mountaingoatgruff Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 anyone know how to use one? i have access to an old one and a cartridge that will communicate with the spfi system in my hatch, but the owner doesn't remember the details of how to use it. the obvious things are easy of course, but i don't understand the letter/number screens (do they represent wiring & connectors?) and i don't know what the light up numbers below the screen are for. also, i don't know if there's any more functions than just plugging in and turning on. or would this be better to ask in the new gen forum?

Here's a link where you can download the manuals so you can get the service codes for "On-Board Diagnostics": http://www.onlinefreeebooks.net/automotive-machinery-power-equipment-ebooks/subaru/1996-subaru-legacy-service-manual-owners-manual-service-supplement-tsb-pdf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And codes for New Gens are totally different than Old Gen. The readers to not cross-reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have a FSM for my '97 Impreza which has a whole chapter on specific diagnostics using the select monitor. I can copy them off for you and mail them if you think it will help. Also, try danbob on nasioc and he might be able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
