2016 WRX Warning Indicator Problem

[About61Goats]

So, here is the story, I have a 2016 WRX with about 5900 miles. I left the car in a parking lot for about a week on base so no one could have touched it. The car ran perfectly with no problems at all but when I got back I found out that it had been snowing everyday and had reached temperatures as low as -33F. I started up the car no problem and it drives just the same as it always did. Except my dashboard had several warning lights. The ABS, Check Engine, Hill start assist, and Vehicle Dynamics Control lights were all present. I used my accessport and got this error (waistegate turbocharger solenoid "A" low). I tried clearing it but it wouldn't clear. I took it to the dealership but they wouldn't look at it or else it might void the warranty. Any help I can get would be very much appreciated, thank you so much.

HI and Welcome,

 

I don't know what would cause that unless something was wet, froze, cracked>>Broke. Did you CLEAR all the codes w/the AP and see what came back?

 

Please explain or fix a typo: "I took it to the dealership but they wouldn't look at it or else it might void the warranty"

 

If you left your COBB AP attached when you took it in, this might make sense...and if you did, and they 'noted it', you may have warranty issues in the future - technically I've read that that they  CAN NOT deny a warranty claim if the modification (mod) did not cause the issue, but that can be hard to prove.

 

I'd go over on NASIOC.com and read up on related issues.

 

GL,
