If engines start blowing up and/or people get hurt from a problem, then it's time to complain. So instead of WPP (White People Problems, you have First Year Problems. FYP.) |

Dealerships are always so quick to say that the ECU must be defective. I've NEVER seen a car with a bad ECU. They don't just fail but I know so many people who in the process of trying to diagnose a problem have had the dealership replace the ECU. It's just the answer that dumb service techs like to give.

The crankshaft position sensor would definitely be causing issues like this with rough idle and potential stalls. The sensor must be just a little off or something because with a real bad sensor you'd get problems starting and misfire codes (and noticeable problems accelerating). Then again, this is a brand new car so maybe a bad batch of parts from OEM? However, why the ABS light stays illuminated is also interesting. Those are pretty unrelated! I figured the car would have at least one FYP, something minor hopefully. This isn't too bad, the 06 Si had tranny problems and I am glad ours does not (*knock on wood*).

Actually after looking over the manual again, its the Slip indicator light that is stuck on. The same light that comes on when your TS and SC kicks in. In the manual in the fine print reads: If indicator does not turn off within a few seconds of starting engine, there may be a malfunction. Have vehicle inspected by your Scion or Toyota dealer. Im going to update my OP.

Oh, that is interesting. Wonder if that's a code for particular engine issues, doubt your diff is broken!

This all sounds very related to the idle issue some of us are having that may have to do with that sensor. Some others have also reported misfires, rough idle, ect.
The more I hear about it, the more it's narrowing down to the same problem. |

This is true...probably because all the BRZ threads are along the lines of "Why the hell don't I have my BRZ yet?"

From what it looks like Toyota has done the something as Subaru and holding off shipments till they get this nailed down. On a side note it like to see the 5why notes.
