If you ain't bathed in oil, you may be correct. If not . . . .  |
I just did.....or did you NOT click the link to Subaru's website?
How 'bout Dodge:

Nope, ECU isn't listed there either.
Chevy:

Engine
Engine coverage includes all internally lubricated parts, engine oil cooling hoses, and lines. Also included are all actuators and electrical components internal to the engine (e.g., Active Fuel Management valve, lifter and oil manifold) cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, engine mount, turbocharger, and supercharger. Timing belts are covered until the first scheduled maintenance interval.
Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are
sensors, wiring, connectors, engine radiator, coolant hoses, coolant, and heater core. Coverage on the engine cooling system begins at the inlet to the water pump and ends with the thermostat housing and/or outlet that attaches to the return hose. Also excluded is the starter motor, entire pressurized fuel system (in-tank fuel pump, pressure lines, fuel rail(s), regulator, injectors, and return line), as well as the
Engine/ Powertrain Control Module and/or module programming.
- For trucks equipped with a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine, the diesel engine, except those items listed under “What Is Not Covered” later in this section, is covered for 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
See, I was just using a funny colloquialism when I used "ain't in an oil bath"...that you mistakenly took as condescending.
But now you've pretty much proven you're the one looking for an argument. I am most certainly NOT an expert on these vehicles in the slightest. I apologize if I came off that way.
Looks to me from what TurnOne posted that the ECU is indeed covered on the Scion FRS....However, until I see more specific detail on Subaru's warranty, I'm not comfortable making that same conclusion about it.
My apologies for coming across as condescending....what I said was meant to be funny.
