Error Code Checking - Rev D

[Guest]

Hi there,

Does anyone here able to check the codes on the Denso ECU's as they can't be checked the same as the JECS ECU's?? just wanns get em' checked... Winger charge $60.00!!

No, they need to be checked with a scanner.

You can check it manually, but you need the full list of fault codes for your specific vehicle, as the code flashed out is that number code in the list, ie 13 isn't cam angle sensor, but the 13th code on the list. They're a PITA.

See here for the Subaru "P" fault codes. OBDII codes.txt

Thanks Boostin. So if it can be done manually, how would you go about it... the plugs that are used on the JECS ecu's arn't on my car (denso ecu).. I'm sure i read on the net recently about how to do it, involved pressing the trip meter button a few times and turning the ignition on and off and a few other things...

I know that that the codes can't be cleared easily without the OBDII scan... something about 'a volatile ram'.

Any ideas if ecuExpoler is any good... might buy a lead for my laptop..

It's checked and cleared the same way as earlier ECU's. Black connectors to check, black and greens to clear.

You could try that tool. You just need to get a USB to OBDII cable.

Okay, i can't for the life of me find any such connectors... i can see them on my mates 2000 B4... to be honest, i don't think the Rev D's have these with the Denso ECU - bugger!

Have to buy the lead for the PC... downloaded all the free software for ecuExplorer... see how we go.

there just not taped up so you cant see them?

Ask SpotMe. He found his ones.

[GravelBen]

No trouble finding mine either.

[Guest]

Hey Gravelben,

Where exactly did you find em?? Iv'e had the plastic off under the steering column and the ignition cover too.. can't spot em...

[Guest boostin]

You are looking above where your feet are? Not above the knee area?

[GravelBen]

Above your left ankle when driving. Try lying on your back on the floor and shining a torch up behind the plastic cover in case they've been taped up out of the way.

Our Rev.C B4 has them. Were tucked up - had to get in with a torch like GravelBen suggested.

[Guest keltik]

Probably doesnt help but my Rev D H6 flashes out codes for me. Its still got the good ol' white plugs under the steering column.

The last code i got from it was easy enough to google. It also has a Denso ECU

[Guest]

Woohoo!! found them... man they were right in front of me... was looking too far back!! anyways, she's all clear, no codes 8)
