Supposedly not needed for this.

Since my scanner can't read the actual codes from the TCU, I don't even know what the issue is. So now I *really* can't drive it. I ordered the one that may be able to, but it won't be here until tomorrow.
All the solenoids still ohm out at the correct values?

If so, I would at least consider trying a re-learn.

It doesn't give you a manufacturer code you can just Google?

he doesn't have the capability to get to the code to google it.

OBD-II just gives you a P0700 which is "Hey, something's fucky with the transmission". There's no real standard to reach down into the TCU to get the specific codes from there.

subaru is stupid, and has a whole set of sub-codes that you need the special proprietary reader for.

It throws a a standard odb code... but all that code says is "go read the special code"
That's not just Subaru, that's just about everybody. It's built into the OBD-II spec.
 
Aso. Mine will just say manufacturer code and a number, then you just punch in your phone "Subaru manf code 1234" or whatever, but I don't think I've had it on anything as new as 2012, or a Subaru of any kind.

I'm going to check that in a minute. Luckily, there's a plug under the hood where I can do that. If another one is bad, I'm going to punch myself cause this:

With the valve body on the bench, I said, "Hey self, you should probably check the other ones just in case." Then, "Nah, it's totally just this one."

edit: Also, I can't do a relearn. Although I guess I could make an appointment with the dealer.
