A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the positive (+) terminal after discon-
necting the negative (–) terminal of battery.
2) Remove the flange nut from battery rod and re-
move battery holder.
3) Remove the battery.
B: INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
3.4 N·m (0.35 kgf-m, 2.5 ft-lb)
NOTE:
•Clean the battery cable terminals and apply
grease to retard the formation of corrosion.
•Connect the positive (+) terminal, and then con-
nect the negative (–) terminal of the battery.
•Initial diagnosis of electronic control throttle is
performed after battery installation. Because of
this, start the engine 10 seconds or more after the
ignition switch is turned ON.
C: INSPECTION
WARNING:
•Electrolyte has toxicity; be careful of han-
dling the fluid.
•Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Es-
pecially at contact with eyes, flush with water
for 15 minutes and get prompt medical atten-
tion.
•Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes away.
•Ventilate when charging or using in enclosed
space.
•For safety, in case an explosion does occur,
wear eye protection or shield your eyes when
working near any battery. Never lean over a bat-
tery.
•Do not let battery fluid contact eyes, skin,
fabrics, or paint-work because battery fluid is
corrosive acid.
•To lessen the risk of sparks, remove rings,
metal watch-bands, and other metal jewelry.
Never allow metal tools to contact the positive
battery terminal and anything connected to it
while you are at the same time in contact with
any other metallic portion of the vehicle. This
may cause short circuit.
1. EXTERNAL PARTS
Check the battery case, top cover, vent plugs, and
terminal posts for dirt or cracks. If necessary, clean
with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
Apply a thin coat of grease on the terminal posts to
prevent corrosion.
2. ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If the level
is below MIN level, bring the level to MAX level by
pouring distilled water into the battery cell. Do not
fill beyond MAX level.

General Description
CONTROL SYSTEMS
C: CAUTION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
•Use SUBARU genuine fluid, grease etc. or
equivalent. Do not mix fluid, grease, etc. with that of
another grade or from other manufacturers.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
•Apply grease onto sliding or revolution surfaces
before installation.
•Before installing O-rings or snap rings, apply suf-
ficient amount of fluid to avoid damage and defor-
mation.
•Before securing a part in a vise, place cushioning
material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate or
cloth between the part and the vise.
•Before disconnecting electrical connectors, be
sure to disconnect the negative terminal from bat-
tery.

Basic Diagnostic Procedure
WIRING SYSTEM
1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure
A: BASIC PROCEDURES
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The most important purpose of diagnostics is to
quickly determine which part is malfunctioning, to
save time and labor.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF TROUBLE SYMP-
TOM
Determine what the problem is based on the symp-
tom.
3. PROBABLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Look at the wiring diagram and check the system’s
circuit. Then check the switch, relay, fuse, ground,
etc.
4. LOCATION AND REPAIR OF TROUBLE
1) Using the diagnostics, narrow down the causes.
2) If necessary, use a voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc.
3) Before replacing certain component parts
(switch, relay, etc.), check the power supply,
ground, for open wiring harness, poor connectors,
etc. If no problem is encountered, check the com-
ponent parts.
5. SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
After repairing, ensure that the system operates
properly.
B: BASIC INSPECTION
1. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1) Using a voltmeter, connect the negative lead to a
good ground point or negative battery terminal and
the positive lead to the connector or component ter-
minal.
2) Contact the positive lead of the voltmeter on
connector (A). The voltmeter will indicate a voltage.
3) Shift the positive lead to connector (B). The volt-
meter will indicate no voltage.
4) With the test set-up held as it is, turn the switch
ON. The voltmeter will indicate a voltage and, at the
same time, the light will come on.
5) The circuit is in good order. If a problem such as
a light failing to illuminate occurs, use the proce-
dures outlined above to track down the malfunc-
tion.
2. CIRCUIT CONTINUITY CHECKS
1) Disconnect the battery terminal or connector so
there is no voltage between the check points.
Contact the two leads of an ohmmeter to each of
the check points.
If the circuit has diodes, reverse the two leads and
check again.
2) Use an ohmmeter to check for diode continuity.
When contacting the negative lead to the diode
positive side and the positive lead to the negative
side, there should be continuity.
When contacting the two leads in reverse, there
should be no continuity.
3) The symbol“ — ” indicates that continuity
exists between two points or terminals. For exam-
ple, when a switch position is at “3”, continuity ex-
ists among terminals 1, 3 and 6, as shown in the
table below.
