6) Turn ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and Subaru
select monitor switch to ON.
7) Start the engine.
NOTE:

Ensure the selector lever is placed in the“P”position
before starting. (AT vehicles)

Depress clutch pedal when starting the engine. (MT
vehicles)
8) Using the selector lever or shift lever, turn the“P”posi-
tion switch and the“N”position switch to ON.
9) Depress the brake pedal to turn the brake switch ON.
(AT vehicles)
10) Keep engine speed in the 2,500—3,000 rpm range
for 40 seconds.
NOTE:
On models without tachometer, use the Subaru select
monitor or tachometer (Secondary pickup type).
11) Place the selector lever or shift lever in the“D”posi-
tion (AT vehicles) or“1st”gear (MT vehicles) and drive the
vehicle at 5 to 10 km/h (3 to 6 MPH).
NOTE:

On AWD vehicles, release the parking brake.

The speed difference between front and rear wheels
may light either the ABS or the ABS/TCS warning light, but
this indicates no malfunctions. When engine control diag-
nosis is finished, perform the ABS or the ABS/TCS memory
clearance procedure of self-diagnosis system. 4-4b [T6D2] or [T9K0], 4-4c [T6D2] or [T9J0].>

3. OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL
After performing diagnostics and clearing the memory,
check for any remaining unresolved trouble data:
1) Connect test mode connector at the lower side of the
instrument panel (on the driver’s side), to the side of the
center console box.
OBD0006C
2) Open the cover and connect the OBD-II general scan
tool to its data link connector in the lower portion of the
instrument panel (on the driver’s side), to the lower cover.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools except for Subaru select
monitor and OBD-II general scan tool.
