General Information: Diagnosis Subaru Forester SG рестайлинг

ROAD TEST

Always conduct road tests in accordance with traffic rules and regulations to avoid bodily injury and interrupting traffic.

GENERAL SCAN TOOL

Using general scan tools will greatly improve the efficiency of repairing engine electronic controls. Subaru Select Monitor can be used to diagnose the engine, ABS, air conditioner and other parts.

INSPECTION

1. Replace the belts, if crack, fraying or wear is found.
2. Check the V-belt tension and adjust it if necessary by changing the generator installing position or idler pulley installing position. REPLACEMENT, V-BELT. >

Belt tension (A)

When replaced: 7.0 - 9.0 mm (0.276 - 0.354 in)

When reused: 9.0 - 11.0 mm (0.354 - 0.433 in)

Belt tension (B)

When replaced: 7.5 - 8.5 mm (0.295 - 0.335 in)

When reused: 9.0 - 70.0 mm (0.354 - 0.394 in)

Locating V-Belt Cover Bolts (Turbo Model). Scheme 13

Check the pipes and for rust around the pipe, damage to the hose, and for looseness of the band. If faulty parts are found, repair or replace them. FUEL DELIVERY, RETURN AND EVAPORATION LINES . >

1. If the filter is clogged, or if the replacement interval has been reached, replace it.

Scheme 14

1. Remove the clips (B) on air cleaner case. see scheme 52: Identifying Air Cleaner Case Clip - Non-Turbo Model
2. Remove the air cleaner element.

Identifying Air Cleaner Element - Turbo Model. Scheme 15

Scheme 16

1. Remove the clips (B) on air cleaner case. (Scheme 14): Identifying Air Cleaner Case Clip - Turbo Model
2. Remove the air cleaner element.

Scheme 17

1. Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the engine to raise ATF temperature to 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. READ CURRENT DATA, OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor. >
2. Make sure the vehicle is level.
3. After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1), set the select lever in "P" range. Measure the ATF level with engine idling for one or two minutes. see scheme 70: Identifying ATF Level
4. Make sure that ATF level is between the upper level and lower level. NOTE: When the transmission is hot, the level should be above the center of upper and lower marks, and when it is cold, the level should be found below the center of these two marks.
5. If the ATF level is below the center between upper and lower marks, add the recommended ATF until the ATF level reaches the upper level. CAUTION: Use care not to exceed the upper limit level. Be sure not to add ATF up to the upper limit mark when the transmission is cold because that will be the cause for excessive filling of ATF, and will cause transmission failure.
6. Check the ATF level as instructed in step 3), after raising ATF temperature to 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) by running the vehicle or by idling the engine again.
7. Check the ATF for leaks.

Check for leaks inside of the transmission. If there are leaks, repair or replace the gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts.

Scheme 18

1. Drain the ATF by removing drain plug. NOTE: Before starting work, cool off the ATF well. see scheme 71: Identifying Front Differential Drain Plug And ATF Drain Plug
2. Replace the gasket with new one, and then tighten the drain plug to specified torque. Tightening torque: 25 N.m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)
3. Pour ATF through gauge hole. Recommended fluid: SUBARU ATF Recommended Materials. > Fluid capacity: Fill the same amount of ATF drained from ATF drain plug hole.
4. Check the ATF level. INSPECTION, ATF. >

Identifying Differential Gear Oil Level. Scheme 19

1. If the depth of tread is less than 1.6 mm (0.063 in), or the tread wear indicator has appeared across the tire tread, replace the tire. CAUTION: Replace the left and right sides at the same time.
2. If unevenly worn, adjust the alignment.
3. To make tire wear uniform, rotate the front and rear tires as shown in the figure below every 12,500 km (7,500 mile).

Identifying Tire Rotation. Scheme 20

Identifying Tread Wear Indicator. Scheme 21

Scheme 22

1. Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position, and check the wheel spokes to make sure they are correctly set in their specified positions.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel to the left and right to determine the point where front wheels start to move. Measure the distance of the movement of steering wheel (outer periphery). Steering wheel free play: 0 - 17 mm (0 - 0.67 in) see scheme 102: Identifying Steering Wheel Free Play Move the steering wheel vertically toward the shaft to check if there is play in the direction. Limit of play: 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
3. Drive the vehicle and check the following items. Steering force: The effort required for steering should be smooth and even at all points, and should not vary. Pulled to one side: Steering wheel should not be pulled to either side while driving on a level surface. Wheel runout: Steering wheel should not show any sign of runout. Return shape: The steering wheel should return to its original position after it has been turned by hand and then released.

Check the air bag system according to the results of the self-diagnosis. BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE . >

Scheme 23

1. Make sure the air bag connector is connected. If not connected, connect correctly. When disconnected, and the ignition switch is ON, a problem occurs and the air bag warning light blinks. see scheme 110: Identifying Air Bag Warning Light
2. Turn on the ignition switch and connect the service connector air bag diagnostics terminal (mounted below the lower cover) to the ground terminal.
3. The warning light blinks and the DTC is displayed to identify the problem. When the air bag system is in good condition (when no trouble codes are stored in memory), the warning light blinks in 0.6 second intervals while the diagnostics terminal is connected to the ground terminal.
4. When the warning light displays the DTC, inspect the air bag system according to the diagnostic procedure. BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. >
