Hey guys,

I've been doing some research on GTB's and have come across a heap of great info.

Thought you guys might want to have a read or add to a sticky? So I put the below together.

CEL Codes:
Check Engine Light Codes (CEL)

To identify an existing fault, you will need to follow the following procedure. Please also note that the ECU light flashes to indicate the error code, the slow flashes which come first are the tens digits. The fast flashes that come second are the single digits. For example, an error code of 13 will be one slow flash and 3 quick flashes straight after the first flash, then their will be a short break and it will flash the sequence again.

Identify ECU Fault Code

With ignition OFF, locate black (note in very early Legacy’s this maybe white) ECU check connector below dashboard on left side of drivers foot well. It will be two small black connectors, one female and one male which will probably be alongside the ECU reset connectors which are green.
Turn the ignition ON and identify how many times the check engine light flashes (if any). This will be the error code stored in the ECU memory.
Locate the fault code in the chart below and this will identify the fault. If you feel the fault is incorrect, you can reset the ECU by using the procedure below.
Turn ignition OFF and unplug the connectors.




ECU Reset

With ignition OFF, locate the 2 black ECU check connectors and the 2 green ECU reset connectors below dashboard on left side of drivers foot well. There will be one female and one male of each color (Black & Green).
Connect the black connectors together, and connect the green connectors together.
Start the vehicle and drive until the check engine light starts flashing. ENSURE THE VEHICLE SPEED REMAINS ABOVE 11 Km/h.
If there is no fault, the check engine light should flash steadily. If there is a fault, the check engine light will flash the appropriate code which can be checked against the table below and the fault rectified ASAP.
Stop engine and turn ignition OFF.
Disconnect the two black and two green connectors.

Good research. It's also good that you've managed to collate most of the info our there on those EJ20TT's.

Not trying to discredit your work here, but...

It has been proven on a number of occasions that some of the information out there in interwebzland, is indeed incorrect.

So I'll add a warning to those TT owners out there who would like to use this information to repair their vehicles:


Convert to single now! (It's so much more simpler, and more powerful!

Nice work mate.
As Alex mentioned lots of info in the one place.

Handy for those of us who know SFA about TT Subarus!

Rep point right there. :)

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
