My 96 Outback 2.5 4EAT is torque binding and flashing 16 AT TEMP blips. The treads are great and I am looking forward to repairing it. I want to read the code. However, I can not find the 6-pin black B82 diagnostic connector to execute the sequence. I have the kick panel down and have poked around the pedal area until I got tunnel vision. Any idea what I am missing here? VIN 4S3BG6859T7979908.

If never used before, the connector and the two "ground probes" ("diagnostic terminals") are probably still taped to the wiring harness (often just above the accelerator pedal). They may be completely covered, so look for a "lump" under the tape.
