A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature.
Pay attention to the fluid temperature when
checking ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D), shift the
select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF level
with engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower marks at “HOT” side.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the fluid level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
•Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
•Adding ATF to the upper limit mark on “HOT”
side when the ATF temperature is below 70°C
(158°F) will overfilling of ATF, causing a trans-
mission failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.
7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission. If there are
leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil
seals, plugs or other parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
1) Drain the ATF by removing drain plug.
NOTE:
Before starting work, cool off the ATF well.
2) Replace the gasket with new one, and then tight-
en the drain plug to specified torque.
Tightening torque:
20 N·m (2.0 kgf-m, 4.5 ft-lb)
3) Pour in the ATF using the oil charge pipe.
Recommended ATF:
Refer to “RM” section. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommend-
ed Materials.>
Capacity:
Fill the same amount of ATF when drained.
4) Check the ATF level. TION, Automatic Transmission Fluid.>

A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature. Pay
attention to the ATF temperature when checking
ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D), set the
select lever in “P” range. Idle the engine for 1 or 2
minutes, and measure the ATF level.
4) Make sure that the ATF level is between upper
and lower marks of the HOT side.
5) If the ATF level is below the lower mark, add rec-
ommended ATF until the fluid level is between up-
per and lower marks.
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to exceed the upper level.
•When the transmission is cold, be careful not
to add ATF to the upper level on HOT side.
Overfilling of ATF may cause oil splashing.
6) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Visually check for leaks in the transmission. If there
are leaks, replace the gasket, oil seal, plug or other
parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Remove the ATF drain plug to drain ATF.
CAUTION:
Directly after the vehicle has been running or
the engine has been long idle running, the ATF
is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3) Check the condition of ATF.

4) Tighten the ATF drain plug.
NOTE:
Use a new gasket.
Tightening torque:
20 N·m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.8 ft-lb)
5) Lower the vehicle.
6) Pour ATF from the oil charge pipe.
Specified fluid:

NOTE:
Use of the recommended fluid is permitted only in
regions where the specified fluid is not available.
Capacity:
Fill with the same amount of ATF as drained.
Capacity when transmission is overhauled:
9.6 — 10.0 2 ( 1 0 . 1 — 1 0 . 6 U S q t , 8 . 4 — 8 . 8 I m p

10.Learning Control
A: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Be sure to perform the {Clear Memory 2} only when
the following services have been performed. And
when the shifting shock is occurred during the total
check with vehicle driving, perform the learning
with following procedures. CLEAR MEMORY MODE, OPERATION, Subaru
Select Monitor.>
•Replacement of TCM
•Replacement of transmission assembly
•Simultaneous replacement of TCM and trans-
mission assembly
•Replacement of each clutch
•Replacement of control valve body
CAUTION:
When {Clear Memory 2} is executed, DTC may
not be cleared.
B: PROCEDURE
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Turn the air conditioner switch to OFF.
3) Turn the headlight switch to OFF.
4) Turn the rear defogger switch to OFF.
5) Start the engine.
6) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the vehi-
cle.
7) Drive the vehicle for 5 — 10 km (3 — 6 mile) to
warm up ATF temperature more than 70 °C (158
°F).
8) While checking that the throttle opening angle on
Subaru Select Monitor is within the specified range,
shift the gear from 1st → 2nd, 2nd → 3rd, and 3rd
→ 4th, while driving the vehicle at “D” range. to 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPER-
ATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
Acceleration opening angle:
12.5%±2%
9) While checking that the throttle opening angle on
Subaru Select Monitor is within the specified range,
upshift the gear from 4th → 5 t h w h i l e d r i v i n g t h e v e -
hicle at “D” range.
Acceleration opening angle:
15.5%±2%
10) Repeat the steps 8) and 9) until the reducing ef-
fect of the shifting shock is felt.
11) If reducing of shifting shock is not felt after 5 cy-
cles, recheck that the learning conditions (throttle
opening angle, ATF temperature, etc.) are as spec-
ified and recheck that other parts are normal.
