F42 (Maximum and minimum EGR system pressure
value) will not read accurately until the EGR flow diagno-
sis terminates.
EGR flow diagnosis terminates when LED No. 2 illuminates
at function mode FA4.

Because ASV solenoid valve, FICD solenoid valve and
air injection system diagnosis solenoid valve are not
installed, FD06, FD09 and FD11 will be displayed but non-

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.

2. SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
After performing diagnostics and clearing the memory,
check for any remaining unresolved trouble data.
1) Prepare Subaru select monitor and cartridge.

2) Turn ignition switch and Subaru select monitor switch to
OFF.

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], or 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0], or 4-4d
[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.
OBD0006F
B2M0433D
2) Open the cover and connect the OBD-II general scan
tool to its data link connector in the lower portion of the
instrument panel (on the driver’s side), to the lower cover.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools except for Subaru select
monitor and OBD-II general scan tool.

3) 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)
4) Using the selector lever or shift lever, turn the“P”posi-
tion switch and the“N”position switch to ON.
5) Depress the brake pedal to turn the brake switch ON.
(AT vehicles)
6) 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).
7) Place the selector lever or shift lever in the“D”position
(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], or 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0], or 4-4d
[T6D2] or [T9J0].>
8) Using the OBD-II general scan tool, check for diagnos-
tic trouble code(s) and record the result(s).
NOTE:

For detailed operation procedures, refer to the OBD-II
General Scan Tool Instruction Manual.

For details concerning diagnostic trouble codes, refer to
the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) LIST. 2-7 [T10A0], [T11A0].>
H2M1149
4. READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
SHOWN ON DISPLAY. (MODE FB0 MODE>)
Using Subaru select monitor, check for diagnostic trouble
code(s) and record the result(s).
1) Select engine mode using function key.
Press the function key [0].

14) 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).
15) 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], or 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0], or 4-4d [T6D2] or [T9J0].>
C: PRE-INSPECTION
Before performing diagnostics, check the following items
which might affect engine problems:
1. POWER SUPPLY
1) Measure battery voltage and specific gravity of electro-
lyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2) Check the condition of the main and other fuses, and
harnesses and connectors. Also check for proper ground-
ing.
B2M0648A
2. ENGINE GROUNDING
Make sure the engine grounding terminal is properly con-
nected to the engine.
