2023 Subaru Outback — temperature climbs in traffic but drops once moving

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2023 Subaru Outback catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2023 Subaru Outback, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Save the big job until that test fails. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2023 Subaru Outback, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. Checking again after work.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2023 Subaru Outback does it — then decide on parts. Save the big job until that test fails. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'll poke at it this weekend.

Log the conditions before you spend. Move a coil or plug on the 2023 Subaru Outback if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “temperature climbs in traffic but drops once,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.
