Model years 1997 to 2026CombustionOnboarded
86,705 miles driven with Pelican by 83 drivers
The OBDb lists 162 parameters for the Subaru Forester, read from 8 control modules. Real responses from Subaru Forester cars confirm 92 of them. 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.
