MANUAL.
 When {Clear Memory 2} is selected and executed,
DTC and learned control memory is cleared. If Clear
Memory 2 is performed, execute the learning con-
trol. <Ref. to 4AT(H4DOTC)-17, FACILITATION
OF LEARNING CONTROL, OPERATION, Subaru
Select Monitor.>
4. FACILITATION OF LEARNING CON-
TROL
1) Shift the select lever to “P” range, and apply
parking brake.
2) Lift-up the vehicle.
3) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link
connector, and then turn the ignition switch to ON.

Monitor. <Ref. to 4AT(H4DOTC)-17, CLEAR MEM-
ORY MODE, OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
5) Using Subaru Select Monitor, check that the DTC
is not output. <Ref. to 4AT(H4DOTC)-15, READ DI-
AGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE, OPERATION, Sub-
aru Select Monitor.>
6) Warm-up the engine until the ATF temperature
which is displayed on the Subaru Select Monitor is
within 60 — 90°C (140 — 194°F). <Ref. to
4AT(H4DOTC)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OP-
ERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
7) Shift the select lever to “R” range.
8) Turn all switches including headlight, air condi-
tioner, seat heater, rear defogger and etc. to OFF.
9) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
10) Depress the brake pedal fully until the facilitation

time, the POWER indicator light in combination meter
blinks at 2 Hz. When the POWER indicator light does
not blink, turn the ignition switch to OFF and repeat
the procedures from step 4). When the POWER indi-
cator light which blinking at 2 Hz changes to blink at
0.5 Hz, facilitation of learning control is completed.
NOTE:

Clear Memory Mode
9. Clear Memory Mode
A: OPERATION
1. WITHOUT SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
Current DTC shown on display are cleared by turn-
ing the ignition switch to OFF after conducting on-
board diagnostics operation. Previous DTC, how-
ever, cannot be cleared since they are stored in the
TCM memory which is operating on back-up power
supply. These DTC can be cleared by removing the
TCM connector for at least two minutes.
CLEAR MEMORY:
Disconnect the TCM connector (B55). (for at
least two minutes)
 The TCM connector (B55) is located in the line to
memory back-up power supply of TCM. Removal of
this connector clears the previous DTC stored in
TCM memory.
 Be sure to remove the TCM connector (B55) for
at least the specified length of time. Otherwise, the
DTC may not be cleared.
2. WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
Refer to “Subaru Select Monitor” for information
about how to clear DTC.

10.Power Indicator Light Display
A: OPERATION
When any item is malfunctioning, the display on POWER indicator light blinks from the time malfunction is
detected after starting the engine until ignition switch is turned to OFF. The malfunctioning part or unit can be
determined by a DTC during on-board diagnostics operation. Problems which occurred previously can also
be identified through the memory function. If the POWER indicator does not show a problem (although a
problem is occurring), the problem can be determined by checking the performance characteristics of each
sensor using select monitor. The indicator signal is as shown in the figure.
Perform the inspection when the POWER indicator light does not operate correctly. <Ref. to 4AT(H4DOTC)-
