This fixed my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek. Thanks very much for the video! The dealer tried to get $3000 from my wife for three sensors, turned out this single fuse fixed the whole problem. This was the Little Rock AR dealer that we bought the car from, and it had under 50k miles at the time, which was under the warranty miles.
Mate!! I had P0031 and P0037. O2 and fuel mix sensor. Subaru dealership here said I needed two new sensors costing around $1500. They said they checked fuses too. 2 years later, still check.engine light on,.found.your video. Located that black.fuse box and low and behold!! The 3rd fuse was fucking missing!! Replaced it, cleared faults with my cheap scanner tool and POW! Faults gone! Those fuckers were going to rip me off. I bet they knew that the fuse was missing too. I've since given them a very scathing review!
Saved my life. Was going to buy a new Sensor but went to check the fuse on my 2016 STI and was the fuse #9 from buttom to top that was blown. Replaced it, clear the code and problem solved. Thanks for the info.
What caused the fuse to blow? At that point, you need to check your wiring and check the 02 sensor. They do not just blow for no reason. That pre heater is exactly what it says. If its blowing fuses again, you have a short somewhere. The sensor its self may be bad.I have found the wires chewed right off by chipmunks. I have seen them ripped off by ice or snow under the vehicle that have pulled the wiring down. had someone simply plugged the cheap wire holder back in.
Could this work for a 2005 wrx Sti? I’ve replaced the sensor twice and I took it to the dealership and they said all they could do is replace the sensor
Did this. Didn't work at all. Replaced a couple sensors but still hasn't gone away. Same codes pop up but I've replaced everything related to the code. This problem can be complex. Glad it worked for you though.
Hey George, I'm guessing the paperclip and new computer never fixed the problem on the Lexus with a P0018 code? It most likely had stretched timing chains or some other cam/crank issue, just as the code suggested right? I'm also guessing it didn't work to reprogram the keys either right?...Did you fry the new computer too, after you connected the paperclip to the wrong pins (5+13) even after you showed which pins it should connect to?😂..The OBD connector was upside down from your diagram..lol🤔😂
Can someone please help. I have a 2006 Suburu Impreza R with a 2010 Impreza engine in it. It’s throwing the code P0031 (heated O2 sensor circuit low bank 1 sensor 1). I’ve tested the harness for power with the ignition on and gotten 12.8 V and then the resistance on the sensor with a reading of 2.2 Ohms. What else could be causing the problem? It’s driving me nuts. The engine struggled for power under 3K rpm in 1st-3rd gear. I reset everything and cleared the code to see if it did anything and now the car is running like it’s brand new, the P0031 code is back as a pending code however it’s no longer causing a CEL on the dash. What other diagnostics can I do?
Great video! I have a 2019 Subaru crosstrek premium and what does the mpg + and - mean on the dash? Also, I wish they had kept the H and C gauge because I feel anxious not knowing how hit the engine is on my car.
Bro will this work on subaru wrx 2016, after replacing the engine, i started having engine icon flashing and also started having engine idle issue, what you think is the problem, resetting the ECU will that work?
Did you ever find a solution? Similar problem I'm having. Pulled the engine on a 2010 SOHC 2.5 and now I have P0031. Replaced the sensor.. checked fuses.. checked power to the sensor. checked resistance on the sensor.. all checks out yet there is still a code
@@sfd50 Sold it but the new owner said the code went away as the connection wasn't plugged in all the way. I'm not sure I believe it but perhaps it wasn't!
Hi, my Subaru Impreza 2013 also just had the check engine light on, with that the traction light is also on and the cruise control logo is flashing. What could be the problem?
It's the fuse, under the dash there's two fuse blocks, a tan one and a black one. Three fuses up from the bottom of the black fuse block is the one to check on this car and it could be blown
I have a 2006 Subaru out back that I have replaced the #1 02 sensors twice. I use a scanner and turn off the code and it stays off for one to two weeks, but eventually comes on again. Sometimes the engine light just goes off by itself. I also remember seeing another post where if you change the battery on a Subaru you need to change a fuse. I guess I will check my fuses. Anyone had a similar situation and a fix? Thanks for your post.

Swapped out the fuse and the lights are no longer illuminated. Thanks for saving me time and money! You Rock!!!

Thank you ... I needed this video ... I have a love / hate relationship with my Subie
George you put out great videos & info. Haters always going to criticize. You have lots of great respect from your subscribers.
Haters are the Subaru repair shops 😂
Thank you for the video. These lights were driving me crazy. Will try this trick.
Did it work
Whats the scan device Called for your android phone and does it wrk on a iPhone? Does the code reader wrk
For a 2017 Subaru Outback? Great video!!!
this fixed my issue as well.. shame on Subaru for trying to charge me 2k for swapping the sensors with a new one

Hello. Did you find out what the problem was. I have the same problem as you. Mine is a SUZUKI SWIFT 4x4 2006. Have replaced it 2 times.
Look for a short or damage in the wiring
2004 Subaru Forester X the scan tool won't clear some of the codes for a second depending on the conditions.
What kind of scanning tool or brand so I can buy?
What if the engine light come on the traction light come on and the cruise light come on all at the same time
a thousand videos address this-check tightness of your fuel cap first
