Check engine light just came on after 2k miles.

Something i noticed was when you enter the FRS forum, the first thing you see is at least 3 threads about car problems. When you go to the BRZ forum, this problem is nearly non-existent.

Pull the code, give us the code, then make a diagnostic

Maybe because the ratio of FRS to BRZ is somewhere around 3:1 right now?

Larger sample size?

My CEL came on at about 300 miles. The code I got was "loss of communication between the ECU and the display," probably caused by my using a poorly-shielded OBD2 reader next to a high-voltage power line.

there is a small sensor on each wheel for the ABS. it may have fallen off? Not sure how much you know about this type of thing but its a quick visual check.

...At these times I'm glad I spent $50 years ago to buy a scantool.

Just finished dropping the car if with the service department where I bought her. I guess since the car is so new they have to pull the codes and report it back to corporate. Then corporate will tell them what to do. I'm waiting to find what they say. I'm hoping it's something as simple as a sensor issue.

I am sorta happy to see we have such dedicated members to report problems. The quicker we identify these issues, we will less likely to have to pay for it when the warranty is over.

The anticipation of finding out what was wrong with my car was killing me so I walked into the service bay to find out what was going on. Walked up on 5 tech's standing around my car, which in my experience isn't a good sign. In talking with the tech they said that the code they pulled off was related to a crank shaft position sensor error. They all seemed to agree that they didn't think that's what the issue is. Could be the sensor or an issue with the ECU. Leaving her here so they can continue troubleshooting the issue. they said the demo car they have ran into the same issue and another scion dealership in the area had a FRS which had the same issue as well which they are going to cross reference. I'll update this thread when I get more info

I've been reading about mostly FR-S related issues but issues that were seen on previous Subaru models; condensation, vibration in the vents etc

Wow, that sucks! Keep us posted on what the issue actually is!

This is starting to sound like what happened to whiteout and Stu....

I hope "corporate" has a damn good answer!

The crank shaft position sensor sounds like the same issue some of the others are also having with the idle issue. Have you happened to notice any strange idle dip? Does your idle ever randomly drop below 400rpm? Would love to know if this is all related to this little sensor, or even the crank shaft itself.
