Special Tool Information

Subaru “manufacturer specific” Diagnostic Scan Tools, along with the related hardware and software, provide the functionality required to troubleshoot self-diagnostic, computerized systems on 1996 model and later Subaru vehicles. These tools, which are made available to all Subaru franchised dealers, are available for purchase to all aftermarket service providers as well as equipment and tool companies for the proper service repair of Subaru vehicles through contracted third-party tool manufacturers, as referred to below.

Subaru is committed to making available to information providers and tool companies training information, tools, and tool information. Although different manufacturers use different mediums for distributing tool information, Subaru’s current practice is to distribute our information using NASTF (National Automotive Service Task Force), and Nuspire Networks. Tool information is distributed subject to reasonable confidentiality, licensing, and/or security arrangements.
