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.

General Description
3. General Description
A: CAUTION
Supplemental Restraint System “Airbag”
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the transmission control module (TCM).
CAUTION:
All airbag system wiring harness and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
trical test equipment on these circuit.
Be careful not to damage the airbag system wir-
ing harness when performing diagnostics and ser-
vicing the TCM.
Measurement
When measuring the voltage and resistance of
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order to
avoid poor contact. Do not insert the pin more than
0.65 mm (0.256 in).
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.

Power Indicator Light Display
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK POWER INDICATOR LIGHT.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF).Does the POWER indicator
light illuminate?Go to step 3.Go to step 2.
2 CHECK POWER INDICATOR LIGHT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Remove the combination meter.
3) Remove the POWER indicator light bulb
from combination meter.Is the POWER indicator light
bulb OK?Go to step 4.Replace the
POWER indicator
light bulb.
3 CHECK POWER INDICATOR LIGHT.
Perform “Read Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)”.
nostic Trouble Code (DTC).>Does the POWER indicator
light blink?A temporary poor
contact of the con-
nector or harness
may be the cause.
Repair the har-
ness or connector
in TCM, inhibitor
switch and combi-
nation meter.Go to step 9.
4 CHECK FUSE (No. 14).
Remove the fuse (No. 14).Is the fuse (No. 14) blown out? Replace the fuse
(No. 14). If
replaced fuse (No.
14) is blown out
easily, repair short
circuit in harness
between fuse (No.
14) and combina-
tion meter.Go to step 5.
5 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
COMBINATION METER AND IGNITION
SWITCH.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine
OFF).
2) Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i10) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage more than 9 V? Go to step 6.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between combina-
tion meter and bat-
tery.
6 CHECK COMBINATION METER.
Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i11) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 9 V? Repair the combi-
nation meter.
Combination
Meter Assembly.>Go to step 7.
7 CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT OF HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from combination
meter connector.
3) Measure the resistance of harness
between combination meter.
Connector & terminal
(B56) No. 11 — (i11) No. 2:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 8.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between TCM and
combination
meter, and poor
contact in cou-
pling connector.
8 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect the connector to TCM and combi-
nation meter.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine
OFF).
3) Measure the voltage between TCM con-
nector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B56) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 1 V? Even if the
POWER indicator
lights up, the cir-
cuit has returned
to a normal condi-
tion at this time. A
temporary poor
contact of the con-
nector or harness
may be the cause.
Repair the har-
ness or connector
in TCM.Replace the TCM.
