sor
A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
2) Disconnect the ABS wheel speed sensor con-
nector in the engine compartment.
3) Remove the sensor harness from the clip.
4) Remove the clip which secures the sensor har-
ness to the front strut.
5) Remove the front ABS wheel speed sensor from
housing.
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to damage the sensor.
•Do not apply excessive force to the sensor
harness.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
7.5 N·m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the sensor.
NOTE:
•Check the identification (mark) on the harness to
make sure there is no warpage. (W1 (White))
•Check if the harness is not pulled and does not
come in contact with the suspension or body during
steering wheel effort.
C: INSPECTION
1. CHECK WITH SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data
link connector.
2) Select {Current Data Display & Save}. Check if
the speed indicated on the display changes in the
same manner as the speedometer reading during
acceleration/deceleration when the steering wheel
is in the straight-ahead position.
3) If the speed indicated on the display does not
change, check the ABS wheel speed sensor. to VDC-22, ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, IN-
SPECTION, Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor.>

WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM
2. Tire
A: INSPECTION
1) Take stones, glass, nails etc. out of the tread
groove.
2) Replace tires in the following cases.
CAUTION:
•When replacing a tire, make sure to use only
tires of the same size, construction and load
range as originally installed.
•Use a tire changer when removing the tire
from the wheel.
•On models equipped with tire pressure mon-
itoring systems, do not use the bead breaker in
a 90° area centered on the transmitter to pre-
vent damaging the transmitter.
•To prevent damaging the transmitter, set the
tire changer boom in the position as shown in
the figure.
(1) If large cracks on side wall, damage or
cracks on the tread is found.
(2) When the “tread wear indicator” appears as
a solid band across the tread.
3) When a crack on tire valve is found, replace the
tire valve.
1. TIRE ROTATION
Rotate tires periodically (12,500 km/7,500 miles) as
shown in the figure, in order to prevent them from
uneven wear and to prolong their life.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring
systems will require re-registration of transmitter
ID. TER ID, OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>

A: NOTE
“T–type” tire for temporary use is equipped as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
•Do not drive at a speed greater than 100 km/h
(62 MPH).
•For the model with tire pressure monitoring
system, the indicator light may blink when run-
ning with the “T-type” tire.
B: REPLACEMENT
Refer to Aluminum Wheels for removal and instal-
lation procedures of the “T–type”. REMOVAL, Aluminum Wheel.>
CAUTION:
The “T–type” tire is only for temporary use. Re-
place with a conventional tire as soon as possi-
ble.
C: INSPECTION
1) Check the tire air pressure.
Specifications:
420 kPa (4.2 kg/cm2, 60 psi)
2) Take stones, glass, nails, etc. out of the tread
groove.
3) Check the tires for deformation, cracks, partial
wear, or wear.
CAUTION:
Replace the tire with a new one if defective.
