MPH).
5) Measure voltage between terminals of vehicle speed
sensor 2.

6) After the display is gone, turn Subaru select monitor
switch and ignition switch to OFF.
NOTE:
When the ECM, battery terminals, etc. are disconnected
after memory is cleared, idling speed may increase. This is
not considered a problem because the ISC valve duty con-
trolled learning value has been cleared. To return the
engine to idling speed, idle for approximately 2 minutes
with air conditioner off.

E: INSPECTION MODE
1. PREPARATIONS FOR THE INSPECTION MODE
Raise the vehicle using a garage jack and place on safety
stands or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.

FULL-TIME AWD MODELS
WARNING:

Before raising the vehicle, ensure parking brakes
are applied.

Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a safety
stand.

Secure a rope or wire to the front and rear towing or
tie-down hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.

Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal or
accelerator pedal during works even when engine is
operating at low speeds since this may cause vehicle
to jump off free rollers.

In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to
vibration, do not place any wooden blocks or similar
items between the safety stands and the vehicle.

OBD0591
AN: DTC P0705
—TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION (RNG)—
OBD0592A
DESCRIPTION:

The inhibitor switch assures safety when starting the
engine. This switch is mounted on the right side of the
transmission case, and is operated by the range selector
lever.

When the selector lever is set to“P”or“N”, the electri-
cal circuit is connected in the inhibitor switch and the starter
circuit is energized for cracking the engine.

When the selector lever is set to“R”,“D”,“3”,“2”,or“1”
range, the electrical circuit is disconnected in the inhibitor
switch. Hence engine cranking is disabled. In the“R”
range, the back-up light circuit is completed in the switch,
and the back-up lights come on.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Two consecutive trips with fault
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Starter does not rotate when selector lever is in“P”or
“N”range.

Starter rotates when selector lever is in“R”,“D”,“3”,“2”
or“1”range.

Engine brake is not effected when selector lever is in“3”
range.

Shift characteristics are erroneous.

3. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect connectors to TCM and transmission.
2) Lift-up or raise the vehicle and place safety stands.
CAUTION:
On AWD models, raise all wheels off floor.
3) Push the TCS OFF switch to ON. (With TCS models)
4) Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH)
condition.

NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may
light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is
finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory clear-
ance procedure of self-diagnosis system.
