OBD2 Information

SVXes sold in the USA from 1996 onwards were fitted with a different type of ECU and TCU in order to support the OBD2 standard. Late model SVXes are rare and we have not had much opportunity to research these units. The hardware is the same as that used in some Impreza and Legacy models of the same year.

There are plenty of OBD2 compliant scantools available which should work on the OBD2 SVX. There is also a fair amount of information available on the internet about communicating with and modifying OBD2 Imprezas. Much of that information will probably apply to the SVX. It just needs somebody with an OBD2 SVX and computer/electronics skills to investigate it. If anybody undertakes such a project then I would be interested to hear about it.
