Idle Speed: Inspection
- Before checking the idle speed, check the following item:
- Check the air cleaner element is free from clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in good condition, and hoses are connected properly.
- Check the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate.
- Warm up the engine.
- Read the engine idle speed using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Subaru Select Monitor>OPERATION>DATA MONITOR .
NOTE:
- Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because the idle speed is automatically adjusted.
- If idle speed is out of standard, refer to the General Diagnosis Table under "Engine Control System". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure .
- Check the idle speed when no-loaded. (Headlight, blower fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, A/C and etc. are OFF)
