So just an update here, and I will probably upload another video. The code came back, but didn’t trigger the check engine light. However, after wiggling the connectors it went away. It did it one more time, so I cleaned the connectors, and it hasn’t came back. I think I’m dealing with dirty plugs or an electrical issue.
Hey, I didn’t have to drain the oil at all, just have some shop towels since you will get a couple of oil drops. I believe that hose is just a vacuum hose. Mine were pretty stuck, so try to be gentle to avoid damaging them. I hope this helps!
I am not a certified mechanic, however, I believe they are vacuum hoses. If you decide to do this yourself, just be careful to not damage then, otherwise you will have to replace them. Additionally, make sure when you put them back on, that the clamps is properly holding the hoses to avoid any air leaks.
I bought a 2017 STI, and after a week this happened to me. I will be replacing those oil control sensors. Hopefully this will do it for me.
Good luck! I hope it works!
Did it fix it

What is the part number for the solenoid you replaced?
did you have to drain the oil for this? Also what was the hose for that you unclamped on that side?

@@15SubieSTI what did the hose belong to that you unclamped in order to get the sensor out?
