stants Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What year is it ? If pre 2000 there's two self test diagnostic wires like this http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2366-Manually-Reading-ECU-Codes Or if it's later than 2000 it will have an odb2 port just in front of your knee as you sit down in the seat below the steering wheel, Just to confuse matters older cars also have a hole there but it's for the subaru select monitor which is a dealer only diagnostic tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy lil lady Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 It's a 1997 model would that be a dealer diagnostic tool or could we check it ourselfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 you can check yoursef, If you stick your head under the steering column between the pedals and plastics you should see a forest of wires the self check plugs will be up there, maybe taped up, connect the smaller black ones together and the check engine light will blink out the codes mentioned above in the line if there are any, if not will just flash at a constant rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
