Hi guys. I have a 1998 Forester, automatic, with 249,000 miles on the clock. Bought it new, and been throught the wheel bearing and H.G. issues. Car has run great since HG job at 184,000.
My question:
At the very front of the engine compartment there are two units, one on each side, mounted next to the level indicators. They consist of a thin plastic rod with black and red radial lines on it, inside of a plastic housing, and attatched to a black plastic housing that has 13.8 % marked on it. What are these?
Long story short, the housing on the unit on the driver's side is gone. I likely knocked it off yesterday when changing the battery, but didn't notice it at the time. About 100 miles following the battery change I got a CEL. Car still seems to run OK.
Would the loss of the housing cause a CEL? How expensive is it to replace, and how would I reset the CEL if I did replace it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
