Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.Is any other DTC displayed? Inspect the rele-
vant DTC using
“List of Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)”. EN(H4DOTC 2.5)-

nostic Trouble
Code (DTC).>

OTE:
In this case, it is
not necessary to
inspect DTC
P1544.Go to step 2.
2 CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM.
Check exhaust system parts.
NOTE:
Check the following items:
 Loose installation of exhaust manifold
 Cracks or hole of exhaust manifold
 Loose installation of front oxygen (A/F) sen-
sorIs there a fault in exhaust sys-
tem?Repair or replace
failure, then
replace the precat-
alytic converter.Contact the SUB-
ARU dealer.
NOTE:
Inspection by DTM
is required, because
probable cause is
deterioration of mul-
tiple parts.

Road Test
4. Road Test
A: INSPECTION
1. GENERAL PRECAUTION
Road tests should be conducted to properly diag-
nose the condition of the automatic transmission.
NOTE:
When performing the test, do not exceed posted
speed limit.
2. D RANGE SHIFT FUNCTION
Check shifting between 1st ←→ 2nd ←→ 3rd ←→
4th while driving on normal city streets.
3. D RANGE SHIFT SHOCK
Check the shock level when shifting up during nor-
mal driving.
4. KICK-DOWN FUNCTION
Check kick-down for each gear. Also check the
kick-down shock level.
5. ENGINE BRAKE OPERATION
 Check the 3rd gear engine brake when shifting
down from D ←→ 3rd range while driving in 4th
gear of D range [50 — 60 km/h (31 — 37 MPH)].
 Check the 2nd gear engine brake when shifting
between 3rd ←→ 2nd range while driving in the 3rd
range of 3rd gear [40 — 50 km/h (25 — 31 MPH)].
 Check the 1st gear engine brake when shifting
between 2nd ←→ 1st range while driving in the 2nd
range of 2nd gear [20 — 30 km/h (12 — 19 MPH)].
6. LOCK-UP FUNCTION
 Check that rpm does not change sharply when
the axle pedal is lightly depressed when driving on
flat roads at 60 km/h (37 MPH).
 Check slip lock-up with following procedure.
Subaru Select Monitor is needed for checking (EC,
EK model).
Before start checking, check that the DTC is not ex-
isted using Subaru Select Monitor. When the DTC
is existed, perform the collective action with DTC
and check that the DTC is not existed again, and
then start the checking.
1) The check performed on flat and straight road or
free roller.
NOTE:
 Slip lock-up does not operate when the vehicle is
lifted up, because of not occurring surface resis-
tance.
 Also checking on the free roller, check with de-
pressing foot brake lightly to make the checking
easier, because the surface resistance will be defi-
cient2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
3) Check ATF temperature using Subaru Select
Monitor.
NOTE:
 ATF temperature is between 50 — 100°C (122
— 212°F).
 When the temperature is low, warm-up the ATF
by running the vehicle or etc.
4) Start the engine, and make the lock-up duty be
able to read on data display of Subaru Select Mon-
itor.
5) 35 — 40 Drive the vehicle at a constant speed of
35 — 40 km/h (22 — 25 MPH).
6) Read the lock-up duty while vehicle is running.
Standard value:
25 — 45%
NOTE:
On the free roller, the value sometimes lowers.
 Slip lock-up control is not operating when the
lock-up duty is less than 5%, or when the lock-up
duty goes down immediately after starts rise. On
these cases, improper ATF or deterioration of ATF
may be the cause. Check the amount of ATF or re-
place them, and then recheck it.
7. P RANGE OPERATION
Stop the vehicle on an uphill grade of 5% or more
and shift to “P” range. Check that the vehicle does
not move when the parking brake is released.
8. NOISE AND VIBRATION
Check for unusual sounds and vibration while driv-
ing and during shifting.
9. CLIMBING CONTROL FUNCTION
 Check that the gear remains in 3rd when going
up a grade.
 Check that the gear remains in 3rd when apply-
ing the brakes while going down a grade.
10.TRANSFER CLUTCH
Check tight corner braking when the vehicle started
with steering fully turned.
11.OIL LEAKS
After the driving test, inspect for oil leaks.

Air Bleeding of Control Valve
18.Air Bleeding of Control Valve
A: PROCEDURE
1) Lift-up the vehicle with shifting the select lever to
“P” range and applying the parking brake.
2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the vehi-
cle.
3) Make sure there is no trouble code using Subaru
Select Monitor.
4) Using Subaru Select Monitor, check that the
ATF temperature is in less than 60°C (140°F).
nostic Procedure.>
5) Power OFF the Subaru Select Monitor.
6) Turn the ignition switch to “OFF”.
7) Shift the select lever to “R” range.
8) Depress the brake pedal fully until the air bleed-
ing is completed.
9) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
10) Shift the select lever to “P” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
11) Shift the select lever to “R” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
12) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
13) Shift the select lever to “D” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
14) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
15) Slightly depress the accelerator pedal fully.
16) Slightly release the accelerator pedal fully.
17) Start the engine.
18) Shift the select lever to “D” range.
19) Turn the Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
20) Select {Each System Check} in «Main Menu»
of Subaru Select Monitor.
21) On the «System Selection Menu» display
screen, select the “Transmission”. Air bleeding of
control valve starts on transmission. At this time,
the POWER indicator light in combination meter
blinks at 2 Hz. When the POWER indicator light
does not blink, repeat the procedures from step 4).
22) Air bleeding of control valve is finished when
blinking of POWER indicator light in combination
meter changes from 2 Hz to 0.5 Hz.
NOTE:
When blinking of POWER indicator light changes
from 2 Hz to 4 Hz during air bleeding, repeat the
procedure from step 4).
23) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then turn
the ignition switch to OFF.
24) Shift the select lever to the “P” range, and then
finish the air bleeding.
