What causes a WRX’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your WRX has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the WRX check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your WRX, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your WRX to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

2022 Subaru WRX Drivetrain Service

Your WRX drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Subaru, from back to front.

Care for your 2022 Subaru WRX to maintain its performance power. Follow Subaru's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Subaru WRX Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2022 Subaru WRX drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your WRX might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Subaru WRX.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2022 Subaru WRX? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
