A: INSPECTION
1. CHECK WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
CAUTION:
Check that the rear window defogger timer is in initial setting or customize setting before performing
inspection.
2. HEAT WIRE INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Use a dry and soft cloth when wiping dirt off the
glass. Move the cloth along the heat wire to
avoid damaging it.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Turn the defogger switch to ON.
3) Wrap the tips of tester probe with aluminum foil
to avoid damage to heat wire.
4) Measure the voltage at heat wire center with DC
voltmeter.
Standard voltage:
Approx. 6 V
NOTE:
•If the measured value is 12 volts, heat wire is
open between heat wire center and positive (+) ter-
minal of tester probe.
•If it is 0 V, the circuit is open between heat wire
center and ground.

3) Select {Integ. unit} from the «main menu».
4) Select the {Current Data Display & Save}.
5) Check the input signal when the rear win-
dow defogger switch is set to ON.
After rear defogger switch is
set to ON, does it turn to OFF
in 15 minutes? Or does it
repeat 15 minutes operation
and 2 minutes stop?

Refrigerant Charging Procedure
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
7) Note the low-pressure gauge reading.
8) Leave it at least 5 minutes, and then check the
low-pressure gauge reading for any changes.
If the gauge indicator shows near zero point, it is a
sign of leakage. Check pipe connector points, re-
pair them, and make sure there is no leakage.
9) Follow the can tap operation manual, install to
the refrigerant can.
10) Disconnect the center manifold hose from the
vacuum pump, and connect the hose to the tap
valve.
11) When a 13.6 kg (30 lb) refrigerant container is
used, measure the weight of the refrigerant amount
to use using a scale.
12) Confirm that all the 3 hoses are connected se-
curely to the manifold gauge set.
13) Open the valve on the HFC-134a source.
14) Loosen the center hose connection on the
manifold gauge set (if applicable, press a purge
valve on the manifold gauge set) for a few seconds
to allow the air in the center hose to escape by the
refrigerant pressure.
15) Stop the engine and carefully open the high-
pressure valve.
CAUTION:
Do not open the low-pressure valve.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine while charging from the
high-pressure side.
16) Close the high-pressure valve when the low-
pressure gauge reaches 98 kPa (1 kg/cm2, 14 psi).
Using a leak tester, check the system for leaks.
If any leakage is found after the refrigerant recov-
ery is completed, repair the applicable area.
