NOTE:
  • For detailed operation procedure, refer to the SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OPERATION MANUAL .
  • For select monitor display details, refer to the following.

Engine Load 

  1. Display: 0 - 100% 

The engine load is displayed. The ECM calculates the engine load via the engine speed and signals from the pressure sensor. The engine load increases when the engine speed and absolute pressure of the intake manifold increase.

Coolant Temp. 

  1. Display: -40 to 215°C (-40 to 419°F) 

The coolant temperature transmitted from the engine coolant temperature sensor is displayed.

A/F Correction #1, #2 and #3 

  1. Display: - 100 to 99% 

Using the signal from the front oxygen (A/F) sensor, the correction value of the fuel supply amount regulated by the ECM is indicated. When the A/F is lean and when displayed value becomes 0 % or more, ECM increases the fuel. When the A/F is rich and when displayed value becomes 0 % or less, ECM decreases the fuel.

A/F Learning #1, #2 and #3 

  1. Display: - 100 to 99.2% 

The ECM calculates the long-term fuel trim value from the short-term fuel trim value. The long-term fuel trim value means the correction value of long-term fuel supply amount. If the displayed value is less than 0 %, the fuel system is in rich status and the ECM restricts the fuel supply (by shortening the injector pulse). If the displayed value is more than 0 %, the fuel system is in lean status and the ECM increases the fuel supply (by extending the injector pulse).

Mani Absolute Pressure 

  1. Display: 0 - 254.9 kPa (0 - 1,912.5 mmHg, 0 - 75.3 inHg) 

The pressure in the intake manifold is displayed. The ECM detects the pressure in the intake tube via the signal from the pressure sensor. The ECM calculates the air mass required for the engine.

    The pressure in the fuel tank is displayed. 

Fuel Temp. 

  1. Display: -40 to 215°C
