Hi all

Sorry if this has been asked a million times. Does a 1995 Uk Turbo have a diagnostics port? If so where is it as the ABS light is showing on my dash and i need to see if anything comes up.

Cheers

David

Thank you, i appreciate that, am a bit of a noob with the search function. Can you advise at all, if my ABS light is perm on does that mean there is a fault or the ABS is faulting?

It means there is a fault, I wouldn't like to say at this point. Pull the code and post it up if your not sure and someone will be able to advise the next step

Had a look for the connector tonight, can't seem to find it, anyone have a picture?

Scooby David

iTrader: (3)

Anyone? I need to find it asap so i can get the light switched off for the weekend.

It probably won't be as easy as that, the light is obviously indicating a problem that needs fixing first.

Scooby David

iTrader: (3)

Obviously, but until i can find the port i cant check the code, find out whats wrong and then fix it at the weekend!

unless you have the subaru diagnostic equipment the plug is pretty useless, have you looked at the link above to see how to check the fault codes?

Scooby David

Apparently mine doesnt have a plug as such that you put anything into, just a connector that i put a wire onto to read the code on the dash, but i cant find the connector so was hoping someone could post a pic so i could have a small chance in finding the correct connector.

yours does have a plug but not OBD2, the wires are up by the steering colomn and have usually been taped up by a alarm installer, if you need a picture to see what they look like google it.

Ok guys, been out playing today and still couldnt find the said cable and plug however another search on google directed me to another site and after reading i established there are two small black plugs that if i plug together will illuminate a 'check engine' light. I done this and the 'check engine' light illuminated one long and then one quick flash (or visa versa) which going by the link on this thread for the codes is the starting light so means there is no faults!? However i still have an ABS light illuminated, can anyone advise if the ABS is faulty as this doesnt seem to be my fault light - well not if i have a check engine light as well?

Any help gratefully received, i really need it MOT's tomorrow.

Thanks

It should be right down in the pedal well, under the steering column, there should be 2 green connectors there as well.



If pic doesnt work it's on this page http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.p...ontrolSolenoid

I have found the connectors, but when plugging in the black ones the check engine light appears to show no faults, but i still have the ABS light showing which everyone else said should flash. Does this mean the actual ABS is faulty?

What are the green connectors for?

check your rear brake lights. if both bulbs are out it'll throw the ABS light

ABS faults do not show with the plugs under the steering column.

the "Check Engine Light" is a good clue that when it lights it involves the "Engine" and Engine only!

Scooby David

The answer i was looking for kind of i guess. Rear brake lights are fine, so i guess the ABS is at fault? Whats the easiest way to determine the problem?

info here for you on what to do. you basically need to check the sensors

I dont have any engine faults, by the ABS light being lit i assume i have an ABS fault.

Look a bit harder for the black abs connector

It will be nearer the black and green for the check engine codes

SHUGSTERC

if u do wot i suggested bud itll reset all sensors and if there is a prob with ebs itll show up again...my car would never start wen cold wen i got it had c/e on dash..befoer i replaced the water temp sensor i reset and it started on the button straight after...still does now

The OP is referring to the abs light not check engine light. The green and black only reset the ecu. The abs has a separate module and it's own diagnostic procedure.

SHUGSTERC

ok stand corrected....ignore me mate do wot he says hehe

Scooby David

Sorry to sound like a bumb ***, as well as the two black and two green somewhere under the steering column there is also another black connector just for the ABS?

not a fix but if you just want it to pass the mot then simply remove the abs bulb... i was told this by a friendly mot tester....

it will pass this year but not next year due to changes in the mot test procedures

it worked for me just 2 weeks ago... for safety though it needs fixing properly asap

Er.... Not true! It's part of the test for the light to illuminate for a specified time as detailed on the testers vt40. FAIL !!!!
