Hi Guys,
I decided to check if there are any trouble codes that my car is experiencing...too my disappointment, there is a longs list. I've been struggling to find articles/write-ups on what each of these codes mean...can anyone here please help me understand what is what, and I also would like to know, which codes are of great concern to the life of my motor.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards, P*
P.S. I have a Greddy Electronic Boost Controller fitted, and have recently reverted back to the stock air-box, from an Injen CAI.

thats a long list, but keep in mind that ecuexplorer does not read DTCs 100% correctly. So some of them might not be true, only way to be 100% is to use an OBDII scanner

I'm really starting to get worried. Just hope if any of these errors are true, they not going to be fatal to the motor!
Does anyone here have experience with these codes?
Thinking that all the Solenoid codes are due to me fitting a Greddy EBC, therefore leaving the OEM Solenoid open to pick up errors...hoping this is the issue...

Please, please, please, use a real code scanner. The code scanning in Ecuexplorer is JUNK. I would never use it to diagnose a car's problems.
I really wish code scanning was never added to our loggers. It causes nothing but confusion for people. If it isn't 99.9% right 99.9% of the time it is not useful. This is repeatedly an issue for people because they see the "code scanner" button and assume it actually works worth a damn, which is does not. We'd all be better off without this capability so we were forced to use a real code scanner that reads correctly 99.9% of the time. /end rant.
The 2005 WRX can't even issue half of those codes (i.e. the ones related to ETC and AVCS) and it sounds like your MIL isn't on. Try a real OBD-II scan tool.
