johnceggleston Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 does any one have any idea what would happen if i put a computer from a 1998 california outback (low emissions) into a non-california 1998 outback ? a local yard has one for cheap, but i don't want to buy a head ache. 1998 outback ECU# = 22611 AD62A (low emissions, calif.) 1998 outback ECU# = 22611 AD60A (fed. car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The cali cars have a few more sensors and solenoids in the tank and evap. Probably would get a cel for what's missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I'm going to test this tonight...if you can wait. My '98 Forester is Federal and I was sold a CA-spec ECU (hopefully I'l learn to ask for pics one of these days! ). I bought it as a backup (long story), but wanted to test it anyway. How much is it @ the yard? I'll be selling this one... If it works/No CELs, it should work in any Legacy/Forester from '97-98.

subaru360 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I get them for 10 bucks at the junkyard here. I've got an extra one somewhere, no sure if its ca or fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 most want 50$ or more, the one i found is $25. it's at a pick-n-pull but when i learned it was not my part number i never got around to asking if it was in the car or on the shelf. there web site is crap and i have tried repeatedly to down load the price list and i can't. i don't know what the u-pull-it price is.

wtdash Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 FWIW: 1998 California ECU worked fine in my non-CA / Fed 1998 Forester. No CEL. Cold start>>10 mile freeway loop. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
