Read engine, ABS, and TCU codes on a 2005-2009 Legacy Outback without a code reader

- Got a CEL light on but don't have a code reader? 2005-2009 Legacys and Outbacks have one built into the cluster. 2005s need a white diagnostics connector hooked up to work. It's tucked inside the fuse panel just inside the drivers (LHD) door by your knee. It may possibly be wrapped in (blue?) tape. There is a pair of green connectors as well but those aren't needed for this.
Once the white connectors are joined put the key in the ignition, turn the key to on, and press the trip button that's just below the gas gauge once while the gauges start sweeping. Any stored codes will be displayed in the odometer display.
2006-2009 have a slightly different method. Link describing how to use that here: www.subaruoutback.org/forums/9... - Авто та транспорт
It is so hard to find videos for this engine. You are a hero, Donald.
For 2005 outback xt at least, they are there but they are really tucked up in there. They are paired with the green connectors he was talking about
I wish I knew this when I had my 2005 Outback, it would have been so handy!
Sometimes those wires can be found below the glovebox.
Thanks man! I was wondering if these were similar to my 1992 legacy and has connectors to plug in to read codes
Brilliant thank you. Worked for my 05 Legacy 2.51 but there were no codes in memory even tho CEL had been earlier that day
08 Outback XT. Not seeing these connectors. Also looking at FSM I see nothing. My green test mode connectors are on passenger side kick panel by ECU. Same as when I had 05 OBXT. Still looking for a way to read ABS codes. In the fuse panel area the FSM shows 181 and 182 as a "short connector". I found it and one of the plugs is a loop of wire connecting the other 2 wires of the other plug.. Like it's name indicates. Not sure the purpose of this but it looks similar and in a similar location to what you're showing in this video.
Does er55 mean anything? My abs light came on and cruise control stopped working
What is generation 3?
What year please?
Does it say generation 3 on the car somewhere that i can look for?
Thank uou
I have a 2005 Subaru Outback. I don't see the white connectors to connect. Do I need to remove the panel underneath the fuse panel (by unscrewing the screw holding it in place)?
yes, Its much easier to access the interior of the fuse panel when removing the lower dashboard panel under the steering wheel. Yes, there are indeed 2 sets of green and white connectors located there, both sets are taped together with blue coloured tape. ( 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0L H6 )
Me aparecio el codigo er hc y aora le doi contacto y no aparese el chec engine en el subaru new legacy 2004 2.0i
anybody know if this would work on a 2005 wrx?
And what is the purpose of the green connector?
Green connectors: Dealer Check Option - for activating sensors, valves etc
i have a 2009 legacy and i took of the side panel next to the door and they do not exist unfortunately
Different method for 09 www.subaruoutback.org/threads/05-06-09-how-to-read-diagnostic-trouble-codes-dtcs.19053/
It’s a gen 4 btw
No white ir green connector
same i dont see any on mine
It’s a gen 4
You Subaru has 216,000 miles or is that kilometers
Looks to me like kilometers don't think an outback is doing 240
MPH*
If you look it right km/h
@@DrewsLair my 05 xt has 270,000 miles. Vf52 turbo, 300 hp, and I beat the hell out of it. Original engine
These 2 white connectors you speak of do not exist in my 2005 Outback. I have 1 White connector and 1 Green connector.
They are tucked away above the fuse panel. There will be 2 sets of a green and a white connector taped together. It's there just dig around for it.
YES!... there are indeed 2 sets of green and white connectors (1 Female set and 1 Male set... each set of connectors are taped together with blue coloured tape ). Inside the fuse box area of my 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0L H6 with 5 speed Automatic Transmission.
Its much easier to access the interior of the fuse panel when removing the lower dashboard panel under the steering wheel. Connected the white connectors together and received my error codes. Thank you for indicating this!
It helps to remove the left side panel that is normally facing the door. You can see the connectors taped in there then.
That does not work
These wires do not exist on my 2005 outback
Neither does mine.
I stand corrected! Take the knee panel off and they're indeed taped together with blue tape, right above the fuse panel. This works.
takes more than a quick glance
