Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection
Idle SpeedINSPECTION
1) Before checking the idle speed, check the following item:
(1) Check the air cleaner element is free from clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in good condition, and hoses are connected properly.
(2) Check the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate.
2) Idle the engine.
3) Read the engine idle speed using Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Check the idle speed when no-loaded. (Headlight, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, A/C and etc. are OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in "P" or "N" range]: 700±100 rpm
5) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the air conditioning switch "ON" and operate the compressor for at least one minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C "ON" and gears in "P" or "N" range]: 805±100 rpm
NOTE:
Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because the idle speed is automatically adjusted. If the prescribed idle speed cannot be maintained, refer to General Diagnosis Table under "Engine Control System".
