Sorry guys, I can not start a new topic because I'm new to the forum, so i'll ask this on the closest subject topic I could find.
I have a question about my grandpa's old 1996 legacy, chassis code starts with JF1BD4.
I am trying to decipher what kind of obd scan tool I can buy for this car, preferably some with a USB interface.
Under the steering wheel, it has both Subaru 9 pin proprietary connector, and an old OBDv1 14 pin connector.
I was wondering if the generic ELM327 USB scan cables (easily found online for sale under $50) would read something from this car's ECU.
Obviously I'm willing to buy or build myself a custom adapter from this car's connector to the standard 16 pin OBD-2 connector (SAE J1962).
Thanks for any help you can provide!
[EDIT:] (Here is a picture for the connectors, to help you guys identify it's version.)
I already know that the grey connector is the standard 14-pin OBD-1.
The yellow is the proprietary Subaru 9-pin diagnostics connector for old subarus.
The 2 green and 2 black act as a stand-alone diagnostic interface: you connect the black ones and turn on the key, check engine lights blinks in patterns to tell you the car's memorized fault codes. Connect the green ones and you have to drive the car to read fault codes with the check engine blinking light.
