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.

C: NOTE
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
•The on-board diagnostics (OBD) system detects
and indicates a fault in  various inputs and outputs
of the complex electronic control. Malfunction indi-
cator  light  in  the  combination  meter  indicates  oc-
currence of a fault or trouble.
•Further, against such a failure or sensors as may
disable  the  drive,  the  fail-safe  function  is  provided
to ensure the minimal drivability.
•The OBD system incorporated with the vehicles
within this engine family complies with OBD-II Reg-
ulations.  The  OBD  system  monitors  the  compo-
nents and the system malfunction listed in Engine
Section which affects on emissions.
•When the system decides that a malfunction oc-
curs,  malfunction  indicator  light  illuminates.  At  the
same  time  of  the  malfunction  indicator  light  illumi-
nation  or  blinking,  a  DTC  and  a  freeze  frame  en-
gine conditions are stored into on-board computer.
•The OBD system stores freeze frame engine
condition  data  (engine  load,  engine  coolant  tem-
perature,  fuel  trim,  engine  speed  and  vehicle
speed, etc.) into on-board computer when it detects
a malfunction first.
•If the OBD system detects the various malfunc-
tions  including  the  fault  of  fuel  trim  or  misfire,  the
OBD system first stores freeze frame engine condi-
tions about fuel trim or misfire.
•When the malfunction does not occur again for
three  consecutive  driving  cycles,  malfunction  indi-
cator  light  is  turned  off,  but  DTC  remains  at  on-
board computer.
•When troubleshooting the vehicle which com-
plies with OBD-II Regulations, connect the Subaru
Select Monitor or general scan tool to the vehicle.
2. ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYS-
TEM
•The Multipoint Fuel Injection (MFI) system is a
system  that  supplies  the  optimum  air-fuel  mixture
to  the  engine  for  all  the  various  operating  condi-
tions  through  the  use  of  the  latest  electronic  tech-
nology.
With this system fuel, which is pressurized at a con-
stant  pressure,  is  injected  into  the  intake  air  pas-
sage of the cylinder head. The injection quantity of
fuel is controlled by an intermittent injection system
where the electro-magnetic injection valve (fuel in-
jector)  opens  only  for  a  short  period  of  time,  de-
pending on the quantity of air required for one cycle
of operation. In actual operation, the injection quan-
tity  is  determined  by  the  duration  of  an  electric
pulse  applied  to  the  fuel  injector  and  this  permits
simple, yet highly precise metering of the fuel.
•Further, all the operating conditions of the engine
are converted into electric signals, and this results
in  additional features  of  the  system,  such  as  large
improved  adaptability,  easier  addition  of  compen-
sating element etc.
The MFI system also has the following features:
•Reduced emission of harmful exhaust gases.
•Reduced in fuel consumption.
•Increased engine output.
•Superior acceleration and deceleration.
•Superior startability and warm-up perfor-
mance  in  cold  weather  since  compensation  is
made for coolant and intake air temperature.
