Ssm plug.

If you have the port should be somewhere to the left of the clutch pedal, mainly on older cars

  • I'm in same position mate, I've just bought an esl cable so I can at least look & log what's going on. I'd buy it mate, i'm. Sure you'll be able to save the file that's already in there so at leas

  • I will be a guinea pig :D     Go for it,learn it,for me yes a little mind field but we all know all of us(ok maybe not everyone) but you know what i mean are capable of doing anything they want. T

  • Yes mate you can tune esl mapped cars with their cable, The evoscan cable should allow you to map flashable ecu's Www.evoscan.com Mines odb 1 which i don't thinkbe compatable with yours. Unless y

Why do you only have 4 pins lol im gonna check mine now lol

I'm on the cusp of odb2 I have the odb2 style port but only odb1 pins.

Where did you get your evoscan lead from.It looks quiet interesting

The website in the post above, they do odb2 stuff aswell, i'm struggling to find the driver for the cable, doing my head in so given up for tonight


Did you get the cable from the states?

I dont think we will be able to tune from the evoscan I think its later cars only

New zeeland mate ! Thought they were a us company till went to pay,

Yeah I deffo can't map with it I wanted it to be able to log more than anything else, as it stands it's useless cos I can't make it connect with laptop so I'm going to ask my mate who works in I.t to have a look before I sell it on

Thought esl was open source software (no licence to use it ) have you tried to search for a free software download or device driver .

Maybe email the company you bought the lead off and ask for some info on connectivity

Right bit long winded but here we go, if I want to map I need esl cable and their software, the software alone won't work with other cables as it has a dongle in.

The evoscan software & cable will allow me to log data and read eml codes, however it's not best by all accounts and you need to manually input your ecu id to make it work correctly, the software is basically an amalgamtion of loads people's reverse engineering of the jecs ecu's so it's buggy at best,

Evoscan customer service is crap I've emailed last week but not heard owt back regarding cable drivers, I need a virtual com port to usb to allow the cable to talk with the laptop, then I have to see if it will read my ecu.

So if I can't get it to work I'll put it on the bay and buy the esl cable & software

Which I know is guaranteed to work


Im staying clear of the evoscan then lol

I've just looked at the evo software for links to drivers and found the taxtrix stuff if you got the evoscan cable and look for ecuflash it gives you loads of stuff about getting into the subaru ecu so that may work rick

From what I understand its for 2001 and newer cars only

Sorry about the pics didn't have time to do it properly

Flashing tool loaded lol.The forums say anything before 2001 carnt be done with tactrix and evoscan


I'd it's odb2 it should work,

If I've no joy connecting your more than welcome to try the cable looks like the ecuflash reads the rom memory decides what version ecu you have then loads the parameters and you can then alter and re flash.

Any idea what ecu number yours is rick ?

I can find out will you have the ecu imformation .I have a spare ecu from a uk 2000 model which in theory I could unlock it with soft ware and make my forester run on that.If I gave you my ecu number from the spare ecu could you check?

I can try mate, worth a pop

Its a Y7 ecu code 22611 AE802 A18-000 D31 9Y12

Cool I'll see what I can dig up may not be this evening, have you had the case off ? Could do with the rom id but I've no idea without plugging it in if you can get it of anything printed inside ?

I will have a look inside no problem.

Ive got the case open what am I looking for

To be honest I'm not sure, any of the chipsets got six digit numbers or number letter combos ?

Can you take a pic ?

Ive emailed Eculabs to see how much there software is
