General Description
ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)
3. General Description
A: CAUTION
1) Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the
ECM, main relay and fuel pump relay.
CAUTION:
•All airbag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use electri-
cal test equipment on these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when servicing the ECM, TCM,
main relay and fuel pump relay.
2) Never connect the battery in reverse polarity.
•The ECM will be destroyed instantly.
•The fuel injector and other parts will be dam-
aged.
3) Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the
engine is running.
A large counter electromotive force will be generat-
ed in the generator, and this voltage may damage
electronic parts such as ECM etc.
4) Before disconnecting the connectors of each
sensor and ECM, be sure to turn the ignition switch
to OFF. Perform the clear memory mode after con-
necting the connectors.
5) Poor contact has been identified as a primary
cause of this problem. Measure the voltage or re-
sistance of individual sensor or all electrical control
modules using a tapered pin with a diameter of less
than 0.64 mm (0.025 in). Do not insert the pin more
than 5 mm (0.20 in) into the part.
6) Remove the ECM from the located position after
disconnecting two cables on battery.
Otherwise, the ECM may be damaged.
CAUTION:
When replacing the ECM, be careful not to use
the wrong spec. ECM to avoid any damage on
the fuel injection system.
7) Connectors of each sensor in the engine com-
partment and the harness connectors on the en-
gine side and body side are all designed to be
waterproof. Even if the connectors are waterproof,
take care not to allow water to get into them when
washing the vehicle, or when servicing the vehicle
in rainy weather.
8) Use ECM mounting stud bolts as the grounding
point to chassis when measuring voltage and resis-
tance in the passenger compartment.
9) Use the engine ground terminal or engine as-
sembly as the grounding point to chassis when
measuring the voltage and resistance in engine
compartment.
10) Every MFI-related part is a precision part. Do
not drop them.
11) Observe the following cautions when installing
a radio in MFI equipped models.
CAUTION:
•The antenna must be kept as far apart as pos-
sible from control unit. (The ECM is located un-
der the steering column, inside of the
instrument panel lower trim panel.)
•The antenna feeder must be placed as far apart
as possible from the ECM and MFI harness.
•Carefully adjust the antenna for correct
matching.
•When mounting a large power type radio, pay
special attention to the three items mentioned
above.
•Incorrect installation of the radio may affect
the operation of ECM.
12) Release the pressure in the fuel system before
disconnecting the fuel hose. If engine starts during
this operation, run it until it stops.
13) For the model with ABS, the ABS warning light
may illuminate when performing driving test with
jacked-up or lifted-up condition, but this is not a
system malfunction. The reason for this is the
speed difference between the front and rear
wheels. After diagnosis of engine control system,
perform the ABS memory clear procedure of self-
diagnosis function.
B: INSPECTION
Before performing diagnostics, check the following
item which might affect engine problems.
1. BATTERY
1) Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity
of electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2) Check the condition of the main and other fuses,
and harnesses and connectors. Also check for
proper grounding.
2. ENGINE GROUND
Make sure the engine ground terminal is properly
connected to engine.

Select Monitor or general scan tool.
8) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and
Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
9) On the «Main Menu» display screen, select the
{Each System Check} and press the [YES] key.
10) On the «System Selection Menu» display
screen, select the {Engine} and press the [YES]
key.
11) Press the [YES] key after the information of en-
gine type has been displayed.
12) On the «Engine Diagnosis» display screen, se-
lect the {D Check} and press the [YES] key.
13) When the “Perform D Check?” is shown on the
screen, press the [YES] key.
14) Perform subsequent procedures as instructed
on the display screen.
•If trouble still remains in the memory, the corre-
sponding DTC appears on the display screen.
NOTE:
•For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
“SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OPERATION
MANUAL”.
•For details concerning DTC, refer to “List of Di-
agnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

•Release the parking brake.
•The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this
indicates no malfunctions. When engine control
diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory
clearance procedure of self-diagnosis function.
3. GENERAL SCAN TOOL
1) After performing the diagnostics and clearing the
memory, check for any remaining unresolved trou-
ble data. ory Mode.>
2) Idle the engine.
3) Connect the test mode connector (A) located un-
der the glove box.
4) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data
link connector at the lower portion of instrument
