AT Oil Temp light flashes 16 times upon start-up

Jan 08, 2007 4 Replies

Had a tune up last week for my 1998 Outback Impreza. Now, AT Oil Temp light flashes 16 times after the initial light test upon start-up. Any ideas?



Thanks in advance.



You have a trouble code stored in the TCU. Have it scanned to see what it is

I have a factory manual and there is no #16 for your 98 Subaru. Recount the flashes and pauses I.e. 3 short followed by an pause then

4 more flashes would be #34.

You are confusing the CEL with the ATF temp light. 16 flashes (ATF temp light) does indicate a transmission malfunction.

Hello, did you ever get to the bottom of this as we have the same problem after having a second hand motor installed.
