HELP! I got in my 2015 WRX CVT this afternoon and all of the lights on the dash were on - check engine, ABS, Traction control, cruise control, etc. ALL OF THEM. I couldn't switch out of Sport mode, but overall the car drove as normal (I didn't push it, just tried to get it to pep boys to get the code read). The code "P000B - Engine Position System Performance Bank 2" appeared three times.

I have no idea what this code means. Can anyone help? I scheduled an appointment to have the local dealer look at it tomorrow, but I'd like to avoid the dealer at all cost - no pun intended. Any insight into this code/problem would be greatly appreciated! Below is an image of the code.

u have to give people time to respond and 1 thread is enough.
Service manual says to diagnose this as if it is a P0014 DTC and this has to do with exhaust AVCS.
Says its either a bad oil control solenoid, damaged or clogged oil routing in exhaust cam sprocket/shaft.

I hope someone didn't put the wrong kind of oil in it.

I appreciate the info on the different codes. I wasn't sure if this post went through, so I posted in the other forum. I wasn't trying to flood the blog with my question. My fault.

Thanks again for the help. I'm at the dealer now, so hopefully there will be an easy (and more importantly an inexpensive fix).

Update. It was a faulty sensor. Dealership replaced it free of charge thanks to warranty.

Thanks again everyone for the help!

Going out on a limb here but I'm going to say probably the cam position sensor. This code can also be caused by low oil, bad oil, or wrong viscosity oil and low oil pressure.
