Clear Memory Mode
9. Clear Memory Mode
A: OPERATION
1. WITHOUT SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
Current DTC shown on display are cleared by turn-
ing the ignition switch to OFF after conducting on-
board diagnostics operation. Previous DTC, how-
ever, cannot be cleared since they are stored in the
TCM memory which is operating on back-up power
supply. These DTC can be cleared by removing the
specified TCM connector for at least two minutes.
CLEAR MEMORY:
Remove the TCM connector (B56) for at least
two minutes.
 TCM connector (B56) is located in the line to
memory back-up power supply of TCM. Removal of
this connector clears the previous DTC stored in
TCM memory.
 Be sure to remove TCM connector (B56) for at
least the specified length of time. Otherwise, the
DTC may not be cleared.
2. WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
Refer to Subaru Select Monitor for information
about how to clear DTC.

Power Indicator Light Display
10.Power Indicator Light Display
A: OPERATION
When any on-board diagnostics item is malfunctioning, the display on POWER indicator light blinks from the
time malfunction is detected after starting the engine until ignition switch is turned to OFF. The malfunctioning
part or unit can be determined by a DTC during on-board diagnostics operation. Problems which occurred
previously can also be identified through the memory function. If the Power indicator does not show a prob-
lem (although a problem is occurring), the problem can be determined by checking the performance charac-
teristics of each sensor using select monitor. The indicator signal is as shown in the figure.
Perform the inspection when the POWER indicator light does not operate correctly. INSPECTION, Power Indicator Light Display.>
