P0108 & P0244 2005 Subaru Forester errors

Question

Hi. While vacuuming out some animal's nest built in a recess on the front passenger's side of the car engine, I knocked loose a (vacuum?) hose from what looks like a small black diaphragm of some sort although I didn't know I had knocked it loose. I started the car after repairing a leaking fuel line (the reason I was under the hood). The fuel smell was gone from in the car but I noticed the engine light on, so figured I had knocked something loose and went back to check.

I saw the nipple on the diaphragm but as I couldn't see a line for it, figured it was like that. I know. While looking in that small space for the line, I pulled the plug of an electrical connector above it (purple I think) in order to see in there and left that dangling too.

I couldn't find the hose (it was right there, it looked like it was connected to something else) and being an idiot, I started and drove the car with the plug off and the vacuum line off... maybe three miles to see if the fuel smell would fill the car again. During the drive, almost immediately matter of fact, I saw the blinking light (cruise control does not work now) and the yellow check engine light.

Back under the hood after the drive (3 miles?), made the big effort to find the hose, noticed I had left off the electrical connector. Found the hose, reattached it to the diaphragm and plugged in the electrical connector.

Still had the blinking CRUISE CONTROL light and the check engine light on after starting the car.

Got out the trusty Craftsman CANOb02 diag tool and figured the errors needed clearing. Cleared the 0108 error (didn't see the 2044 error until second plug in), started car, both lights still on the dash. Plugged in again, cleared 0108 & 2044 errors, same thing when starting the car - check engine light and CRUISE CONTROL blinking.

Came inside with diag tool, looked up numbers and what they mean. Found this website. Now I'm asking... what the heck do I need to to?

Also, when inside, I turned on the diag too again and found there were, in addition to what I cleared out, four more errors (all the same, the 0108 and the 0244)...

Now I'm thinking I have to clear each error using the diag tool, but figured if you were up for it, I should maybe check to see if I've smooched the pooch and need a service department to look at it, or if you have some insight into what I screwed up under the hood.

thanks. Art

Answer 1

P0108 Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor circuit high input

P0244 Turbo / Supercharger wastegate solenoid "A" Range / Perfomance

For a circuit high code condition this is a disconnected harness , the MAP sensor was disconnected.reconnecting should clear the the code condition with the scan toolIf it does not then the harness may have been bitten through and not making proper connection to the sensor, The hose that are disconnected is for the wastegate with this hose being disconnected you will have a rough idle and with a high idle This connection is at the upper left in diagram.When rodents go into the engine compartment they can also enter into the vehicle and go into the blower motor (this is the fan for heater and air conditioning) Once the scent is in the engine compartment they will keep on returning. Rodent poising may be a option. As fuel smell this becomes a safety issue and should be resolved as soon as possible.
