Car Forum / Subaru Cars / August 2007Cel code P0447 resolution
Hello: Some time ago I posted about a stubborn CEL light code P0447. It has finally been resolved and it was a corroded solder in the wiring in the rear wheel well. Fixing this seems also to have solved a rough engine problem (though it might be too soon to tell...) P.S. I'd have posted to the original thread, but I'm having problems with free newsgroup server letting me go that far back... Anyway, after a long, expensive year with lots of problems, here's hoping things change for the better with my Subie!

Sorry, I don't know. I think it was somewhere around right rear wheel well. I've seen some posts/info somewhere on the 'net that describes this issue with Subies - but I can't find the links at the moment.

We have a P0446 code, which is similar to what you had. If I could find a manual for this car, I'd be much more comfortable messing around back there. But once I replace the knock sensor to fix the P0325 code, we'll get on the 446..... Dan D '99 Impreza RS2.5 (son's) Central NJ USA Hi: Here is one of the posts I had found that describes the situation. The service manager brought me a piece of wire coloured green with corrosion. He said something as well about separating wires as part of the repair. The engine has not exhibited any recurrance of roughness or stumbling since the repair was completed a few days ago, so that is good! http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?s=fec17e12624b0b14a6947adfa&p=14 318#post14318 SignatureFred Boer - Amateur Access Enthusiast Interests: Library software / Z39.50 / Web Services Freeware Small Library Application available here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/lornarourke/ >> Sorry, I don't know.

[quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > '99 Impreza RS2.5 (son's) > Central NJ USA By the way, the service manager suggested this wiring issue might be the problem the first time I came in (the CEL had gone out on it's own, and they couldn't really do much on that visit), sooo I got the impression that this is not uncommon. I live in Ontario, Canada, and there is plenty of salt on the roads in winter...

I was looking at the cannister yesterday afternoon, but not having a manual yet, was a little reluctant to pull it off. What a terrible design, there is an electrical connector directly in the path of water and crud thrown up by the right rear tire. Why would they put uncovered electrical wires there??!!

Hi, Wiring in the wheel well makes me to think ABS sensor. Code 0447 has to do with the electric circuit for the drain valve part of evaporative system. This valve closes the atm. pressure line to the cannister for testing purposes. >> Hello: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Hi, > Wiring in the wheel well makes me to think ABS sensor. |
