I have done it on a 2018 crosstrek aswell.

Thank you Joe and the Practical Mechanic!! I think this just might be a fix! Did this yesterday to 2018 Crosstrek Premium, code P00019 that came on with a delayed oil change. Spent lots of money having a mechanic change cam oil exhaust solenoid, then stated didn't know what else to do. Took it to a Subi private mechanic who scoped and state absolutely everything in the engine is working as it should be but could not get the code to re-set. Used a ThinkDiag2 with iPhone, have so far driven 3 times about 15 miles total, power in lower gears is restored and no CEL light!!! The Subaru XV forum has deets on this but, if anyone is wondering: use your 30 amp spare fuse (in the lid of the fuse box) and your grey fuse puller (middle of lower row in fuse box). The test fuse open spot is the far left lowest (closest to you) spot. Thank you, thank you, thank you Practical Mechanic!!!!!!

Just ran into this issue. 2018 impreza 2.0. Couldn't get learned values back into range after repair. This trick worked perfectly. You are a genius. ALL DATA and Identifix have no info on this.

This is literally rhe most useful thing i have ever found on you tube.

You just saved my customer a lot of money! Previous shop had replaced the vvt solenoid so I think that was the culprit for learning those values. But I followed this procedure and it's all good now. Thank you!

I ordered the thinkidiag2 and had a really hard time with it. First, it took about 45 minutes before I finally got it to connect to my iPhone. Then I couldn’t find the test mode toggle. It’s buried in the menus. Under “Engine”, I think. I had to keep entering the vin too , it kept forgetting it for some reason. After a total of about 90 minutes, I finally got to test mode. Then, the code was already gone. So I’m not sure what I did to actually delete it. A week later, still no code on the car though. The poor car was “on” but not running nearly the entire time. Time will tell but it might now be fixed. But I’ll probably be returning the thinkdiag2. If I get another tool it’s going to be one that doesn’t have to connect to another device like a phone.

Thinkdiag+ software and Autel MaxiDAS DS808S is not capable of thiis procedure on my 2011 Forester X. It will not erase the permanent P0018 (fyi with engine running Left intake VVT angle is 18 degres) because it does not have Test Mode. What it does have is " Dealer Inspection Mode" which has a different function. Also in live data mode it does not have VVT initial position learning values section. Are these scanners not capable or is the ECM program of my vehicle is not set up for Test Mode as newer cars? Please help and I thank you Practical Mechanic for the vids.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek. I used ThinkDiag not ThinkDiag2. The cheaper version has the same Test Mode Change functions. Stepwise I cleared codes the typical way. Took for short ride and then could see the P0018 codes was pending, ie, the CEL would come back on soon. Tried this with two diff code readers. Then used ThinkDiag as described here. Cleared codes. Took for two ~10 mile rides... no CEL and No pending codes. Will update as we put more miles on the car. Did not check to see if the learned values cleared. Next iteration if CEL comes back on.

If so, it is still not documented anywhere in service information or on the scantool. If it was a release on the scantool, they would probably make it more user-friendly with steps to follow under special functions VVT relearn.

I’ve tried driving the vehicles after and nothing changes. Is this an issue with the ThinkDiag unit? I have SSM3&4 so I don’t need a full blown scanner and the ThinkDiag was the most cost effective way to accomplish this. Any insight would be much appreciated.

If you have ssm4 and flashwrite then you should try the most recent flash file. Subaru has added some calibrations that will allow the values to continue to learn back down.

Hey Chad, recently my 2016 WRX got the dreaded P0016 code and both my usual shop and Subaru dealership service department ran through the TSB diagnostics and determined that intake cam sprockets and ECM needed to be replaced. It's a hefty repair bill and half of it is due to the cost of a new ECM! My mechanic showed me the VVT Initial Position Learning Value was about 6 degrees over the maximum range which is apparently now "burned into the ECM". Would this method give me a chance at not having to replace the ECM if I were to get the sprockets replaced for my WRX? Alternatively, do you think a used ECM would be a feasible option if this method doesn't work? Thanks!

Thanks. For $160 will give it a try for our 2017 Crosstrek. Sounds like the lowest cost tool/software.

Chad now we need a procedure for these pesty Hyundai Tucson. Lol.

Do the Hyundais have a similar issue? I don’t see many Kia and Hyundai vehicles.

Works man thanks 2018 Impreza 2.0 replaced engine after timing chain and phasers where smoked from no oil. Learned values would not reset. Did this with my Launch x431 5 pro. Thanks. Alldata and identifix have nothing useful on this issue.

Glad it helped. We struggled for years with this before pushing enough buttons to get them to reset.

Where is the test fuse spot located? I can’t find any literature on it.
