POWER ASSISTED SYSTEM (POWER STEERING)
10.General Diagnostic Table
A: INSPECTION
*1 If the tires or wheels are wider than standard, the load to the power steering system is increased. Accordingly, in a condition,
for example before fluid warms-up, relief valve may work before reaching maximum turning angle. In this case, steering effort
may be heavy. When the measured hydraulic pressure is normal, there is no abnormal thing. *2 In cold weather, flow resistance will increase due to the cold hydraulic fluid, and steering effort will be heavier. After warming-up en-
gine, turn the steering wheel from stop to stop several times to warm-up fluid. If steering effort reduces normally, function is normal. *3 I n c o l d w e a t h e r o r w i t h i n s u f f i c i e n t w a r m – u p o f t h e e n g i n e , s t e e r i n g e f f o r t m a y b e h e a v y d u e t o e x c e s s i v e d r o p o f i d l e r p m w h en
turning the steering wheel. In this case, start the vehicle with increasing engine speed than usual. If steering effort reduces nor-
mally, function is normal.

General Description
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)
2. General Description
A: CAUTION
1. SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the
TPM control module.
CAUTION:
•Wiring harnesses of all airbag system are yel-
low. Do not use the electrical test equipment on
these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when servicing the tire pressure
monitoring control module.
2. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING CON-
TROL MODULE
•If the alteration of tire rotation, the installation po-
sition or the replacement of transmitter is per-
formed, ID registration for the transmitter is
required.
Monitor.>
•When adjusting tire pressure indoors in winter,
there is a big temperature difference between the
indoor facilities and outside. Once the car is outside
where the temperature is lower, the air pressure in
the tires will drop, causing the tire pressure warning
light to come on, even if the pressure in the tires
was adjusted to standard values indoors. To avoid
this, it is necessary to adjust the tire pressure to the
high side in consideration of the difference in tem-
perature between inside and outside.
B: INSPECTION
Before performing diagnosis, check the following
item which might affect the quality of the tire pres-
sure monitoring system.
1. TIRE
•Inspect that the tire pressure is within the speci-
fication while the tire is cool. (Refer to Tire Caution
Label.)
•Check the tires for damage or the insertion of for-
eign matters.
2. BATTERY
Check that amount of battery fluid, gravity and volt-
age are within the specifications.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more

ing control module.
REMOVAL, Tire Pressure Monitoring System.>
•If the ignition switch and Subaru Select Monitor
power are turned OFF while registering the trans-
mitter, or if registration is not possible for more than
5 minutes, the registration mode is cancelled.
•When rotating tires, there is no affect on the per-
formance or functions of the tire pressure monitor-
ing control module even if the transmitter (ID) is not
registered, however, the tire position displayed on
the Subaru Select Monitor will be incorrect.
1) Adjust all tire pressures to the specifications.
NOTE:

A: INSPECTION
1) Take stones, glass, nails etc. out of the tread
groove.
2) Replace tires in the following cases.
CAUTION:
•When replacing a tire, make sure to use only
tires of the same size, construction and load
range as originally installed.
•Use a tire changer when removing the tire
from the wheel.
•On models equipped with tire pressure mon-
itoring systems, do not use the bead breaker in
a 90° area centered on the transmitter to pre-
vent damaging the transmitter.
•To prevent damaging the transmitter, set the
tire changer boom in the position as shown in
the figure.
(1) If large cracks on side wall, damage or
cracks on the tread is found.
(2) When the “tread wear indicator” appears as
a solid band across the tread.
3) When a crack on tire valve is found, replace the
tire valve.
1. TIRE ROTATION
Rotate tires periodically (12,500 km/7,500 miles) as
shown in the figure, in order to prevent them from
uneven wear and to prolong their life.
NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring
systems will require re-registration of transmitter
ID.
