can someone please tell me where the ecu is located on a 95 impreza L ej18? also is it obd1 or obd2?

 

 

Thanks

Dylan

The ECU is located behind a steel panal, under the carpet, on the passenger side. Toward the front of the floor.

 

It is most likely OBD1, but I have a late 1995 Impreza L, that is indeed OBD2. Depends on the manufacture date. If there is a small plug connector under the lower left side of the dash, it's OBD2. (It's behind a little door)

Correct call Todd, my 95 Legacy wagon is OBD2 also. On a side note, in you list of cars, you show a 95 Impreza L 2.2 AWD but don't show it as an auto tranny, I though all 2.2s up to 97 were autos in Imprezas.

I found the ecu but it doesnt help becauce their is no light to it to display codes. so my next question is how do i read codes on this car??

DR RX Yes, my Impreza is automatic.

 

Now as for codes...if you have the plug and are OBD2, you need a code reader. Many parts stores will read this code for free. (AutoZone/Orielys, ect)

 

If you are OBD1, you have to connect wires under the dash and look for the sequence of flashes on the dash. (I'm not an expert on OBD1s, so I hope the board members will add to this.)
