Does anyone have a link to wiring diagrams for the 99 forester? I have a ATF oil temp light blinking at me on start up after doing some engine work.

I suspect there is a line pinched, grounded, broken, or sensor is damaged since the light comes on immediately after starting. I am going to try a visual inspect of wiring to see if I can find it

Any suggestions on where to look? Again, If you can show me a link to electrical diagram or point me in the right direction that would be helpful. I am a rookie.

Thanks in advance.

It means the TCU has STORED a code. Here's an attachment on how to read that code.

Hey Ferret.

We meet again...

So what does this mean? I think it is the 2 hz interzal blinking which means the AT system is normal but why am I getting this code? What should I do?

I'll double check it tonight and get back to you.

Thanks for coming through yet again.

Read the 2nd page. Is it just constantly blinking, or are there breaks? Might the green diagnostic connectors under the dash been plugged in?

Here's what the various codes mean:

I'll also check those green cables under the dash tonight. I was trying to find the fuel pump relay down there so something may have been tampered with...

New development

Went out last night to check the DTC and the battery was completely dead. What would cause this? In connection with possible elec. problems?

I started a new thread after finding out what the DTC was. Turns out to be something with the pressure control solenoid circuit:
