OBD-II General Scan Tool
1. HOW TO USE OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL1. Prepare a general scan tool (OBD-II general scan tool) required by SAE J1978.
2. Open the cover and connect the OBD-II general scan tool to the data link connector located in the lower portion of the instrument panel (on the driver's side).
3. Using the OBD-II general scan tool, call up diagnostic trouble code(s) and freeze frame data. OBD-II general scan tool functions consist of:
1. MODE $01: Current powertrain diagnostic data
2. MODE $02: Powertrain freeze frame data
3. MODE $03: Emission-related powertrain diagnostic trouble codes
4. MODE $04: Clear/Reset emission-related diagnostic information
Read out data according to repair procedures. (For detailed operation procedures, refer to the OBD-II General Scan Tool Operation Manual.)
NOTE: For details concerning diagnostic trouble codes, refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) LIST.
2. DATA LINK CONNECTOR (FOR OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL AND SUBARU SELECT MONITOR)
1. This connector is used both for OBD-II general scan tools and the Subaru Select Monitor.
2. Terminal No.4 to No.6 of the data link connector is used for the Subaru Select Monitor signal.
CAUTION: Do not connect any scan tools other than the OBD-II general scan tools and the Subaru Select Monitor, because the circuit for the Subaru Select Monitor may be damaged.
3. CURRENT POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC DATA (MODE $01)
Refers to data denoting the current operating condition of analog input/output, digital input/output and/or the powertrain system.
A list of the support data and PID (Parameter Identification) codes are shown in the following table.
NOTE: Refer to OBD-II general scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual to access generic OBD-II PIDs (MODE $01)
4. POWERTRAIN FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE $02)
Refers to data denoting the operating condition when trouble is sensed by the on-board diagnosis system.
A list of the support data and PID (Parameter Identification) codes are shown in the following table.
NOTE: Refer to OBD-II general scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual to access freeze frame data (MODE $02)
5. EMISSION-RELATED POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (MODE $03.
Refers to data denoting emission-related powertrain diagnostic trouble codes.
For details concerning diagnostic trouble codes, refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) LIST.
NOTE: Refer to OBD-II general scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual to access emission-related powertrain diagnostic trouble codes (MODE $03.)
6. CLEAR/RESET EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION (MODE $04)
Refers to the mode used to clear or reset emission-related diagnostic information (OBD-II trouble diagnostic information).
NOTE: Refer to OBD-II general scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual to clear or reset emission-related diagnostic information (MODE $04).
