WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2014 Subaru Tribeca, 2014 Subaru Outback, 2014 Subaru Legacy, 2013 Subaru Tribeca, and 2013 Subaru Outback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The on-board diagnostic system detects malfunction and generates and displays the codes corresponding to the location of each malfunction. The malfunction indicator light (AT OIL TEMP light) on the combination meter blinks to indicate occurrence of a failure or error.
- If the malfunction indicator light lights up as a result of TCM detecting a malfunction, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) corresponding to the malfunction is stored in TCM.
- When checking DTC on the models supporting OBD-II, it is required to connect Subaru Select Monitor (SSM) to data link connector.
- To facilitate each function and failure diagnosis, a diagnostic system that supports SSM is used.
- The on-board diagnostic system detects electrical failures or system errors as shown below.
