Hi. I know that cable/ soft for this car is under development.

But can anybody tell me how to logging data from ECU? Is it possible now?

Problem is that I cand find K/L Lines.
4,5 ground
16 +12
But I don't have any wire at 15 pins!

So I don't know how to connect cable to OBD connector.

If there is no KLine, there is no logging with the current hardware. CAN bus only.

you see, there are lot of wires. And k/L lines must be present.
But I don't know were they are placed.
As I remember, I have wires in 3,4,5,6,7,8,14,16 contacts.
(But I'm not sure about 8 and 14).

In any way, I don't have wire in contact 15.

2008 Subarus still have the K-Line and can be logged using Enginuity or ecuExplorer.

I found that K-line myst be in Pin 10 of OBD conector.
(See attached picture. This is schematic of Legacy 2004.)
I have it in my connector.
Ground (12,13) and +12 (1) they are present to.

But what is the pink wire on pin 6? is it L-line? In my connector pink wire is at pin 3.

By the way: how this F*king SSM protocol is work for data logging?
Is it one way connection or is it two way connection?

And please help me with next:

As I understand, Subaru K-line have +5 V (Hi level TTL) in normal mode.

When we send data to ECU, OpenPort short K-line to the ground (low level TTL) and ECU recive data in this way. After ECU recognise sent data, it answer and send data with 12 V amplitude signal to OpenPort.
In OpenPort signal divided in 3 times to TTL level. PC recive ECU data and calculate them.
I'm right or not?

Only KLine is required for SSM protocol.
