2010 Subaru Forester P0026 Fault - RH Oil Switching Solenoid Valve and RH Oil Pressure Switch Replacement

O que você precisa

  1. 2010 Subaru Forester P0026 Fault - RH Oil Switching Solenoid Valve  and  RH Oil Pressure Switch Replacement, Check the fault code: passo 1, imagem 1 %32
    • Firstly, you will need an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) scanner to verify the fault code P0026. Follow your scanners instructions to verify the fault. My scanner advised me that I had a Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Range/Performance (Bank1) Fault.

    • I recommend doing some web searches of the fault code to get an understanding of what the fault affects and also other possible causes. If you are satisfied that the fault is being caused by solenoid or switch then proceed with this guide.

    • Disconnect the Negative (Black) Terminal of the battery.

    • Remove the Air Intake Chamber by removing the two mounting bolts. Loosen the three air hose clamps and remove air hose section. Disconnect the three vacuum hoses and lift the chamber out of the engine compartment.

    • If required, undo the screw and loosen bracket to provide access to the switch and solenoid ( I didn't need to)

    • The bracket and electrical connector is located directly under the section of air intake hose removed in the previous step.

    • Disconnect the electrical plugs from the solenoid and oil pressure switch.

    • Use a size 24 socket with extension bar to remove the Oil Pressure Switch.

    • The bolt is located under the solenoid out of view. Use a size 10 socket to undo the bolt. Then remove the solenoid. You may need to use some force or multi grips to remove the solenoid.

    • Apply liquid gasket to the Oil Pressure Switch threads. If you have a torque wrench, torque the switch to 17 Nm (12.5 ft-lb). The switch goes in tight, and it is easy to under torque it which I’m guessing would cause oil leaks.

    • There is a small rubber gasket on the solenoid which needs to be oiled before Installed. Install the solenoid and tighten the size 10 bolt.

    • Reinstall the electrical plug bracket, solenoid and oil switch plugs and air Intake Chamber and associated parts.

    • Make sure the battery is reconnected. The fault code will stay latched unless you clear the fault using an obd scanner. Clear the fault.

    • *when you clear the fault you will also be clearing vehicle performance data. The vehicle might be slightly more difficult to start and may idol rough until it automatically retunes it self.

    • Hopefully this guide fixed your problem at a fraction of the cost of paying someone else to do it.

Thank you! I'm gonna give this a try. My 2010 Forester stalled coming off the freeway and its giving a P0026 code. I feared a cvt issue, I can live with this. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! Im getting a p0026 we changed the vvt solenoid and its still acting up. Will now try changing the oil pressure switch.

Replaced the vvt solenoid and oil pressure switch and still have code P0026 coming up. Switched bank 1 and 2 solenoids, still have the code. Also have bucking at 4000rpm and temp Guage stays in the red but diag tablet says coolant temp is well below 220°
