mitgiraffe Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The check engine light on my 1989 Subaru GL has been on for the last several years. The car runs fine (relatively), but I would like to know what is causing the light to come on. I have tried to read the codes from the ECU, which I was under the impression of being the box right behind my back passenger seat (accessed via the trunk). However, I can find no lights or buttons/wires to manipulate to obtain the codes, so I wanted to verify that I was looking in the right place for this particular model, and if so, what am I missing with this unit? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 give this link a look see and ask any questions you have ECU Codes and reading welcome to the board nice to see more PAians the link is from the repair manual on the page Header here is another http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/ As Glen says the ECU is under the steering col. You must remove the trim panel to see it Your "read memory" connectors (white in color) are under the hood by the drivers side hood hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 You may have the wrong location. The ECU may be near the steering column mounted on the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
