On-Board Diagnostic System Check During State Emission Test
THIS BULLETIN IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
This bulletin provides additional information to SUBARU Bulletin 11-55-99, which stated that Subaru plans to revise the current Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illumination strategy for most 2001 MY and newer models, such that the MIL status is "OFF" in both the Key-On-Engine-Off (KOEO) and Key-On-Engine-Running (KOER) positions.
Only 2001 MY Impreza 2.2L and Legacy 2.5L vehicles with manual AWD transmission will retain the 1996-2000 model MIL illumination strategy, in which the MIL is illuminated and commanded "ON" in the KOEO position. (If the MIL is checked in the KOER position, the MIL will indicate "OFF" assuming no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present.) SUBARU plans to revise the MIL illumination strategy as described in the first paragraph for these models in 2002.
All 2001 MY SUBARU vehicles are 50-State certified and conform to California's Low Emission Vehicle emission standards. Additionally, all 2001 models are All-Wheel-Drive (AWD)) equipped. Summarized in the chart shown is a pictorial reference for the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) location by 2001 model line. Also included in this chart is the U.S. EPA's Diagnostic Link Connector mapping grid number, which corresponds to the agency's mapping diagram as shown.
