WARNING: When performing inspection mode F on a public road, pay sufficient attention to the traffic condition and give the highest priority to safe driving.

Diagnostic procedure: 

  1. Check that the battery voltage is 12 V or more and fuel remains approx. half [20 - 40 L (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 Imp gal)].
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, clear the memory of [Engine Control System]. Ref. to COMMON (diag)>CLEAR MEMORY .
  3. Execute the inspection mode. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>INSPECTION MODE .
    NOTE: Perform the inspection mode after warming up the engine except when the engine coolant temperature at engine start is specified.
  4. With the ignition switch ON (engine stopped), read the values in [Coolant Temp.] and [Intake Air Temp.].
  5. If the values from step  1 satisfy the following conditions, idle the engine for two minutes or more.

    Condition: 

    |Engine coolant temperature - Intake air temperature| ≤ 5°C (9°F)

    NOTE:
    • If the conditions are not satisfied, turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait until the parameters are satisfied.
    • For CVT models, hold the select lever to "P" range or "N" range at idling, and for MT models, the gear shift lever in the neutral position at idling.
  6. Drive according to the drive pattern described below.

    NOTE:
    • In pattern (2), it is acceptable to decelerate to less than 80 km/h (50 MPH) or to stop the vehicle depending on the traffic conditions. Drive the vehicle at 80 km/h (50 MPH) or more until the total driving time reaches or exceeds 15 minutes.
    • There is no given transition time between idling and cruising.
    • Driving at constant speed only on a downhill causes smaller engine load and may result in failure to obtain a right diagnostic result.
    • If the ignition switch is turned to OFF during inspection mode F, perform this driving cycle again after satisfying the conditions listed in the table.
  7. Read the readiness code of [Engine Control System] using Subaru Select Monitor and check that the concerned DTC is completed. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>ALL READINESS DIAGNOSTIC CODE (S) .
  8. Read the DTC of [Engine Control System] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
  9. Read the temporary code using the Subaru Select Monitor or general scan tool. Ref. to COMMON (diag)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
