Q: Subaru Turbo Baja 0bdII port?
I have a 2006 Subaru Baja Turbo and cannot get my OBD2 reader to connect and read any potential trouble codes. The scanner is working fine as well as the car's OBD2 port.
I am looking for a OBD2 scanner that someone has tried and found to work on a 2006 subaru baja turbo.
The scanner that I have is the Equus 3120 Diagnostic Code Scanner with Freeze Frame Data for OBDI and OBDII.
Thanks
A: The plugs for OBD systems are standardized so as to avoid confusion amoung manufacturers. Since OBD 1 came out its the same type DLC in every car, if yours will not connect to the Baja then contact your scanners supplier
Q: Problems With Illumination in Subaru!!?
I have a 2006 Subaru Baja and I was trying to install a new/aftermarket stereo and instead of taking the time to wait to get a wiring harness I just cut the wires and spliced them in. The problems is when I cut the wires the interior illumination stopped working,like the reading lights and the light in the back. First I checked all the fuses and non were blown, then I found some one who had similar problem and just replaced the illumanation module near the fuse box so I did that but still the lights dont work. Then I checked the light to make sure they werent blown but they werent. Does anyone know what might be the problem. Please I need HELP!!
A: I'd go back to the fuses again. Be sure to check the vehicle fuse box under the hood.
I'm sorry if it sounds patronizing, but one of the things I do in my job is troubleshooting DIY installation problems. Usually when I'm checking out a problem with lights or radio or something not working, the customer tells me "I checked all the fuses"; and usually the problem still comes back to a blown fuse that they overlooked.
Good luck!
Q: Which car to sell? Jeep vs. Baja.?
There are 2 cars in our 2-person household, a 1998 Jeep Wrangler and a 2006 Subaru Baja. We are trying to decide which to sell. The Jeep is paid off, and the Baja still has payments on it, which if sold probably can pocket $5,000-6,000. We're having trouble deciding which to sell since we have a 3rd car which is used for commuting.
The rise in gas prices is somewhat playing a factor as well: The Jeep doesn't have great gas mileage and needs a little work. The Baja takes premium gas and the gas efficiency isn't all that stellar either.
Whatcha think?
A: Considering the popularity and good reputation of Jeep with the fact that the particular Subaru model is some what unpopular, I would sell the Subaru Baja.
SELL the Subaru Baja!
May I ask what is the fuel consumption on Subaru Baja?
Q: Subaru Owners?
I bought a 2006 Baja. I love it, great car. The owner's manual does not explain the purpose of the three buttons on the rearview mirror.
Each button has the same symbol of what looks like a house with an arrow pointing upward in each one. Below the arrow is one, two and three lines. To the left of these three buttons is a button with a power on symbol and the next one over is the compass button.
The owner's manual talks about these two buttons in reference to the automatic rearview dimmer for night driving. It says nothing about the three to the left that look like houses.
A friend said that these were garage door openers, but I don't understand why there'd be three, nor do I know how I'd program them to work on my garage door.
Any clues?
A: These are Homelink buttons intended to replace your standard wireless transmitter for operating your garage door. There are 3 in case you live in an opulent house with 3 garage doors! :)
The programming instructions shown below came from the Homelink site at:

HTH & good luck!!

NOTE: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be turned on or to the second (or “accessory” or ACC) position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
First time programming
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on your mirror), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)
Note: Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the “cycling” procedure noted in the “View Canadian Instructions” section.
4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener’s manual or contact us.
6. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
