James, as Carl says, it is OBD : On-Board Diagnostics.

You can find a basic reader/scanner for $50 on www.changeE85.com.

I got one from AutoTap that has a few more bells and whistles: www.autotap.com,
for about $130.

(The professionals will spend thousands of dollars for a scanner that
contrains lots more information.)

Both of the cheaper ones use your laptop as a display.

Any idea where the ODB connector is in a 2002 wrx? What type is it A or B? Can any general purpose ODB II reader be used? I'm interested in PC-based reader because of the software flexibility. Any recommendations on hardware and software (trying to keep it under $100)? Posted from http://www.teranews.com
