hey peeps got a 98 s reg turbo wagon with a obd2 port under steering wheel anyone used this port or no a scanner that will work?

 

Subaru are not OBD compliant until new-age unfortunately

 

So why the port it has power to it

 

I think late 98 onwards do have OBD sockets. Mine has SSM or whatever it's called as mine is a 97 car.

 

as above its there for the Subaru Select Monitor but doesn't comply with OBD2 connection

 

I have a v reg 2.0 wagon and although my obd2 plugs in there is no response from it when put on Subaru or others but I thought all cars after 98 were supposed to be obd2 compliant or does it only apply to the states

 

only applies after around 01/02 in the UK...........

new-age Impreza's are compliant but nothing older

 

anyone no a scanner that would work

 

no scanner would work, what you trying to do ?

 

just like ta check things out mate if theres something on my car i cant use i dont like it lol

 

its pretty useless unless your remapping , im not sure what its actorly for ? you can scan the ecu for fault codes with the plugs under steering column

 

thats the one im on about its the shape of a obd 2 socket

 

na rite under the column where the pedals are theres 2 black 2 green , have a search on here how to do it mate, yo7u can read what codes are presant and then clear and reset the ecu

 

arr sweet ta mate

 

make sure you read the instructions a few times, can be tricky reading the codes , as it flashs the checkengine light you have to count the flashs

 

yep gona be tricky

 

il copy and paste a link to the guide i used , after a couple of times youl remember how to

 

ta mate
