SERVICE INFORMATION

1996 Subaru Legacy models equipped with the new ABS/5.3 system will have the ABS electronic control unit located BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX and not under the passenger seat as on other SUBARU LEGACY models.

The 5.3 system will also be compatible with the Subaru Select Monitor Tester which will allow you to access trouble codes when diagnosing the system.

So before you go searching for the electronic control unit, first determine which system is installed in the vehicle. One way of telling is by looking at the Hydraulic Control Unit on the 5.3 system (still located behind the right front headlight). It is noticeably different from the hydraulic Control Units used on previous systems.

The ABS 5.3 system is scheduled to be installed in Subaru Legacy vehicles starting with late October/early November 1995 production.
