1

CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM.
Check for gas leaks or air suction caused by
loose or dislocated nuts and bolts, and open
hole at exhaust pipes.
NOTE:

Check the following positions.
• Between cylinder head and front exhaust
pipe
• Between front exhaust pipe and front catalytic
converter
• Between front catalytic converter and rear
catalytic converter
• Loose or improperly attached front oxygen
(A/F) sensor or rear oxygen sensor

Is there any fault in exhaust
system?

Repair or replace
the exhaust sys-
tem. <Ref. to

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)

2

CHECK WAVEFORM DATA ON THE SUBA-
RU SELECT MONITOR (WHILE DRIVING).
1) Drive at a constant speed between 80 —
112 km/h (50 — 70 MPH).
2) After 5 minutes have elapsed in the condi-
tion of step 1), use the Subaru Select Monitor
while still driving to read the waveform data.
• At normal condition

• At abnormal condition (numerous inversion)

Is a normal waveform dis-
played?

Even if DTC is
detected, the cir-
cuit has returned to
a normal condition
at this time. Repro-
duce the failure,
and then perform
the diagnosis
again.
NOTE:

In this case, tem-
porary poor con-
tact of connector,
temporary open or
short circuit of har-
ness may be the
cause.
