehicle is
driven, resulting in an abnormally high oil temperature.
The rear differential oil will deteriorate if its temperature increases
enough for the rear differential oil temperature warning light to come on. It is
advisable to have the rear differential oil replaced as soon as possible.

Whoa, kartboy has a DCCD forester!? That's awesome! So the wiring is that messed up eh? Sounds like it would be after reading about all the sensors involved! It's a shame that the standard WRX's don't have DCCD... It's an even bigger shame knowing that people who have DCCD don't use it!!! (all because they read that Auto is the best setting for the fastest lap times? There's more to driving then getting the fastest lap times!).
