Subaru 9-Pin to OBD2 16-Pin Adapter, 15 cm

This adapter will allow you to connect compatible diagnostic tools on a Subaru vehicle fitted with a 9-pin socket with your existing 16-pin OBD2 tool. The 9-pin pass-through design routes the pins the older Subaru interface shares with OBD2, so the same scanner that handles your modern jobs reaches the legacy fleet too.

It is a short 15 cm adapter — 100 g on the bench, no cable slack to fight under the dash. Working temperature is −30 to +80 °C and materials comply with the RoHS standard.

One honest scope note that runs across this whole family: a passive adapter changes the connector and routes the pins that the vehicle’s interface shares with OBD2 — it does not add protocols. Which systems a scan tool actually reads depends on the vehicle and the tool software, not on this cable.

FAQ

Which Subarus have the 9-pin socket?
The pre-OBD2 era (early-to-mid 1990s and earlier, market-dependent). Match the socket photo before ordering — Subaru also used other legacy shapes.

Is 15 cm enough reach?
It is an adapter, not an extension: your OBD2 tool’s own cable provides the reach; this only bridges the socket.
