Subaru 9-pins to 16-pins OBD2 adapter cable – Passenger car
The Subaru 9-pin to 16-pin OBD2 adapter cable is a specialized diagnostic adapter designed to connect modern reading equipment with older Subaru passenger cars. Many models produced before the general introduction of the OBD2 standard are equipped with a model-specific 9-pin diagnostic connector. This connector is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side and is not compatible with the 16-pin plugs of contemporary scanners.
This adapter functions as an indispensable bridge between the 9-pin port and a 16-pin diagnostic interface. This allows both the professional mechanic and the do-it-yourselfer to read the on-board computer of these vehicles with a suitable, protocol-compatible scanner. Using this cable significantly simplifies fault diagnosis compared to older, manual methods.
Application and functionality:
The primary application of this adapter cable is to enable electronic vehicle diagnostics on older Subaru models. In combination with a scanner that supports Subaru-specific OBD1 protocols, this cable provides access to the engine management system.
The functionality includes reading diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and, depending on the scan tool used, viewing live sensor data to determine the cause of malfunctions.
Compatible with the following vehicle makes and models:
This adapter cable is compatible with a range of older Subaru models equipped with the 9-pin diagnostic connector. Examples of compatible models from the early and mid-'90s include:
- Subaru Impreza: GC/GF, pre-OBD2
- Subaru Legacy: BC/BF/BJ
- Subaru SVX
- Subaru Vivio
It is strongly recommended to check the physical connection in the vehicle before purchase.
