(4) If there is no free play between clevis pin
and clevis, turn the brake switch adjusting nut
until the clearance between stopper and screw
of brake switch becomes 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
3) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal
with a 490 N (50 kgf, 110 lb) load and measure the
distance between brake pedal and steering wheel.
With the brake pedal released, measure the dis-
tance between pedal and steering wheel again.
The difference between the two measurements
must be less than specified value. If the distance is
more than specified value, there is possibility of air
inside the hydraulic unit.
Brake pedal reserve distance: A
For Australia model
105 mm (4.13 in)/ 490 N (50 kgf , 110 lb) or less
Except for Australia model
90 mm (3.54 in)/ 490 N (50 kgf , 110 lb) or less4) Check to see if air is in the hydraulic brake line
by the feel of pedal operation. If air appears to exist
in the line, bleed it from the system.
5) Check for even operation of all brakes, using a
brake tester or by driving the vehicle for a short dis-
tance on a straight road.
2. BRAKE SERVO SYSTEM
1) With the engine off, depress the brake pedal
several times applying the same pedal force: Make
sure the travel distance should not change.
2) With the brake pedal depressed, start the en-
gine: Make sure the pedal should move slightly to-
ward the floor.
3) With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine
and keep the pedal depressed for 30 seconds:
Make sure the pedal height should not change.
4) Check valve is built into the vacuum hose. Dis-
connect the vacuum hose to inspect function of
check valve.
Blow air into the vacuum hose from its brake boost-
er side end: Air must flow out of engine side end of
hose. Next blow air into the hose from engine side:
Air should not to brake booster side.
Replace both check valve and vacuum hose if the
check valve is faulty. Engine side of vacuum hose
is indicated by marking “ENG” as shown in illustra-
tion.
5) Check the vacuum hose for cracks or other dam-
age.
CAUTION:
When installing the vacuum hose on the engine
and brake booster, do not use soapy water or
lubricating oil on their connections.
6) Check vacuum hose to make sure it is tight and
secure.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
M: DTC P0736 REVERSE INCORRECT RATIO
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
Vehicle speed sensor malfunction and torque converter turbine speed sensor malfunction, etc. or control
valve malfunction.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Shift point is too high or too low.
Excessive shift shock.
Tight corner “braking” phenomenon.
Gear is not shifted to reverse.
Gear position is held by fail safe function.
Step Check Yes No
1 PREPARE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.Do you have a Subaru Select
Monitor?Go to step 2.Go to step 5.
2 CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION
SENSOR.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Read the value of accelerator pedal posi-
tion sensor on Subaru Select Monitor.Does the value of accelerator
pedal position sensor change
from 0% to 100% smoothly
when throttle was operated from
fully closing to fully opening?Go to step 3.Check accelerator
pedal position sen-
sor.

3 CHECK FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR.
1) Lift-up the vehicle and place rigid racks.
2) Start the engine.
3) Move the select lever “D” range and slowly
increase vehicle speed.
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may light ABS warning light, but this indi-
cates no malfunction. When AT control diagnosis
is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance
procedure of on-board diagnostics system.Does the vehicle speed dis-
played by Subaru Select Moni-
tor almost correspond with
vehicle speed indicated by
combination meter?Go to step 4.Check the front
vehicle speed sen-
sor.
4 CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER TURBINE
SPEED SENSOR.
1) Move the select lever to “P” or “N” range.
2) Idle the engine.Does the turbine speed sen-
sor revolution displayed by
Subaru Select Monitor almost
correspond with engine revolu-
tion indicated by tachometer?There are mal-
functions in TCM,
TCM connector
poor contact or
transmission
assembly mechan-
ical malfunction.Check the torque
converter turbine
speed sensor cir-
cuit.
5 CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION
SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Fully close the throttle.
3) Measure the voltage between TCM and
chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 19 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage 0.8 — 1.2 V? Go to step 6.Check the acceler-
ator pedal position
sensor circuit.
