BSOD2600

I've owned the car for a year now after the 5MT swap. The past week is the first time I've EVER had the ABS light come on. I've had the ABS system engage many times, both on dry/wet/snow under heavy braking; so I'm fairly sure it's just fine. Now I know how to read the ABS codes, I'll be doing that each time the abs light turns on. Once there isn't any snow on the ground, I'll more closely check the ABS sensors on each wheel, check for rust, etc.

ericem: I took the car to les schwab and had them look over stuff briefly. The tech in the Alignment center it all looks fine. I'll consider playing around with it more when there isn't any snow on the ground. porcupine73: Interesting, since mine is a 94 AWD TW (which of course was originally 4EAT before I switched to 5MT). Skip: It's the red wire. Either I didn't make a good ground connection or something. But it only would enter diagnostic mode every other time I turned the key to ON. Between Les Schwab and another subaru shop I called (Smart-Service), they both think everything is probably alright and it's just the computer freaking out. The excessive slipping in the front/rear throws it off.

thanks! I got it! It WAS that abs check connector in the kick panel. Forget if I had originally only turned the ignition to ACC instead of ON. Anyways the three codes it threw were: 24 - Left Front Sensor (Short), 26 - Right Rear Sensor (Short), 29 - Tone Wheel. I'll clear them out and see what comes back.

I realize if the abs light isn't on, it's functional. Problem is that with all this snow, the light some time DOES turn on and thusly no more ABS. I want ABS on snow. After more research, I believe I've got the newer ABS-2E system. That means there is no LED on my ABS unit. Instead, I have to enter abs diagnostic mode by grounding a wire to the "L terminal" of some connector... and then my ABS light should flash. Supposedly it has long term memory too and will keep 3 codes (where as the rest of the early legacy models don't keep any at all). Well I found a 2-pin connector near my fuses: I tried grounding each one to the body while having the ignition on / run. Neither resulted in any flashing codes. So not entirely sure if I've got the correct connector or if I'm doing something else wrong.

First off, search seems broken since it can't find anything with "abs". On my 94 TW, the ABS light on the dash has come on several times in the past few days. We've gotten a lot of snow here, so I REALLY want my ABS functional. Turning the car off and on again, clears the ABS memory and often it'll work fine again -- for a while. My tires are within ~2 lbs of each other, even though they look low due to the cold. This is the first time I've had issues with the ABS, so I'm fairly sure it's some how related to all the snow. I know the ABS module is under the passenger seat and how to read the LED codes. The problem is, I just can't see the LED on mine at all when looking in the carpet hole. Mine is part number 26720AA210, which doesn't even show up in the stock 90-94 part catalog. Anyone know exactly what year/model it's from? Anyways, where EXACTLY is the LED on the ABS module, relative to its part number sticker?

When I changed the fuel filter on my 94 TW, I unplugged the harness from the fuel pump (easily accessible from under the carpet in the back) and ran the car until it died (a second). Opened the gas cap. Barely was any fuel pressure in the system and a minimal amount squirted out. Quick and painless replacement.

I've always wondered about those non-functional hood scoops on N/A cars. Whats the deal with those anyways?

I've got a 94 TW as my daily driver. The brother is thinking about buying a 98 GT, 62K miles, 5-speed. We're test driving it this weekend. Yes, I know about the dohc 2.5L headgasket issue. Figure he's got ~40K miles before it needs replacing, right (unless there are obvious signs of leaking in the creamy oil or hydrocarbins in the coolant)? Check for torque bind, struts, warped brakes, clutch play / noises, fluid leaks, etc. What are the known problems with this year of Subaru?

Had a friend take pics of most cars during the rally: http://cab218.aisites.com/

Well I bled the clutch and no air came out, so it must be something else.

It's suppose to be wired so it thinks it's always in neutral: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=18370

My tranny fluid is red and I've got a 5MT.

My 94 wagon had a JDM 4.11 5MT swapped into in ~2 months ago. The rest of the parts were off another SS. Anyways today I parked on a steep hill, with the car facing up it. Several hours later, I got in and drove off. The first stop sign I came to (~200ft away from where the car was parked), the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. I pulled it and it popped back. After that happened, I can tell the clutch feels softer -- its easier to depress. Additionally, the clutch engages a LOT later now. I don't think the clutch is slipping, since when driving up a hill it seemed to be ok. The clutch's master cylinder is full of fluid are there are no leaks from the hoses. Is this a sign of air in the clutch master cylinder or the the master cylinder going out? If the cylinder IS going out, any reason to upgrade it to a WRX one?

You forgot about sales tax ;-). I got a full set of new KYB GR-2's for $200 from a Subaru guy online. I decided to install them myself and it took me ~3 hours. Took it down to Les Schwab for an alignment and other minor things they found for ~$120. I initially was just going to try and get a shop to install the KYB's but most wouldn't. Those that would, were quoting me an additional $550-700.
