Diagnostic Procedure Without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

CHECK SI-DRIVE (SUBARU Intelligent Drive) SYSTEM

DIAGNOSIS:
SI-DRIVE mode will not change.

CAUTION:
Note that the SI-DRIVE system performs the following control when changing modes.
1. When the engine is cold, the low coolant temperature display will light in the multi-information display meter. In this case, it will not be possible to change to the S# (sports sharp) mode.
2. If the engine is stopped in the S# (sports sharp) mode, it will be in the S (sports) mode when the engine is restarted.
3. If the engine is stopped in the S (sports) or I (intelligent) mode, then restarted, it will enter the mode it was on before stopping the engine.
4. If the malfunction indicator light becomes lit while the engine is running, it will enter the S (sports) mode. In this case, it will not be possible to change to the S# (sports sharp) or I (intelligent) mode.
5. If there is a possible engine coolant or engine oil temperature overheat condition, it will not be possible to switch to the S# (sports sharp) mode. When driving in the S# (sports sharp) mode, it will enter the S (sports) mode.


1. EVEN WHEN THE SI-DRIVE MODE IS CHANGED, THE MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY DOES NOT CHANGE, AND THE MODE DOES NOT SWITCH.
