A: OPERATION
1. HOW TO USE SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR
1) Prepare the Subaru Select Monitor kit.
2) Connect the diagnosis cable to Subaru Select
Monitor.
3) Insert the cartridge into Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link
connector.
(1) Data link connector is located in the lower
portion of the instrument panel (on driver’s side).
(2) Connect the diagnosis cable to data link
connector.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools except for Suba-
ru Select Monitor.5) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF), and
then Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
6) Using the Subaru Select Monitor, call up any
DTCs and various data, and then record them.
2. READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(DTC) FOR ENGINE.
Refer to Read Diagnostic Trouble Code for informa-
tion about how to indicate DTC. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
3. COMMUNICATION LINE CHECK
NOTE:
The communication line between ECM and IMM
ECM can be checked in «System Operation Check
Mode». This is referred to as “communication line
check”.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
2) Set the «System Operation Check Mode» menu
display screen, and then select {Immobilizer Sys-
tem}.
3) Start the communication line check.
4) Does “Communication Line not Shorted” appear
on screen?
If “YES”. Go to step 5).
If “NO”. Go to step 6).
5) After diagnostic results, it is determined that the
short circuit is not a diagnostic item. This completes
communication line check.
6) If a problem is detected, repair. DTC P1572 IMM CIRCUIT FAILURE (EXCEPT
ANTENNA CIRCUIT), Diagnostics Procedure with
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>

A: RECOMMENDED MATERIALS
1. GENERAL
To insure the best performance, always use the
specified oil, gasoline, adhesive, sealant, etc. or a
substitute of equivalent quality.
2. FUEL
Always use a gasoline of the same or higher octane
value than specified in the owner’s manual. Ignor-
ing the specifications below will result in damage or
poor operation of the engine and fuel injection sys-
tem. Use the specified gasoline to correct perfor-
mance.
 Unleaded gasoline
Use unleaded gasoline and not leaded gasoline on
vehicles with catalytic converter installed to reduce
air pollution. Using leaded gasoline will damage the
catalytic converter.
*For Australia model.
 Leaded gasoline
On vehicles without catalytic converter, use leaded
gasoline with an octane value of 90 RON or higher.

Cooling System
11.Cooling System
A: INSPECTION
1) Check the radiator for leakage, filling it with cool-
ant and attach the radiator cap tester (A) to filler
neck.
PRESSURE:
157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm
2, 23 psi)
Check the following points.
 Each portion of radiator for leakage
 Hose joints and other connections for leakage
CAUTION:
 For turbo model, be sure to install tester to
filler tank side.
 When attaching or detaching tester and when
operating tester, use special care not to deform
radiator filler neck.
 When performing this check, be sure to keep
the engine stationary and fill the radiator with
coolant.
 Wipe off check points before applying pres-
sure.
 Use care not to spill coolant when detaching
the tester from radiator.

2) Check the radiator cap valve open pressure us-
ing radiator cap tester.
Raise the pressure until the needle of gauge stops
and see if the pressure can be retained for 5 to 6
seconds. The radiator cap is normal if a pressure
above the service limit value has been maintained
for this period.CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the cap may prevent the valve
from functioning normally: be sure to clean the
cap before testing.
Radiator cap valve open pressure
Standard value:
93 — 123 kPa (0.95 — 1.25 kg/cm2, 14 — 18
psi)
Service limit:
83 kPa (0.85 kg/cm
2, 12 psi)
3) Start the engine, and then check if it does not
over heat or it is cooled excessively. If it overheats
or it is cooled excessively, check the cooling sys-
tem. to CO(H4SO)-26, Thermostat.> CO(H4SO)-28, Radiator.> Radiator Cap.>
4) Check the radiator fan operates using Subaru
Select Monitor, when the coolant temperature ex-
ceeds 95°C (203°F). If not operate, check the radi-
ator fan system. Fan System.>

1. REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING:
The radiator is of the pressurized type. Do not
attempt to open the radiator cap immediately
after the engine has been stopped.
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the under cover.
3) Place a container under drain pipe.
4) Loosen and remove the drain cock to drain en-
gine coolant into container.
5) For quick draining, open the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill coolant on the floor.
6) Drain the coolant from reservoir tank.
7) Tighten the radiator drain cock securely after
draining coolant.
8) Slowly pour the engine coolant from radiator fill-
er port to neck of filler, then pour into reservoir tank
up to “FULL” level.

The SUBARU Genuine Coolant containing anti-
freeze and anti-rust agents is especially made for
SUBARU engine, which has an aluminum crank-
case. Always use SUBARU Genuine Coolant,
since other coolant may cause corrosion.
9) Securely install the radiator cap.
10) Run the engine for more than 5 minutes at
2,000 to 3,000 rpm. (Run the engine until radiator
becomes hot in order to purge the air trapped in
cooling system.)
11) Stop the engine and wait until coolant temper-
ature lowers. Then open the radiator cap to check
coolant level and add coolant up to radiator filler
neck. Next, add coolant into reservoir tank up to
“FULL” level.
12) After adding coolant, securely install the radia-
tor and reservoir tank caps.
