A: REMOVAL
1. TRANSMITTER BATTERY
Remove the battery (1) from the transmitter.
NOTE:
To prevent static electricity damage to the transmit-
ter printed circuit board, touch the steel area of
building with hand to discharge static electricity car-
ried on body or clothes before disassembling the

1. TRANSMITTER BATTERY
Install in the reverse order of removal.
C: INSPECTION
1. TRANSMITTER BATTERY
Measure the voltage between the keyless transmit-
ter battery (+) terminal and (-) terminal.
NOTE:
Battery discharge occurs during the measurement.
Complete the measurement within 5 seconds.
If NG, replace the battery. (Use CR2025 or equiva-
lent.)

1. REGISTRATION OF KEYLESS TRANS-
MITTER WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
NOTE:
•A maximum of four keyless transmitter can be
registered for each individual vehicle.
•When replacing or adding the keyless transmit-
ter, new registration of transmitter is necessary.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the vehi-
cle.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) From the «Main menu» on the Subaru Select
Monitor, select the {2. Check individual system} →
{7. Integrated unit mode} → {8. Transmitter ID reg-
istration}, and press the [YES] key.
4) Input the 8-digit ID number fund inside the plas-
tic bag that the transmitter came in, or inside the
transmitter, from left to right. Press the [YES] key.
NOTE:
Press the [ ] key on the Subaru Select Monitor to
increase the number, and the [ ] key to decrease.
Press the [<] key to move to the digit in the left, and
[>] to the right.
5) The ID number you have entered will be shown.
Make sure that the ID number shown is the same
as that of plastic bag.
6) Press the [YES] key if the ID number is correct.
Press the [NO] key if incorrect, to return to the step
3) and try again.
7) «ID registration in process···» is displayed and
registration starts.
8) »ID registration done» will be displayed when
the registration process is done.
9) To exit, select «END:NO», and press the [NO]
key to return to {8. Transmitter ID registration}. If
there are additional transmitters to be registered,
select «Next registration:YES», and press the
[YES] key to return to the step 3).
NOTE:
•If the registration fails, «ID registration failed. Try
again.» will be shown. Press the [YES] key to re-
turn to the {8. Transmitter ID registration}. Retry
from step 2.
•«END: NO» is shown on the Subaru Select Mon-
itor when fourth keyless transmitter has been regis-
tered. Press the [NO] key to return to {8.

1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure
A: PROCEDURE
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.
NOTE:
•To check the harness for broken wires or short circuits, shake problem spot or connector.
•Refer to “Check List for Interview”.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK PRE-INSPECTION.
1) Ask the customer when and how the trou-
ble occurred using interview check list.
2) Check the error display. (Odo/trip meter)
Is “Er-bb” displayed on the
screen?

POWER ASSISTED SYSTEM (POWER STEERING)
1. NOISE & VIBRATION
CAUTION:
Do not keep the relief valve operated over five seconds at any time or inner parts of the oil pump may
be damaged due to rapid increase of fluid temperature.
NOTE:
•A screeching noise may be heard immediately after the engine start in extremely cold conditions. In this
case, if the noise goes off during warm-up there is no abnormal function in the system. This is due to the fluid
characteristics in extremely cold condition.
•The oil pump normally makes a small whining noise due to its mechanism. Even if a noise is heard when
steering wheel is turned at stand still, there is no abnormal function in the system provided that the noise
eliminates when the vehicle is driving.
•When turning the steering wheel with the brake applied when the vehicle is parked, a screeching noise
may be generated by the brake disc and pads. This is not a fault in the steering system.
•There may be a small vibration around the steering devices when turning the steering wheel at standstill,
even though the component parts are operating properly.
Hydraulic systems are likely to generate this kind of vibration as well as working noise and fluid noise be-
cause of combined conditions, i.e., road surface and tire surface, engine speed and turning speed of steering
wheel, fluid temperature and braking condition.
These conditions do not indicate a problem in the system.
Confirm vibration for an AT model, by applying the parking brake on a concrete surface, shifting into the “D”
range, and turning the steering wheel repeatedly from slow to rapid, step by step.
Tr o u b l e P o s s i b l e c a u s e C o r r e c t i v e a c t i o n
Hiss noise (continuous)
While engine is running.
Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is
completely turned in either direction. (Do not keep this
condition over five seconds.)
Normal
Relief valve emits operating sound when steering wheel is
not turned. This means that the relief valve is defective. Replace the oil pump.
Rattling noise (intermittent)
While engine is running.
Interference with adjacent parts
Check the clearance.
Correct if necessary.
Loosened installation of oil pump, oil tank, pump bracket,
gearbox or crossmemberRetighten.
Loose oil pump pulley or other pulley(s) Retighten.
Looseness of linkage, play of steering, improper tightening
(looseness) of suspension joint or steering columnRetighten or replace.

box or oil pump.
