Antitheft Relay: Description and Operation
STARTER INTERRUPT RELAY/HEADLIGHT ALARM RELAY
The starter interrupt relay, activates by a signal from the security control module, interrupts the starter circuit keeping the starter from operation.
In armed state, the system will not activate the starter interrupt relay and starter circuit functions normally.
The system activates the starter interrupt relay when the system is in alarm state, and keep this condition until the system is turned to disarmed state.
The headlight alarm relay is adopted in headlight circuit, and this relay activates when the security system is in alarm state.
In alarm state, the security control module switches the output signal ON-OFF alternately to flash the headlight via a headlight alarm relay.
The starter interrupt and headlight alarm relays employ the same parts and are interchangeable.
The starter interrupt relay and headlight alarm relay are installed behind the lower cover located under the steering column.

3. The instrument panel lights will flash when the parking lights flash.4. Your SUBARU keyless Entry System is equipped with two remote transmitters.
Programming Buttons Location

The Programming Button is located under the driver's side dash beneath the diagnostic connector (to the right and below the fuse block accesscover).
Adding or Deleting Remote Transmitters
Up to four (4) transmitters can be programmed to your keyless entry system.
NOTE:
Make sure no one is operating another keyless entry or security system within range of your vehicle when you are programming remotetransmitters. Another transmitter code could be inadvertently "learned" by your system, allowing someone unauthorized access to your vehicle.
To program an additional transmitter:
1. Open the driver's door.2. Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position.3. Press and hold the Programming button* in.
-.
After approximately 15 seconds, the door locks will cycle 3 times. This indicates that the system is in the Transmitter Programming Mode. Donot release the Programming button.
4. Press the LOCK button on the new transmitter. The door locks will cycle once.5. Repeat step 4 for any additional transmitters.6. Exit the Transmitter Programming Mode by releasing the Programming button and turning the vehicle ignition off. Test all remote transmitters to
ensure that they work properly.
To delete a lost or stolen transmitter:
1. Follow steps 1-3 as described above.2. Re-program the remaining transmitters as described in step 4.
- If there is only one remaining transmitter, perform step 4 four times.

> Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > RKE
Installation > Page 22
Legacy GT Wagon AWD F4-2.5L DOHC (1997)
- If there are two remaining transmitters, perform step 4 twice for each transmitter.
Your keyless entry system does not require any specific maintenance except for occasionally changing the transmitter battery. The 12-volt batteryin the remote transmitter should last approximately one year, depending on usage. When the battery begins to weaken, you will notice a decreasein range, or the distance from your vehicle that the remote transmitter will operate.(Battery not covered under SUBARU warranty.)
To Change the Remote Transmitter Battery:
1. Remove the phillips screw on the back of the remote transmitter case. Use a small coin to separate the case halves and expose the battery.2. Remove the old battery and replace with type GP-23A or equivalent.3. Close the transmitter case and replace the screw.
About Transmitter Range:
The receiver inside your vehicle security system and the remote control transmitters are designed together to have an average operating range of25-50 feet during ideal conditions. Although at times you may experience range greater than that, there may be occasions when range is less than

normal. Atmospheric conditions or interference from other RF-emitting devices can effectively reduce transmitter range.
This device complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmfulinterference and (2) this device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

DESCRIPTION
(ABSCM) (MCMs)
The ABS Control Module is a digital control type electronic control module accommodating two Microcontrol Modules ;master and slave. Both MCMs process the same program and monitor the respective outputs, and when a mismatch occurs, cut off the system toactivate the fail-safe function.A maximum of 3 trouble codes are stored in the EEP ROM and if 3 or more areas fail, then only the 3 most recent failures are stored. The troublecodes remain stored until they are erased.This ABSCM induces a sequence control pattern and facilitates the checking of the hydraulic unit.
ABS Control
Based on the four wheel speed signals, the ABSCM calculates a simulated body speed or body deceleration rate, while referencing the G sensoroutput as an auxiliary means, and compares them with the wheel speeds and wheel deceleration rates. If it determines that the wheels are about tolock, it controls the solenoid valve or motor pump of the H/U to adjust the brake fluid pressures that act on the wheel cylinders, thereby preventingthe wheels from locking. The ABSCM controls the right and left front wheel fluid pressures independently and controls the rear wheel fluid pressures on the basis of thewheel which is more likely to lock (Select-low control).
Select Monitor Associated Functions
The Subaru select monitor may be used to perform the following operations.^
To read out analog data.
^ To read out ON/OFF data.
^ To read out or erase trouble code.
^ To read out status information in the event of trouble (Freeze frame data).
^ To initiate ABS sequence control pattern.
Indication Functions
The ABS warning light can be made to indicate the following three states.^
ABS trouble.
^ Flashes to indicate trouble codes in diagnosis mode.
^ Valve ON/OFF when sequence control pattern is in effect.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and OperationABS With Traction Control
^ The Control Module of this system is a digitally controlled electronic control module equipped with two 8-bit CPUs of main and sub ones. The(C/M)
(TCS)
C/M not only logically processes wheel speed signals for the ABS control and Traction Control System control (brake control) functions buthas the self-diagnosis function, fail-safe function, and Subaru select monitor communication function. The C/M is installed under the front right seat.
^ The trouble codes of all the failures that occurred in the past are stored in the EEPROM. (When the same failure occurs twice or more, the trouble
code of the most recent failure is stored only once.) The trouble codes remain stored until they are erased. The trouble codes can be determined by theflashing of the TCS warning light located in the combination meter. This ABS/TCS control module induces a sequence control pattern (ABS, TCS)and facilitates the checking of the hydraulic unit.
