6) Tighten the adjusting screw to 3.9 N·m (0.40 kgf-
m, 2.9 ft-lb) and then loosen 20°.
7) Install the lock nut. While holding the adjusting
screw with wrench, tighten the lock nut using ST.
ST 926230000 SPANNER
Tightening torque (lock nut):
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
Hold the adjusting screw with wrench to prevent it
from turning while tightening the lock nut.
4. TIE-ROD
1) Check the tie-rod and tie-rod ends for bends,
scratches or other damage.
2) Check the connections of knuckle ball joints for
play, inspect for damage on dust seals, and check
free play of ball studs. If the castle nut is loose, re-
tighten it to the specified torque, then tighten it fur-
ther up to 60°until the cotter pin hole is aligned.
Tightening torque:
27 N·m (2.75 kgf-m, 19.9 ft-lb)
3) Check the lock nut on the tie-rod for tightness. If
it is loose, retighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
85 N·m (8.7 kgf-m, 63 ft-lb)
5. POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
NOTE:
•At power steering fluid temperature 20°C (68°F);
read the fluid level on the “COLD” side.
•At power steering fluid temperature 80°C
(176°F); read the fluid level on the “HOT” side.
1) Place the vehicle with engine “OFF” on a level
surface.
2) Check the fluid level using the scale on the out-
side of the reservoir tank. If the level is below MIN,
add fluid to bring it up to MAX.
NOTE:
If fluid level is at MAX level or above, drain fluid to
keep the level in the specified range of indicator by
using a syringe or the like.
Recommended fluid:
Refer to “RM” section. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommend-
ed Materials.>
Fluid capacity:
0.9 2 (1.0 US qt, 0.8 Imp qt)
6. POWER STEERING FLUID FOR LEAKS
Inspect the underside of oil pump and gearbox of
power steering system, hoses, pipes and their cou-
plings for fluid leaks.
If the fluid leaks are found, retighten their fitting
bolts (or nuts) and/or replace their parts.
NOTE:
•Wipe the leaked fluid off after correcting fluid
leaks.
•Also pay attention to clearances between hoses
(or pipes) and other parts when inspecting fluid
leaks.

7. HOSES OF OIL PUMP FOR DAMAGES
Check the pressure hose and return hose of oil
pump for crack, swell or damage. Replace the hose
with a new one if necessary.
NOTE:
Prevent hoses from turning and/or bending when
installing hoses.
8. POWER STEERING PIPES FOR DAMAG-
ES
Check the power steering pipes for corrosion and
damage.
Replace the pipes with new ones if necessary.
9. GEARBOX BOOTS
Inspect both sides of the gearbox boot as follows,
and correct the defects if necessary.
1) Positions (A) and (B) of the gearbox boot are fit-
ted correspondingly in grooves (A) and (B) of the
gearbox and rod (C).
2) Clips are fitted outside of positions (A) and (B) of
boot.
3) Boot does not have crack or hole.
NOTE:
Rotate (B) position of gearbox boot against the tor-
sion produced by the adjustment of toe-in etc. Ap-
ply grease to the groove (C).
10.FITTING BOLTS AND NUTS
Inspect the fitting bolts and nuts of oil pump and
bracket for looseness, and retighten them if neces-
sary.
Inspect and/or retighten them when engine is cold.

turned ON with the connector(s) disconnected, the airbag warning light blinks to identify the fault.
2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and Subaru Se-
lect Monitor switch to ON.
3) Read the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) using Subaru Select Monitor. AGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC), OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>

the following services have been performed. And
when the shifting shock is occurred during the total
check with vehicle driving, perform the learning
with following procedures. CLEAR MEMORY MODE, OPERATION, Subaru
Select Monitor.>
•Replacement of TCM
•Replacement of transmission assembly
•Simultaneous replacement of TCM and trans-
mission assembly
•Replacement of each clutch

warm up ATF temperature more than 70 °C (158
°F).
8) While checking that the throttle opening angle on
Subaru Select Monitor is within the specified range,

→ 4th, while driving the vehicle at “D” range. to 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPER-
ATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
Acceleration opening angle:

9) While checking that the throttle opening angle on
Subaru Select Monitor is within the specified range,
upshift the gear from 4th → 5 t h w h i l e d r i v i n g t h e v e -
hicle at “D” range.

fect of the shifting shock is felt.
11) If reducing of shifting shock is not felt after 5 cy-
cles, recheck that the learning conditions (throttle
opening angle, ATF temperature, etc.) are as spec-
ified and recheck that other parts are normal.
