Function

FUNCTION




- The on-board diagnosis system detects and indicates a fault by generating a code corresponding to each fault location. The engine malfunction indicator light (SPORTS indicator light) on the combination meter indicates occurrence of a fault or abnormality.
- When the engine malfunction indicator light comes on as a result of detection of a fault by the TCM, the corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the TCM.
- On OBD-II available vehicles, it is necessary to connect the SUBARU Select Monitor (SSM) to the data link connector in order to check the DTC.
- To provide various functions and to facilitate fault isolation, a diagnosis system compatible with the SSM is used.
- The on-board diagnostics system detects the following electrical system faults or abnormalities in the system.
If a fault is detected, the system tells the fault by causing the SPORTS indicator light to blink.
