Subaru Tribeca Rear Differential Temperature Light. 2006 tribeca subaru rear differential light is on. I have a 2006 AWD Subaru Tribeca with 42000 miles on it. Rear Diff Temp light off noweven when I cold start the carBecoz of raining day outside temp around 13c degree 5560 F So I think maybe the Motul 75W90 is ok this point but lower temp like around 8C degree will make the oil thicker and Rear Diff light is activatedfor the first 12 KM. Can this be caused by uneven tire wear or the rear tires being out of alignment.
It happens mostly with speed range between about 20-45 mlhr. If this light illuminates when the engine is running it may indicate that the rear differential oil temperature is too hot.

I had a problem once where the wire had come undone and would swing against the body and make the light come on.
