Basic Diagnostic Procedure
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)
1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure
A: PROCEDURE
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK PRE-INSPECTION.
1) Ask the customer when and how the trou-
ble occurred using the interview checklist.
2) Before performing diagnosis, inspect the
following item which might influence the AT
problems.
•General inspection
•Oil leakage
•Stall speed test
•Line pressure test
•Transfer Clutch Pressure Test
•Time Lag Test
•Road Test
•Inhibitor Switch
Is the unit that might influence
the AT problem normal?
Go to step 2.Repair or replace
each item.
2CHECK SPORT INDICATOR LIGHT.
After the ignition switch is turned to ON, wait
for at least 2 seconds.
Does the SPORT indicator
light illuminate?
Go to step 4.Go to step 3.
3CHECK SPORT INDICATOR LIGHT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Check the SPORT indicator light.
Light Display.>
3) After the ignition switch is turned to ON,
wait for at least 2 seconds.
Does the SPORT indicator
light blink?
Go to step 4.Go to step 5.
4CHECK DTC.
Read the DTC.
NOTE:If the communication function of Subaru Select
Monitor cannot be executed normally, check
communication circuit.
POSSIBLE, Diagnostic Procedure for Subaru

Is DTC displayed? Go to step 6.
NOTE:
Record all DTCs.
Go to step 5.
5PERFORM GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS.
1) Inspect using “Diagnostic Procedure with-
out Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
2) Perform the clear memory mode.
3) Perform the inspection mode.
4) Display DTC.
Is DTC displayed? Go to step 6.Inspect using
“General Diagnos-
tic Table”.

General Description
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)
3. General Description
A: CAUTION
•SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the TCM.
CAUTION:
•All air bag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
tric test equipment to check these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when performing diagnostics or
servicing the TCM.
•MEASUREMENT
When measuring the voltage and resistance of the
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order
to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more
than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.
Tightening torque:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
3. ATF LEVEL
Make sure that ATF level is the specified amount.
4. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEVEL
Make sure the front differential oil level is the spec-
ified amount.
