Sounds like your car has thrown a CEL/MIL for some reason.

You should try to read the error code with an OBD adapter to see what the cause could be (and clear the code if necessary). Do you have one handy?

site:forum.liberty.asn.au CEL


Pop that search term into google.
Find someone with a tactrix, ECU datascan or torque app, or your mechanic or dealer and get that cel read. :)

I just bought the car less than a month, should I contact the car dealer as it still have warrantee,

I was thinking of getting a OBD adaptor but don't know which one to get, do you know which adapter will work.

Yep the dealer should be able to read the code for you - probably your best bet for the moment since you said you still have warranty too.

Any Subaru dealer should be able to read the code for you if the dealer you bought from can't.

Yeah if you have an android to connect it to, and run the app torque pro or similar.
If not, some obdII app and a wifi obdII adapter with your iphone...

Why not get In touch with a local member if the learning curve is too steep right now?

You have an exhaust fitted?
If so, likely code is P0420

What were you doing when the light came on?
