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.
2. OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL
For clear memory procedures using the OBD-II general
scan tool, refer to the OBD-II General Scan Tool Instruction
Manual.

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.

Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not place
anything near them. Also, make sure that nobody goes
in front of the vehicle.

FWD MODELS
WARNING:

Before raising the vehicle, ensure parking brakes
are applied.

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

If only the front wheels are raised or placed on a free
roller, apply parking brakes and lock the rear wheels.

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.

Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not place
anything near them. Also, make sure that nobody goes
in front of the vehicle.

6) Turn ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and Subaru
select monitor switch to ON.
7) Start the engine.
NOTE:

Ensure the selector lever is placed in the“P”position
before starting. (AT vehicles)

Depress clutch pedal when starting the engine. (MT
vehicles)
8) Using the selector lever or shift lever, turn the“P”posi-
tion switch and the“N”position switch to ON.
9) Depress the brake pedal to turn the brake switch ON.
(AT vehicles)
10) Keep engine speed in the 2,500—3,000 rpm range
for 40 seconds.
NOTE:
On models without tachometer, use the Subaru select
monitor or tachometer (Secondary pickup type).
11) Place the selector lever or shift lever in the“D”posi-
tion (AT vehicles) or“1st”gear (MT vehicles) and drive the
vehicle at 5 to 10 km/h (3 to 6 MPH).
NOTE:

On AWD vehicles, release the parking brake.

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 engine control diag-
nosis is finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory
clearance procedure of self-diagnosis system. 4-4b [T6D2] or [T9K0], 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0].>

3. OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL
After performing diagnostics and clearing the memory,
check for any remaining unresolved trouble data:
1) Connect test mode connector at the lower side of the
instrument panel (on the driver’s side), to the side of the
center console box.

3) Disconnect fuel delivery hose from fuel filter, and con-
nect fuel pressure gauge.
G2M0348
4) Start the engine and idle while gear position is neutral.
5) Measure fuel pressure while disconnecting pressure
regulator vacuum hose from intake manifold.
: Is fuel pressure between 226 and 275 kPa
(2.3—2.8 kg/cm2,33—40 psi)?
: Go to next step 6).
: Repair the following items.
Fuel pressure too high
Clogged fuel return line or bent
hose
Fuel pressure too low
Improper fuel pump discharge

Clogged fuel supply line
6) After connecting pressure regulator vacuum hose, mea-
sure fuel pressure.
: Is fuel pressure between 157 and 206 kPa
(1.6—2.1 kg/cm2,23—30 psi)?
: Go to step10P4.
: Repair the following items.
Fuel pressure too high
Faulty pressure regulator

Clogged fuel return line or bent
hose
Fuel pressure too low
Faulty pressure regulator

Improper fuel pump discharge

Clogged fuel supply line
WARNING:
Before removing fuel pressure gauge, release fuel
pressure.
NOTE:

If fuel pressure does not increase, squeeze fuel return
hose 2 to 3 times, then measure fuel pressure again.

If out of specification as measured at step 6), check or
replace pressure regulator and pressure regulator vacuum
hose.
