No, you'd be surprised how many people don't update the software that asks you if you want to check for updates everytime it's opened !

Question for @Visconti or @Rich@ViscontiTuning.

Car came on with slip light and abs light today while sitting in traffic. Traction control or vsc sport mode is not engage-able. I do not have a check engine light but my idle does seems to be hunting a bit between 1000 and 600 (no violent or anything)

If I take this to the dealer do I need to remove the flash?

Only thing I did different yesterday was install new hids and led turn signals with cf18 flash relay.

Thanks for your help guys!

^ you may want to try submitting your question to them in the support system.

My suggestion would be to flash back to stock and take it in.

It happened to me one time after driving angrily, but after turning it off and back on it hasn't returned in over 3000 miles. I'd let it go unless it comes back.

Looks like EcuTek does not have the latest dealer flash that has the injector seal fix built into it.

I am updating the A00D Tune files to incorporate Subaru's Injector Seal Fix.

Automatic Notes have been updated - Please note release date has not been announced yet

Switch the ignition off, back on, and push the throttle to the floor another 20 times. After that you should be good to go.

I have no idea if that's real at all, but it's a viable theory for me, given how little I know about what's going on in the ECU.
was there any truth about this?

also my launch control is not working. I searched and found a few tips like make sure you are in the right map, stop the car and put in neutral, release clutch, press clutch put in first and floor gas pedal.
I give it another try beacause I mignt not have been in neutral with the clutch out before I tried it.

I got told it was 5 times and it seems to work

My method: Warm car. Reflash and do the required reset. Once that completes, you're already in acc. mode. Press the pedal gradually all the way down and up 5 times. Start car, leave to idle for 1 minute (you hear the cams settle after 30/40 seconds) and you're good to go.
