July 12, 20187 yr My 95 legacy has a flashing cel. The scanner states no DTCS are stored in the computer. Any hints on how I should proceed? Thank you.
July 12, 20187 yr FJ40Don, There are a great many code readers out there, but not every one of them will read every code for every vehicle made. I suggest you find someone with a better code reader (Pep Boys, O'Rielly's). The cheaper ones read only the basic codes for every manufacturer, but for some vehicles you need the maker's specific code reader.
July 12, 20187 yr 95 may not be OBDII - it was for some cars, but not all I think. Maybe you can get a blink code out of it?
July 13, 20187 yr NO offense,....If this is an Automatic, are U sure it's the CEL and not the Power or AT temp light?? And '95 was the OBD1>OBD2 transition. I think all 1995 2.2 Subarus were OBD2,...but not 100%. I believe the '95 Impreza 1.8 was still OBD1. Edited July 13, 20187 yr by wtdash

July 14, 20187 yr Author Thanks for the assistance. I found a post from 05 with the same symptoms. DR Subaru had suggested disconnecting a green 2-prong plug under the ds dash. Sure enough, disconnected it and the light is out and it's throwing no codes.
July 14, 20187 yr Doh! Shoulda/coulda remembered that! good job! the fans shoulda been cycling and all sensors clicking. Edited July 14, 20187 yr by wtdash

Yes, the fans were cycling and every sensor was clicking. Oh, and the four-way flashers were non-op and buzzed when the door was opened. Later I presumed it was a fail-safe for the tech to remember that it was plugged in.
