Product Description

Subaru FreeSSM OBD2 USB Data Cable (MY99+)

Subaru vehicles from MY1999 onwards, including the Legacy, Liberty, Outback, Baja, Impreza, Forester and Tribeca can be analysed using a Subaru Select Monitor (SSM). SSM is an OBD based tool that allows configuration and customisation of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and Transmission Control Unit (TCU), which is great for diagnostic and tuning purposes.

SSM typically exists as a very expense piece of hardware found only at dealerships, however thanks to a few creative developers, there is software available online known as FreeSSM. Combined with a specific OBD Cable, you can customise and tweak your own vehicle at home using a Windows computer!

Includes

  • USB to OBD Cable with FTDI Chipset

Installation

Installation is relatively straightforward, the software and drivers are included as a downloadable link. We recommend using Windows XP due to the age of the software.

  1. Download the software using the provided link after purchasing the cable
  2. Install the included drivers and FreeSSM
  3. Open FreeSSM and in the Preferences, select the correct COM Port (Can be found within Windows Device Manger, under ‘Ports’)
  4. Plug in the OBD Cable, turn the ignition to ON. Click ‘Test Diagnostic Interface’ to confirm operation.

Note: The last known release of FreeSSM was in 2010 (v1.2.5), as found on SourceForge. As a result the software is dated, and comes with no support, warranty or any further details. Use with caution, it is probably best used on older Subaru vehicles.

  1. Abraham (verified owner) –

    Arrived pretty quickly. Works as expected. Note, although autoinstruct recommend running FreeSSM on windows-xp due to the age of the most recent version of FreeSSM, I am successfully running it on windows-10 without any problems that I can see. The vehicle I am running it on is a 2007 2.5 Auto Outback.

  2. Robert Fearn (verified owner) –
