2021 Subaru Outback.

Yesterday I did a 2 1/2 hour road trip to the nearest city for errands. After running around to 6 places it was time to head home. When leaving the city there is a long steep hill that I sudo shift down to 3rd gear. Doing about 50 kph I went to shift from 5th down to 3rd but got a double beeped when attempting 3rd. I thought this a little weird and made a mental note to look into it. I drove about 20km and stopped to visit friends. After about an hour when I started the vehicle the dash was lit up.

! CHECK MANUAL

EYESIGHT DISABLED

COLLITION WARNING DISABLED

LANE KEEPER DISABLED

[i] icon

X MODE icon flashing

Engine icon

Temperature gauge was not working

On the LED side panel it showed…

X MODE not lit and inaccessible

DRIVING ASSISTANCE inaccessible

The engine was in high idle mode and would not idle down.

I disconnected the battery, reconnected it and all the warnings disappeared although the temperature gauge still didn’t work and the idle was still high. I decided to continue the drive home. Everything went fine and average gas mileage was its normal consistency. I used the paddles to downshift when exiting the highway and once again it beeped when attempting 3rd. As a curiosity while doing about 15kph I tried downshifting from 2nd to 1st and it beeped. At a lower speed it did downshift. When at home and in Park the rpm had calmed a bit but was around 950rpm. I turned the vehicle off and restarted it and the dash lit up again. The same happened again with a cold engine start and battery dis/reconnect.

I do have an OBD2 and plugged it in this morning. Lots of faults appeared most of which are Greek to me. One I did notice was the engine temperature had gone into safe mode. If you want me to open and send any of these faults let me know.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
