OBD codes, again!!!!!!!!!

[Svein O]

Hei!
After years of faultfinding due of "check engine" on my Legacy 90 model, I
have sold it and got me a 99. mod. station wagon.
Recently it passed 100k km and suddenly the idiot lamp starts to light after
start up, but goes out after some kilometers.
I found those green and black connectors below the steering column and
reading faultcodes: 12, 22 and 54.
I belive I can not use the same translatetable I used on my 90 mod., because
the new one are using a OBD version 2.
How do I read the table "Subaru OBD2 Codes" that are presented on
http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/ ?
It dont "fit" my codes 12, 22 and 54 ????

Kindly
Svein Olav

The only way I knew to retrive OBDII codes is to plug a scanner into that
portal in the dash left of the steering wheel. All the stored trouble
codes will appear on the scanner as a 4 didget number beginning with the
letter "P".

As it says on the troublecodes.net/Subaru site, north american vehicles
built from 1996 up have OBD2, and require a scan tool to get the codes, and
they will be displayed as P0xxx, not as a number alone. There are all sorts
of scan tools on ebay if you want to buy one, or have your garage scan it
for a small fee.
Those codes you got have nothing to do with OBD2, unless your vehicle was
made for another country which doesn't use OBD2 perhaps?
