Looking for a wire harness and ecu for a 96 Legacy 2.5 GT


Recommended Posts

$30 and an address and I can mail you one.

paypal or square - i sent you a PM with my contact info. you can email my username at yahoo if you can't use PM's yet.

 

It's an EJ25 ECU from a 1997 Legacy LSi EJ25.

The little plastic turning handle to release the connector is short from the end being broken off but still turns and works, it's just the connector engagement mechanism.

 

But yes - any 1996-1998 EJ22 or EJ25 ECU will work.

The 99 gt/ob ecu may run the engine, but it will not be happy about it. It will be looking for multiple inputs from the tcu that the earlier ecus do not have. It will also be looking for the fuel temperature sensor and rear evaporative emissions equipment that the 97 and previous do not have.

/Possible tangent, but throwing it out there: I have  '96 Legacy 2.2 L SEDAN that has the Charcoal Canister (CC) in the REAR, underneath on the passenger side; not under the hood in the front passenger side.

 

A '96 Outback 2.5 ECU would NOT  work as the CC is in the front and caused a purge valve CEL; a '99 EJ25D ECU didn't work and caused multiple CEL's  - as noted above it's looking for '99 TCU/TCM, too. I ended up using a '98 EJ25D GT/OB ECU as it has the CC in the rear and matches my '96 config. (Running an EJ25D ECU for more fuel (i hope) for my turbo.)

 

This may be unique to the '96 EJ22 Sedan version, but may want to make sure yours matches if you choose to go to a different year.

 

/End Tangent
