SUBJECT:
Engine Control Module (ECM) Reprogramming
INTRODUCTION
Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) has determined that some affected vehicles listed below may require ECM reprogramming. The ECM logic for the
air/fuel ratio circuit may not be broad enough to accept the signal parameters of the A/F ratio sensor. Should the A/F ratio sensor signal repeatedly
fluctuate beyond the parameters of the ECM logic, the CHECK ENGINE warning light / Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate steadily
while the engine is running, advising the driver of a malfunction and the need to seek repair service. Reprogramming the ECM will broaden the
allowable A/F ratio signal parameters and correct this condition.
This condition is a software issue and has no impact on vehicle emissions or driveability.
This service program will involve reprogramming the ECM on affected vehicles.
