3. Engine Idle Speed
A: MEASUREMENT
1) Before checking idle speed, check the follow-
ing:
(1) Ensure that air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and that hoses are con-
nected properly.
(2) Ensure that malfunction indicator light
(CHECK ENGINE light) does not illuminate.
2) Warm-up the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and turn ignition switch to
OFF.
4) When using SUBARU SELECT MONITOR;
NOTE:
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OPERATION
MANUAL.
(1) Insert the cartridge to SUBARU SELECT
MONITOR.
ST 24082AA090 CARTRIDGE
S2M0286A
(2) Connect SUBARU SELECT MONITOR to
the data link connector.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ON, and SUBARU
SELECT MONITOR switch to ON.
(4) Select {2. Each System Check} in Main
Menu.
(5) Select {EGI/EMPI} in Selection Menu.
(6) Select {1. Current Data Display & Save} in
EGI/EMPI Diagnosis.
(7) Select {1.12 Data Display} in Data Display
Menu.(8) Start the engine, and read engine idle
speed.
S2M0098
5) When using tachometer (Secondary pick-up
type).
(1) Attach the pick-up clip to No. 1 cylinder
spark plug cord.
(2) Start the engine, and read engine idle
speed.
B2M2011
NOTE:
IWhen using the OBD-II general scan tool, care-
fully read its operation manual.
IThis ignition system provides simultaneous igni-
tion for #1 and #2 plugs. It must be noted that
some tachometers may register twice that of actual
engine speed.
6) Check idle speed when unloaded. (With
headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan,
air conditioning, etc. OFF)
Idle speed (No load and gears in neutral (MT),
or N or P (AT) position):
700
±100 rpm
7) Check idle speed when loaded. (Turn air con-
ditioning switch to |P¢rdquo;ON|P'ldquo; and oper-
ate compressor for at least one minute before
measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C ªONº, no load and gears in

2) Remove console box.
3) Disconnect the connectors, then remove the six
screws to take out the selector lever assembly
from the body.

B: DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove connector from plate.
B3M0645
2) Remove indicator light and two screws.
3) Remove retainer spring, then pull up selector
lever grip with indicator cover for holding selector
lever button.
CAUTION:
Pull the selector lever grip carefully so that the
selector lever button may not jump out.
B3M0646A
4) Remove shift-lock solenoid and ªPº position
switch.
S3M0018A
5) Remove cap and clip, then extract pin.
6) Remove selector lever lower then take away
selector lever upper from plate.
B3M0647A
C: INSPECTION
1) Inspect removed parts by comparing with new
ones for deformation, damage and wear. Correct
or replace if defective.
2) Confirm the following parts for operating condi-
tion before assembly.
(1) Sliding condition of the button in the grip ...
it should move smoothly.
(2) Insertion of the grip on the selector lever ...
when pushing the grip on the selector lever by
hand, screw holes should be aligned.
(3) Operation of selector lever and rod ... they
should move smoothly.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Clean all parts before assembly.
2) Apply grease [NIGTIGHT LYW No. 2 or equiva-
lent] to each parts.
3) Assembly is in the reverse order of disassem-
bly.
4) After completion of fitting, transfer selector
lever to range ªPº Ð ª1º, pressing the button of the
grip; then check whether the indicator and selector
lever agree, whether the pointer and position mark
agree and what the operating force is.

7. Steel Wheel and Tire
A: INSPECTION
1) Deformation or damage on the rim can cause
air leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation,
crack, or damage, and repair or replace as neces-
sary.
2) Take stone, glass, nail etc. off the tread groove.
3) Replace tire:
CAUTION:
IWhen replacing a tire, make sure to use only
the same size, construction and load range as
originally installed.
IAvoid mixing radial, belted bias or bias tires
on the vehicle.
(1) when large crack on side wall, damage or
crack on tread is found.
(2) when the ªtread wear indicatorº appears as
a solid band across the tread.
G4M0297
1. INSPECTION OF WHEEL RUNOUT
1) Jack-up vehicle until wheels clear the floor.
2) Slowly rotate wheel to check rim ªrunoutº using
a dial gauge.
G4M0298
Axial runout limit Radial runout limit
Steel wheel 1.5 mm (0.059 in)
Aluminum wheel 1.0 mm (0.039 in)
G4M0299
3) If rim runout exceeds specifications, remove
tire from rim and check runout while attaching dial
gauge to positions shown in figure.
4) If measured runout still exceeds specifications,
replace the wheel.

12. ªT-typeº Tire
ªT-typeº tire for temporary use is prepared as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
IKeep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kg/cm
2, 60 psi) at all times.
IWhen the wear indicator appears on the
tread surface, replace the tire with a new one.
IDo not use a tire chain with the ªT-typeº tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will
not fit properly and will result in damage to the
vehicle and the tire.
IDo not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h
(50 MPH).
IDrive as slowly as possible and avoid pass-
ing over bumps.
IReplace with a conventional tire as soon as
possible since this ªT-typeº tire is only for tem-
porary use.

damaged, replace it with a new one.
11) Inspect fluid level on flat and level surface with
engine ªOFFº by indicator of filler cap.
If the level is at lower point or below, add fluid to
keep the level in the specified range of the indica-
tor. If at upper point or above, drain fluid by using
a syringe or the like.
Fluid capacity:
0.7
(0.7 US qt, 0.6 Imp qt)
(1) Check while fluid temperature is at 21ÉC
(70ÉF) and the level gauge is in the ªCOLDº
position.
(2) Check while fluid temperature is at 60ÉC
(140ÉF) and the level gauge is in the ªHOTº
position.
