connector.
(1) Data link connector is located in the lower
portion of the instrument panel (on driver’s side).
(2) Connect the diagnosis cable to data link
connector.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools except for Suba-
ru Select Monitor.5) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF), and
then Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
6) Using the Subaru Select Monitor, call up any
DTCs and various data, and then record them.
2. READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(DTC) FOR ENGINE.
Refer to Read Diagnostic Trouble Code for informa-
tion about how to indicate DTC. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
3. COMMUNICATION LINE CHECK
NOTE:
The communication line between ECM and IMM
ECM can be checked in «System Operation Check
Mode». This is referred to as “communication line
check”.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
2) Set the «System Operation Check Mode» menu
display screen, and then select {Immobilizer Sys-
tem}.
3) Start the communication line check.
4) Does “Communication Line not Shorted” appear
on screen?
If “YES”. Go to step 5).
If “NO”. Go to step 6).
5) After diagnostic results, it is determined that the
short circuit is not a diagnostic item. This completes
communication line check.
6) If a problem is detected, repair. DTC P1572 IMM CIRCUIT FAILURE (EXCEPT

Idle Speed
3. Idle Speed
A: INSPECTION
1) Before checking idle speed, check the following:
(1) Ensure the air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and the hoses are con-
nected properly.
(2) Ensure the malfunction indicator light does
not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and then turn the ignition switch
to OFF.
4) When using the Subaru Select Monitor, refer to
the following. TOOL, PREPARATION TOOL, General Descrip-
tion.>
(1) Insert the cartridge to Subaru Select Moni-
tor.
(2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and Subaru
Select Monitor switch to ON.
(4) Select the {Each System Check} in Main
Menu.
(5) Select the {Engine Control System} in Se-
lection Menu.
(6) Select the {Current Data Display & Save} in
Engine Control System Diagnosis.
(7) Select the {Data Display} in Data Display
Menu.
(8) Start the engine, and then read the engine
idle speed.
5) When using the tachometer (Secondary pick-up
type).
(1) Attach the pick-up clip to No. 1 cylinder
spark plug cord.(2) Start the engine, and then read the engine
idle speed.
NOTE:
 When using the OBD-II general scan tool, care-
fully read its operation manual.
 This ignition system provides simultaneous igni-
tion for #1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that some
tachometers may register twice that of actual en-
gine speed.
6) Check the idle speed when unloaded. (With
headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan,
air conditioning, etc. OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in “N” or “P”
range]:
650
±100 rpm
7) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the air
conditioning switch to “ON” and operate the com-
pressor for at least 1 minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C “ON”, no load and gears in “N”
or “P” range]:
850
±100 rpm
NOTE:
Idle speed can not be adjusted manually, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted.
If the specified idle speed can not be maintained,
refer to General On-board Diagnosis Table under
“Engine Control System”. Basic Diagnostics Procedure.>
