which picture shows the VSS.
Here are some pictures of a disassembled gauge cluster. You can see where the reed switch (VSS) is located behind the speedometer and where the cable hooks up.
They may be useful if you need to take it apart.

Is this what you were looking for. I saved them all to a flash drive because I usually can't find them when I'm looking for them.
-
What year and model? just to know if it is glued in or held in with a rubber gasket.

assuming you are driving a first or 2nd gen legacy 2.2, my experience is 24-26 mpg, yu can estimate 275-325 for mileage, towards 350 if your mileage is good. consider ethanol blend fuel for overall economy.
I get 3mpg better with pure gas.

Isn't that close to the Mile High Flea Market?

Usually with high NOx, there is a problem with the EGR, or catalytic converter, or high combustion temperature (overheating, running lean, vacuum leak).
A high CO reading is a restriction of air mixing with the fuel, check air filter, and sensors dealing with air fuel, MAP OR MAF, o2, ECT, TPS.
Those numbers are pretty high, it would take more than just dumping 10oz of acetone in the tank to pass.

I don't think it will matter which location you go to. What does matter is the attitude of the person doing the testing. I remember reading a thread on AWDPirates about someone failing twice with his WRX or STI, because of the person doing the testing.
I don't think most of them will know the defferance between a 2.2 and a 2.5. They just plug in the OBDll, run it on the rollers with the sniffer up the pipe. I've passed several times with the check engine light on.

Can I can just unbolt the sensors behind the knuckle to check them.
One of your wheel sensors is bad or has dirt/metal flakes stuck to the end, or one of the tone rings is full of crud. Tone ring and sensor are behind the brake rotors. The sensor has 1 bolt securing it to the knuckle.
When you check the sensors, each one should have a small pin on the very end of the sensor. If the pin has corroded away the sensor has to be replaced. -
Hate to say it but I didn't recheck the codes when I got home. I had already turned the car off before remembering to check. I'll be running errands tomorrow and hopefully will think to check for codes.
Does the same code come up when you check the computer?

I finally went to work on this and discovered there wasn't a relay plugged into the ABS motor. I got a relay from the junk yard, now when I drive, the ABS kicks in everytime when I'm nearly stopped. It does this for up to driving about 3 miles, then the light comes on and the ABS doesn't work.

Congratulations on the move. Hopefully the new locations works out for you.

Thanks for the response SubieTrav. I'm feeling dense. Your address leads me to NASIOC, of which I'm a member, but then can't find the thread. Suggestions?
I don't know what happened to that link, I can't get it to work either. I did find this thread here on USMB. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/113645-how-to-read-abs-codes/

HI. My 98 Impreza 2.5RS just threw an ABS warning light. Being several generations earlier than those youv'e been discussing, is there a way to diagnose where the problem is? Thanks to anyone who can help.
Here is how to read ABS trouble codes.
-
The car itself runs and drives, just no noise at all from the ABS motor when I unplugged it. I did some searching online and found a PDF for Legacy and SVX abs system.
-
It has never worked the 4 years I've owned it. I just went out and unplugged the large round connector at the ABS pump and turned the key and nothing. So would the whole pump need to be replaced or can I just replace the motor.
-
My 92 Legacy wagon blinks a code 9 on the abs. Does anyone know what this code is for.
-
Put a floor jack under the brake rotor and lift up. stick a screw driver in one of the bolt holes to help align till you can get a bolt in the other hole.

Woolite or the generic works great for cleaning interiors. For tougher stains, Folex, or Crud Cutter works great. Both can be found at Wal Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
Yesterday I was cleaning the interior of my 92 Legacy wagon and found gear oil spilled on the rear seat and the carpet in the cargo area. I took the seats and carpet out and put them in the back of my Outback and went to the car wash down the street. They look fantastic now.

Do you have to purchase the warrenty at the time you purchase the vehicle? Sometimes they allow you to wait till the existing warrenty is about to expire before purchasing the extended. If you can wait with buying the estended warrenty, it might not be a bad idea to wait and then at a later time decide if you think it is worth it.
-
Are you sure you don't have a error ss code. Check your obdll codes to see if you have a PO500. Might be a bad wheel speed sensor.
-
Have you checked the timeing belt?
-
I have the same problem with my 92 Leg, then after it starts I smell raw gas.

Thanks, I'll try them tomorrow.
CA emissions on 2002 outback
in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
Posted
The emission sticker under the hood should say either CA (50 states) or Federal (49 states). It shouldn't make a differance if the converter is for federal and put on a CA car.
