Hi I am not sure about the Aussie Soobs, they are all imported to our country and I assume are made up in the Japanese Factory to be Aussie Specific for overseas sale??

Anyway I am going to contact my Local Subaru Retailer and contact someone in the Service Dept and see if they can tell me the exact Protocol Impreza's use. The following list is from the SG2 manual in regards to what types of Protocols different cars use. I know The 2004 Impreza is ISO but I cant confirm the exact code number for it. I also assume that SG2 is only (currently) only compliant with the ones listed below?? and therefore not all the different codes are installed on the SG2.
I hope a future release will fix this problem.

Below is the different codes SG2 uses (from the Manual)

FORD Products: PWM or CANSF
GM Products: VPW , ISO or CANSF
Chrysler Products: ISO, VPW or CANSF
Volvo Products: ISO, CANSF or CANLF
Others: ISO, KWPS, KWPF, CANSF, CANLF, CANSS or CANLS

I am still wondering if the different modes the Service Technicians (via a hand held device) can put the ECU into while servicing and checking. They are......
General Scan
Select monitor
Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Inspection mode
Drive Cycle ( for Dyno type work)

I am kinda grasping at straws in regard to these having anything to do with why the ECU will not connect to the SG2
This is just a theory.
