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
of learning control is completed when the “Communi-
cation Failed!” is displayed on Subaru Select Monitor.
11) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
12) Check that the Subaru Select Monitor is re-
turned to normal operation.
13) Shift the select lever to “P” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.14) Shift the select lever to “R” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
15) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
16) Shift the select lever to “D” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
17) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then wait
for more than 3 seconds.
18) Slightly depress the accelerator pedal fully.
19) Slightly release the accelerator pedal fully.
20) Start the engine, and idle it.
21) Shift the select lever to “D” range.
22) Start the facilitation of learning control. At this
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:
When blinking of POWER indicator light changes
from 2 Hz to 4 Hz during facilitation of learning con-
trol, repeat the procedure from step 4).
23) Shift the select lever to “N” range, and then turn
the ignition switch to OFF.
24) Shift the select lever to the “P” range, and then
complete the facilitation of learning control.

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.
