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. I have never seen one of these, not even a picture. Most likely they are similar to the 1996 Impreza ECU pictured above.

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.
