2014 BRZ 134k Miles P0018 Code
Hey everyone,
Haven't been here since 2016. Bought my girl new and she finally threw her first CEL at 134k miles. It's a P0018. I'm bone stock except a perrin catback which was installed in 2014. Searching the forms I see horror stories about these crankshaft sensor codes. Some require timing chain spur gears, ecu's, and ecu flashes. For some background, I received the CEL coming home from work today while driving on a flat road at 55mph in 6th. Didn't notice limp mode /any power loss as well as any strange noises. I disconnected the battery for a bit, CEL went away on startup, but came back after driving for 10 mins. I have a dealership appt for Tues and just changed the oil again tonight since that was a recommended thing to do. Anyone with high miles experience these cam sensor errors? If so, what was the fix? Thanks everyone |

Just following up on this for anyone else having this issue in the future. Ended up replacing a cam gear and ECU at the Subaru dealer for $3100 USD.

Did they give you your old ECU back? Want to sell it?
