4AT(D)(diag)-2 Basic Diagnostic Procedure AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS) 1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure A: PROCEDURE Step Check Yes No 1 CHECK PRE-INSPECTION. 1) Ask the customer when and how the trouble occurred using the interview check list. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-4, Check List for Interview.> 2) Before performing diagnosis, inspect the fol- lowing items which may influence AT problems. • General Inspection <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-5, INSPECTION, General Description.> • Disconnection of harness connector • Visual check for harness damage • Oil leakage • Stall speed test <Ref. to 4AT-32, Stall Test.> • Line pressure test <Ref. to 4AT-34, Line Pres- sure Test.> • Transfer clutch pressure test <Ref. to 4AT-36, Transfer Clutch Pressure Test.> • Time lag test <Ref. to 4AT-33, Time Lag Test.> • Road test <Ref. to 4AT-31, Road Test.> • Inhibitor switch <Ref. to 4AT-47, Inhibitor Switch.> Is the unit that is thought to influence the AT problem work- ing properly? Go to step 2. Repair or replace each item. 2 CHECK AT OIL TEMP WARNING LIGHT. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Does the AT OIL TEMP warn- ing light illuminate? Go to step 4. Go to step 3. 3 CHECK AT OIL TEMP WARNING LIGHT. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Repair the AT OIL TEMP warning light cir- cuit or power supply and ground line circuit. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-20, AT OIL TEMP Warn- ing Light Display.> 3) Turn the ignition switch to ON. Is the AT OIL TEMP warning light flashing? Go to step 4. Go to step 5. 4 CHECK INDICATION OF DTC. Display the DTC. NOTE: If the communication function of Subaru Select Monitor cannot be executed normally, check the communication circuit. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(di- ag)-25, COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE, Diagnostic Procedure for Suba- ru Select Monitor Communication.> Is DTC displayed? Go to step 6. NOTE: Record all DTC. Go to step 5. 5 PERFORM GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS. 1) Inspect using “Diagnostic Procedure with- out Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-87, Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).> 2) Inspect using “General Diagnostic Table”. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-90, General Diagnostic Table.> 3) Perform the Clear Memory Mode. 4) Perform the Inspection Mode. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-18, Inspection Mode.> 5) Display the DTC.

4AT(D)(diag)-3 Basic Diagnostic Procedure AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS) 6 PERFORM DIAGNOSIS. 1) Inspect using the “Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-31, Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).> NOTE: For DTC table, refer to “List of Diagnostic Trou- ble Code (DTC)”. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-29, List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).> 2) Repair the trouble cause. 3) Perform the Clear Memory Mode. 4) Perform the Inspection Mode. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-18, Inspection Mode.> 5) Display the DTC. Is DTC displayed? Inspect using the “Diagnostic Proce- dure with Diagnos- tic Trouble Code (DTC)”. <Ref. to 4AT(D)(diag)-31, Diagnostic Proce- dure with Diagnos- tic Trouble Code (DTC).> Finish the diagno- sis. Step Check Yes No

4AT(D)(diag)-5 General Description AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS) 3. General Description A: CAUTION 1. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM “AIRBAG” The airbag system wiring harness is routed near the TCM. CAUTION: • The airbag system wiring harnesses and con- nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec- tric test equipment to check these circuits. • Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when performing TCM diagnos- tics or servicing. 2. MEASUREMENT When measuring the voltage and resistance of the ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter. B: INSPECTION 1. BATTERY Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Standard voltage: 12 V or more Specific gravity: 1.260 or more 2. TRANSMISSION GROUND Check that the ground terminal bolt is tightened se- curely. Chassis side Tightening torque: 13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb) 3. ATF LEVEL Check that the ATF level is at the specified amount. <Ref. to 4AT-28, INSPECTION, Automatic Trans- mission Fluid.> 4. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEVEL Check the front differential oil level is the specified amount. <Ref. to 4AT-30, INSPECTION, Differen- tial Gear Oil.> 5. OPERATION OF SELECT LEVER Check there is no noise, dragging or contact pat- tern in each select lever range. WARNING: Stop the engine while checking operation of the select lever.
