90,174 miles driven with Pelican by 86 drivers
145,121 kilometers driven with Pelican by 86 drivers
The OBDb lists 162 parameters for the Subaru Forester, read from 8 control modules. Real responses from Subaru Forester cars confirm 92 of the parameters. Drivers have tested model years 2009 to 2013, 2015 to 2016, 2018 to 2026.
Support by model year
A solid mark means a real response confirmed the parameter. A light mark means the car's signalset reads it but no response has confirmed it yet.
Parameters
The parameters of the Subaru Forester, by group. These are the commands that Subaru added, and the SAE J1979 standard parameters that real cars confirm. Open a group to see its parameters, how Pelican decodes each one, and the model years that real cars confirm.
