The ABS 5.3 is a four-sensor, four channel
system. It controls the front wheels inde-
pendently during ABS braking. It controls
the rear wheels as a pair, as appropriate for
whichever of the two wheels is turning
more slowly.
It was introduced in 1996 on Legacy vehi-
cles equipped with ABS. More recently, an
updated system, the ABS 5.3i, has been
introduced. The 5.3i is used on the 1998
Forester, late 1997 Legacy, and late 1997
Impreza vehicles equipped with ABS.
The ABS 5.3 system has improved self-
diagnostics and trouble code memory, and
it can communicate with OBD-I1 testers,
such as the New Select Monitor.
