up?
: Check fuel system.
NOTE:

Check for use of improper fuel.

Check if engine oil or coolant level is extremely low.
: Go to step10N2.

5) Read data on Subaru Select Monitor or the OBD-II gen-
eral scan tool.

Subaru Select Monitor
Designate mode using function key.
Function mode: F12

F12: Front oxygen sensor max. and min. output signals
are indicated at the same time.
: Is the difference of voltage less than 0.1 V
between the value of max. output and min.
output with function mode F12?
: Go to step10N3.

7) Start engine, and drive the vehicle more than 10 min-
utes.
: Is the MIL coming on or blinking?
: Go to step10AI3.
: Go to next.
: Has the vehicle been run empty of fuel?
: Finish diagnostics operation, if the engine has no
abnormality.
: Go to next.
: Was the cause of misfire diagnosed when
the engine is running?
NOTE:
Ex. Remove spark plug cord, etc.
: Finish diagnostics operation, if the engine has no
abnormality.
: Repair connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

Poor contact in ignitor connector

Poor contact in ignition coil connector

Poor contact in fuel injector connector on faulty cylinders

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact in coupling connector (B22)
10AI3
CHECK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
: Is there a fault in air intake system?
NOTE:
Check the following items:

Are there air leaks or air suction caused by loose or dis-
located nuts and bolts?

Are there cracks or any disconnection of hoses?
: Repair air intake system.
: Go to step10AI4.

B: ABNORMAL DISPLAY ON AT OIL TEMP
INDICATOR
When any on-board diagnostic item is malfunctioning, the
display on the AT OIL TEMP indicator blinks immediately
after the engine starts.
The malfunctioning part or unit can be determined by a
trouble code during on-board diagnostic operation. Prob-
lems which occurred previously can also be identified
through the memory function.
If the AT OIL TEMP indicator does not show a problem
(although a problem is occurring), the problem can be
determined by checking the performance characteristics of
each sensor using the select monitor.
Indicator signal is as shown in the figure.
WARNING:
Warning can be noticed only when the engine is ini-
tially started.
