Learning Control: Procedure

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Turn the A/C 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 vehicle.
  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. < Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA , OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor. >

    Acceleration opening angle: 

    Turbo model: 10% ± 2% 

    Non-turbo model: 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 → 5th while driving the vehicle at "D" range.

    Acceleration opening angle: 

    Turbo model: 12.5% ± 2% 

    Non-turbo model: 15.5% ± 2% 

  10. Repeat the steps  8) and  9) until the reducing effect of the shifting shock is felt.
  11. If reducing of shifting shock is not felt after 5 cycles, recheck that the learning conditions (throttle opening angle, ATF temperature, etc.) are as specified and recheck that other parts are normal.
