CAUTION:
•Subaru Select Monitor is required for reading DTC, reading the current data and clearing the mem-
ory.
•Remove foreign matter (dust, water, oil, etc.) from the engine control module (ECM) connector
when removing or installing.

(DTC).>
5) Record all DTC.
Is DTC displayed? Go to step 5.Go to step 4.
4PERFORM GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS.
Inspect using “General Diagnostic Table”.
Diagnostic Table.>
Is result of inspection OK? Finish the diagno-
sis.
Go to step 5.
5PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS.
1) Correct the cause of trouble according to
DTC. nostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
2) Perform the clear memory mode. BVC(diag)-13, OPERATION, Clear Memory
Mode.>
3) Perform the inspection mode. BVC(diag)-12, PROCEDURE, Inspection
Mode.>
4) Read the DTC. OPERATION, Read Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC).>
Is DTC displayed? Repeat step 4 until
DTC is not shown.
