Ok thanks! I will look harder for that connector.

From the 1995 FSM with 2.2L: Warm-up the engine. Turn ignition switch OFF. Turn ignition switch ON. Check if indicator light comes ON. "Move select lever to “D” and connect diagnosis switch to ON.***"[/b] Notice is says the when doing the handshake method to connect diagnosis switch to ON. The three asterisks refer to a footnote on the bottom of page that says this: "Plug in diagnosis terminal to diagnosis connector No. 5 located below instrument lower cover." I would love to know if anyone here on the forum ever had to do this. I believe this is why the handshake method isn't working for me. Sorry about the highlighted words. I couldn't figure out how to remove it.

Hello everyone, So I have a 95 Impreza LX wagon 2.2 with a phase 1 transmission. Just about every article I have read on pulling transmission codes via the "handshake method" doesn't work, nor do I think it applies to phase 1 transmissions but phase II and later. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this. My Impreza recently had torque bind. I replaced the duty c solenoid thinking that was the problem. And if it wasn't the problem, oh well, I'd probably have to replace it sooner or later anyway. But the torque bind is still there and has gotten worse. It even makes a loud groaning noise when making sharp turns. I have the FWD fuse in, but no difference. I also have the 16 flashes of the A/T temp light on start up. I know there's an issue, but I just can't pull the codes. I have read a few threads and articles online about finding a connector and grounding out pin #5 to make the TCU flash the A/T temp light to retrieve the codes. What's frustrating is that I don't know if the connector referenced is the connector under the dash or the connector that plugs into the TCU module itself? If under the dash, maybe someone can direct me to exactly where it's located or even post a picture. I have looked already. If it's the TCU itself, I'm not even sure where that's located. The connector in question is referred to as the B82 connector. One article says it's under the dash another says is on transmission. I don't see it in either place. Thanks for your help in this. Mike
