How to diagnose an ABS light on 2000 outback


Recommended Posts

my obd 2 reader won't pull a code, I have instructions for a 99 that involves plugging into an electrical connector and watching the light for morse code style blinks that tell you different problems, I don't suppose its the same on 2000? any help apreesh.

yes it's the same basic process (if not identical).  plug is above gas pedal - ground the proper pin and it spits the code at you. 

 

so far every subaru brake code i've ever encountered has been a speed sensor and they're almost always a front sensor.  replace and done.  they fail so rarely that even a used one is an option if that sounds enticing for any reasons - lots of local pull it yourself yards, buddy with a parts car, etc.

hey thanks, Grossgary can you possibly help me find the plug? I have the diagram for the 99 and it shows it above the gas pedal like you say, but I can't find it on the 2000. I thought maybe it just looked a little different on the next generation, but I can't find it on my 97 OBW either. I removed the kick panel on the 2000 OBW still can't find it.n Any advice? what color is the plug? there are lots of plugs in there not connected. Is it screwed to the heater unit? Thanks.
