I really need to (finally) get my ABS fixed for this winter and an inspection. The ABS light is on (Solid, unblinking) and ABS definitely does not work. My car is a 2007 (may be important).
As far as I know, there are two ways to diagnose:
1) OBD2 code scanner
2) Diagnostic connector
OBD2 Code Scanner
The only one that i KNOW works is the one at the Subaru dealership.
Some of the handheld ones claim to pull ABS codes, but usually from GM, Honda, Ford but not specifically Subaru.
So:
Does anyone know of a specific hand-held that works for ABS on a Subaru?
Diagnostic Connector
There is allegedly a 6-pin connector under the dash near the green test-connectors. In my searching, some people claimed it was removed for [I think] MY05. I spent a good while searching, including feeling every taped-up wire bundle for lumps that could be hidden connectors and did NOT find it.
So:
Does anyone know for sure if it is or is not on a 2007? If so, specifically where it is? I would love to check the following two places: 1) a MY07-specific wire diagram or 2) a MY07-specific service manual for ABS diagnosis.
Are there any methods that I've missed? I don't believe my AP will read ABS codes. Does the Tactrix/RomRaider/Open-Source read ABS? I have a OBD2-USB cable that I can use.
If anyone can help me out I'd be very thankful!
