ECU is probably under pass. footwell. ’95 w/the 4EAT (Auto) and EJ22 had OBD2 on Impreza and Legacy; not on the EJ18 in the Impreza. Not sure about the EJ22 and 5-speed on the Legacy….AFAIK.
What is the yellow connector on a Subaru Impreza?
The yellow connector is the Subaru SSM for Subaru Tech/Mechs to use. You could build a cable and buy/download software (not Subaru-specific) and read info, but it’s not the most user-friendly option. I found the black connectors and it flashed five long and six short.
When did Subaru start using the OBD II?
Subaru didn’t start obd-ii until 96. You need to find the pair of black connectors under the dash and plug those toghether, and then either the CEL or a LED in the ECU will flash codes in 10’s and 1’s (3 long pulse, 2 short = code 32) Thanks. So there are plugs under the dash on the driver’s side that need connecting?
