I have a 2000 Impreza Outback Sport. I don't have all the service manuals because there were too many and too expensive! My check engine light just went on. Can the code be read without a reader like some other cars? And, if so, is there a web site I can go to to get the description of the trouble code?
Thanks. Rich
Here is the DTC trouble code portion of the manual for the 2004 Impreza. I have no idea how much may be different from 2000 model year. It was a PDF file and since this newsgroup will not allow binaries (I don't think) I'll try to just paste in the text. It will loose its formatting, but the info is there. I also have the much larger section which details troubleshooting steps for each code if you determine which code it is.

Thanks for the list of codes. My question is how to get the codes. I have a Honda and Nissan where I can get the codes directly from a light on the computer or count the flashes on the "check engine" light after following a specific series of steps..I don't have the Subaru manual to give me this info.
Thanks, Rich
