Got off the phone w/ the service manager this morning, and will be taking the car back (again) in a moment. In addition to the check engine light and disabled cruise control, of MUCH more concern is the very loud tick/knock at idle. Service manager told me, "Yeah, I guess we're going to have to order the valve shim kit." Ummmmm..... you'd think they'd want to check out the new engine installation a bit more thoroughly (test drive was less than 30 miles) before releasing it. Am I wrong?


I tried to read the codes this morning using my BAFX bluetooth OBDII reader, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, and Torque Lite, but it wouldn't connect. Works fine on my other cars. Pairing is fine, and it cycles through all of the possible OBDII connection protocols, but I get an "ECU Not Connected" message when I try to read the codes. Anyone else have this problem? I read on the Torque Lite description that the free version might not work on some Subaru products. I don't need all the gee-whiz stuff of the Pro version, but would fork out the $5 if I knew that's what the problem was. Can anyone confirm?
