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.

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.

7) Use engine grounding terminal or engine proper as the
grounding point to the body when measuring voltage and
resistance in the engine compartment.
8) Every MFI-related part is a precision part. Do not drop
them.
9) Observe the following cautions when installing a radio
in MFI equipped models.
CAUTION:

The antenna must be kept as far apart as possible
from the control unit.
(The ECM is located under the steering column, inside
of the instrument panel lower trim panel.)

The antenna feeder must be placed as far apart as
possible from the ECM and MFI harness.

Carefully adjust the antenna for correct matching.

When mounting a large power type radio, pay spe-
cial attention to the three items above mentioned.

Incorrect installation of the radio may affect the
operation of the ECM.
10) Before disconnecting the fuel hose, disconnect the
fuel pump connector and crank the engine for more than
five seconds to release pressure in the fuel system. If
engine starts during this operation, run it until it stops.
11) Problems in the electronic-controlled automatic trans-
mission may be caused by failure of the engine, the elec-
tronic control system, the transmission proper, or by a com-
bination of these. These three causes must be distin-
guished clearly when performing diagnostics.
12) Diagnostics should be conducted by rotating with
simple, easy operations and proceeding to complicated,
difficult operations. The most important thing in diagnostics
is to understand the customer’s complaint, and distinguish
between the three causes.
13) In AT vehicles, do not continue the stall for more than
five seconds at a time (from closed throttle, fully open
throttle to stall engine speed).
14) On ABS or ABS/TCS vehicle, when performing driving
test in jacked-up or lifted-up position, sometimes the warn-
ing light may be lit, but this is not a malfunction of the sys-
tem. The reason for this is the speed difference between
the front and rear wheels. After diagnosis of engine control
system, perform the ABS or ABS/TCS memory clearance
procedure of self-diagnosis system. [T9K0], 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0].>
