I hear you about the CAN bus side of things but before anyone goes mad about this please check that the green connectors actually put the car into diagnostic mode - ie - ign on, green connectors together and the cel flashes and various relays click throughout the car and the fan and fuel pump etc cycles
I have come across a few were the green connectors made no difference as the circuit wasnt being completed by the greeen connectors under the dash ! - if you trace your wiring diagram you will find a second set of green connectors on the same circuit - both need to be "connected"
the other green connectors are either above the ecu or under the passenger side door kick panel on the side - sort of under the edge of the dash close to the door hinges area if you follow - subaru's default was for these to be connected but now for some reason they ship disconnected from the factory - hook them up and you good to go !
try this first - its a layer 1 problem
