Car Forum / Subaru Cars / May 2006OBD II
Can anyone tell me if my 94 legacy 2.2L have OBD II, if not what do I have. Reason for asking was I suspect that I have some sort of sensor problem, starting in a warm morning the car runs very rough in the beginning to a point almost stall. replace the temp sensor condition remain the same.thinking about get a scanner myself,(what kind?) because dealer charge $90/hour. Thanks James Try autozone and see if they have a scanner for yor car. In older vehicles, normally you could read the codes using the Check engine light after activating the diagnostic mode by conecting a wire, moving a switch or something similar. http://www.iequus.com/item.asp?cid=3&pid=3173 then read the pdf manual for ideas on how to read the code. > Can anyone tell me if my 94 legacy 2.2L have OBD II, if not what do I have. > Reason for asking was I suspect that I have some sort of sensor problem, > starting in a warm morning the car runs very rough in the beginning to a > point almost stall. replace the temp sensor condition remain the > same.thinking about get a scanner myself,(what kind?) because dealer charge > $90/hour.

Thanks James IIRC, OBDII didn't hit until '96. You may be able to do the paperclip jumper trick with your scooby. > Can anyone tell me if my 94 legacy 2.2L have OBD II, if not what do I > have.

Thanks James Actually Suby had OBD-II in 1995, I have it on my '95 Outback, but it was not required for all US cars until 1996. Bob Wilson > IIRC, OBDII didn't hit until '96.

Thanks James Looking further: At http://www.obdii.com/connector.html there are details on pre-1996 OBD-II compliant machines. Apparently among Subarus it was only Legacys with automatic transmission, which fits my '95 Legacy Outback.

Thanks James If no further info comes in this group, try posting at www.usmb.net . Others ARE correct that you do not have OBDII and will need to read the codes probably using some connectors under the dash (green?) that will caues the CEL lihjt to blink a pattern. Also, if you did not 'clear' the CEL after changing your temp sensor, try disconnecting the neg. batt. cable, stepping on the brake pedal, wait 20-30 minutes and reconnecting the battery. If the CEL comes back, use whatever method is required to read the new code.

Thanks James You can find the procedure for retrieiving codes yourself here- http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/ Note that if the check engine light is not on, there may not be any stored codes to be read out. If there are any codes they will be old and the conditions that set them may no longer exist. There are no scanners available for your car, at least not at reasonable cost.
