Fingers crossed, that would save me about $1,000 vs. a new ECU. Paying $100/hr for the diagnostics to start.
Dropped the car at the dealer today and they called me right after I dropped it and said there was a valve spring recall to be performed if I wanted it, but it would take them a few extra days (while also troubleshooting the power steering issue).
I told them to go ahead with the recall (mine being a 2013, I don't think it could hurt, I'm sure there's new valve gaskets involved and other new parts that can break down over 100k miles) and to let me know about the EPS.
Hopefully Subaru pays well for the valve spring recall and the tech is feeling generous and I don't end up with a $1,000+ bill, but only time will tell what caused this EPS failure.
I'll be sure to update the post for the next person Googling this in 5 years when I get the car back.
