SUBARU LEGACY 1996 Service Repair Manual

1. Supplemental Restraint System
“Airbag”
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the transmis-
sion control module (TCM).

All Airbag system wiring harness and connectors
are colored yellow. Do not use electrical test equip-
ment on these circuit.

Be careful not to damage Airbag system wiring har-
ness when performing diagnostics and servicing the
TCM.

WARNING:
Stop the engine while checking operation of selector
lever.
1) Check that selector lever does not move from“N”to“R”
without pushing the button.
2) Check that selector lever does not move from“R”to“P”
without pushing the button.
3) Check that selector lever does not move from“P”to“R”
without pushing the button.
4) Check that selector lever does not move from“3”to“2”
without pushing the button.
