10AO1
CHECK ENGINE/TRANSMISSION TYPE.
: Is engine/transmission type 2200 cc/MT?
: Check AT/MT identification circuit. [T10DD0].>
: Go to step10AO2.
10AO2CHECK DTC P0106, P0107, P0108, P0403,
P1102, P1122 OR P1421 ON DISPLAY.
: Does the Subaru select monitor or OBD-II
general scan tool indicate DTC P0106,
P0107, P0108, P0403, P1102, P1122 or
P1421?
:
Inspect DTC P0106, P0107, P0108, P0403,
P1102, P1122 or P1421 using“10. Diagnostics
Chart with Trouble Code”.

Manually check that EGR valve diaphragm is
not stuck.
WARNING:
Be careful when checking EGR valve, since it may be
extremely hot.
NOTE:
In this case, it is not necessary to inspect DTC P0400.
After checking the above item, go to
CONFIRMATION
OF ACTUAL DRIVING PATTERN.
: Go to step10AO3.

4) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
5) Disconnect connector from EGR solenoid valve.
6) Connect 12 V battery’s ground
terminal to one ter-
minal of the EGR solenoid valve. Then connect 12 V bat-
tery’sterminal to the other terminal of it.
CAUTION:
Do not use the 12 V battery installed in the vehicle,
because the electrical system may be damaged.
7) Start the engine.
: Does EGR valve operate at a throttle valve
opening of 5 to 10 degrees with visually
check?
: Possibly EGR valve malfunction may be due to
freezing or clogging by foreign matter. At this point
in time do not replace EGR valve, since it is not
faulty. And after the checking, go to
CONFIR-
MATION OF ACTUAL DRIVING PATTERN.
NOTE:
If malfunction is detected again in the confirmation of actual
driving pattern, EGR valve is faulty. Go to next step 8).
: Go to next step 8).
8) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
: Is there clogging in the gas outlets of intake
manifold or cylinder head, checking by
breathing into the outlets?
: Repair or replace intake manifold or cylinder
head. And go to
CONFIRMATION OF
ACTUAL DRIVING PATTERN.
: Clean EGR valve. And go toCONFIRMATION
OF ACTUAL DRIVING PATTERN.
CAUTION:
Do not use solvent when cleaning EGR valve
assembly, as it can damage diaphragm.
NOTE:

Remove and blow away the exhaust deposits. Make
sure the valve operates smoothly and the valve seat area
is completely cleaned.

Replace EGR valve as required.
