scription.>
2) Connect the diagnosis cable to Subaru Select
Monitor.
3) Insert the cartridge to Subaru Select Monitor.
General Description.>
4) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link
connector.
(1) Data link connector located in the lower por-
tion of the instrument panel (on the 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 and OBD-II general scan tool.
5) Turn ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and turn
Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
6) Using the Subaru Select Monitor, call up DTC
and data, then record them.

1. PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION
MODE
1) Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel
remains half [20 — 402 (5.3 — 10.6 US gal, 4.4 —
8.8 Imp gal)].
2) Lift-up the vehicle using a garage jack and place
it on rigid racks or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.
WARNING:
 Before lifting-up the vehicle, ensure parking
brakes are applied.
 Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rig-
id rack.
 Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear tow-
ing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.
 Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal
or accelerator pedal during works even when
the engine is operating at low speeds since this
may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
 In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping
due to vibration, do not place any wooden
blocks or similar items between the rigid racks
and the vehicle.
 Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not
place anything near them. Also, make sure that
nobody goes in front of the vehicle.

sponding DTC appears on the display screen.
NOTE:
 For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
“SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OPERATION
MANUAL”. For details concerning DTCs, refer to the List of Di-
agnostic Trouble Code (DTC). 72, List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
 Release the parking brake.
 The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may light either the ABS warning light, but
this indicates no malfunctions. When engine con-
trol diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory
clearance procedure of self-diagnosis function.

the lower portion of instrument panel (on the driv-
er’s side).
4) Connect the OBD-II general scan tool to its data
link connector in the lower portion of the instrument
panel lower panel (on the driver’s side).
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools except for Suba-
ru Select Monitor and OBD-II general scan tool.
5) Start the engine.
NOTE:
 Ensure the select lever is placed in the “P” range
before starting. (AT model)
 Depress the clutch pedal when starting the en-
gine. (MT model)
