If your Subaru overheats out on freeways and while driving up hills, it’s likely due to a lack of coolant flow to the radiator. If the car has ‘thrown a code,’ then it means the ECU has detected something awry and has logged a code so that techs can begin diagnosis. The codes give a very accurate, high-level picture of the engine’s condition. Today’s cars are basically rolling computers, and the ECU will ‘throw a code’ if it detects something is wrong with the engine. A code reader is essentially an embedded computer (called the ECU, or Electonic Control Unit) module that a dealership uses to scan the engine for ‘diagnostic’ codes so they can see what’s wrong at a glance. Either way, a fan can be diagnosed with the use of a code reader. By way of contrast, in domestically made applications, fan speeds are activated by the powertrain control module. With applications made abroad - including parts made by the Japanese automaker - the speed of the cooling fan is controlled by a pulse–modulated fan motor. Cooling Problems Due to Fan FailureĪs with most vehicles, if a Subaru overheats while being driven at slow speeds, it’s likely a failure of the cooling fan to power up completely. Fortunately, it’s possible to keep your Subaru in good driving condition as long as you have the proper information, perform the needed maintenance and keep reputable stop–leak products on hand should the need arise. Such has been the case with Subaru 2.5L models, which are known for cooling system issues. Unfortunately, such problems are hard to identify, they’re costly to repair. Sometimes, however, things go awry, and a car experiences cooling problems that make it difficult - if not outright dangerous or impossible - to continue driving.
