Hi guys

So my very expensive Snap-On Solus Pro, does not read Subaru's

neither does my small handheld Sealey code reader, so what does?

Thanks, Yodi

 

I guess it depends on what year car you want to connect too.

I have three different obd2 tools and they all connect to my 2006 Impreza.

 

Mines a 99 Uk facelift wagon if that helps, I guess I was just dissapointed when the snap-on didn't connect

 

The 98/99 Impreza even though have an OBD port does not communicate with OBD its Subaru's own protocol as far as I know.

 

Explains why then, Thanks

 

If you can find a reader that supports Subarus SSM Protocol you should be able to read it.

 

You have diag plugs under the dash to show flash codes so no need for a reader

 

:

 

tell me more please?

 

There are 2 green and 2 black plugs up under the steering column, it's ages since I used mine, but by connecting them you can have faults flash up as a code using the engine management light, if I remember correctly you then connect the greens together to do a reset
Someone will be along shortly to correct me,

Further up the loom from those plugs there is another grey one with 2 jumper cables coming off it, this is the same sort of thing , but is for the abs system and will,flash the abs light to give you codes for that too!

If you search through here I'm sure you will find decent instructions
