GENERAL Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

1. General 0 The Multipoint Fuel Injection (MFI) system supplies optimum air-fuel mixture under every engine operating condition through the use of the latest electronic control technology. This system pressurizes the fuel to a constant pressure and injects it into each intake air port in the cylinder head. The injection quantity of fuel is controlled by an intermittent injection system where an electro-magnetic injection valve or injector opens for a short period that is precisely con- trolled depending on the quantity of air appropriate for each condition of operation. In actual con- trol, an optimum fuel injection quantity is achieved by varying the duration of an electric pulse ap- plied to the injector. This way of control enables simple, yet highly precise metering of the fuel. 0 The engine control module (ECM) that controls the fuel injection system corrects the fuel injec- tion amount depending on the vehicle speed, throttle opening, coolant temperature and other ve- hicle-operation-related information. The ECM receives the information in the form of electric sig- nals from the corresponding sensors and switches. The MFI system also has the following features: 0 Reduced exhaust emissions 0 Reduced fuel consumption 0 Increased engine output 0 Quick response to accelerator and brake pedal operation

Superior startability and warm-up performance in cold weather due to corrective controls made according to coolant and intake air temperatures

AIR LINE Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

2. Air Line A: GENERAL The air filtered by the air cleaner enters the throttle body where it is regulated in the volume by the throttle valve and then enters the intake manifold. It is then distributed to each cylinder where the air is mixed with fuel injected by the injector. During idling operation, air flows into the cylinder through the idle air control solenoid valve, bypassing the throttle valve. This enables controlling the engine idling speed properly.

B: INTAKE MANIFOLD PRESSURE AND AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS The intake manifold pressure sensor and the intake air temperature sensor are integrated into a single unit. The unit is mounted on the intake manifold and measures the absolute air pressure in the intake manifold as well as the temperature of the intake air. The measured pressure and temperature are converted into electrical signals and sent to the ECM. The ECM uses these signals to control injection and ignition timing as well as the fuel injec- tion amount.

D: THROTTLE BODY In response to operation of the accelerator pedal, the throttle valve in the throttle body opens/

closes to regulate the volume of the air drawn into the combustion chamber. 0 During idling, the throttle valve is almost fully closed and the volume of air passing through the throttle body is less than that passing through the idle air control solenoid valve. 0 More than half of the air necessary for idling is supplied to the intake manifold via the idle air control solenoid valve which controls properly the engine idling speed, so the idling speed needs not be adjusted.

E: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 0 The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and linked to the throttle valve. 0 The throttle position sensor sends the ECM voltage signal corresponding to the opening of the throttle valve. When the sensor’s output voltage exceeds a predetermined level, the ECM inter- prets it as complete closure of the throttle valve. When the output voltage is at another predeter- mined level, the ECM recognizes that the throttle valve is at a wide open position. Since the output characteristics of the sensor change over years, the ECM is provided with a learning function to be able to interpret signals into throttle valve angles always correctly.

AIR LINE Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

F: IDLE AIR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 0 The idle air control solenoid valve is located in the throttle body and regulates the amount of in- take air that flows bypassing the throttle valve into the intake manifold during engine idling. It is activated by a signal from the ECM in order to maintain the engine idling speed at a target speed. 0 The idle air control solenoid valve is a stepping motor type solenoid-actuated valve which con- sists of coils, a shaft, a permanent magnet, a spring and a housing. The housing is an integral part of the throttle body.

The stepping motor consists of two paired coils, the coils of each pair being arranged face to face with a shaft in between. 0 The shaft has a screw at the end around which the permanent magnets are arranged. 0 As current flows in the form of pulses through the paired coils sequentially while alternating the polarity, the N and S poles of the permanent magnets around the shaft are repelled by the same poles of the magnetism generated by the coils. This causes a nut externally fixed to the magnets and internally engaging with the screw of the shaft to turn. The shaft then goes upward or downward.

This upward and downward motions of the shaft open or close the valve port, adjusting the amount of bypass air.

3. Fuel Line A: GENERAL 0 The fuel pressurized by the fuel tank inside pump is delivered to each fuel injector by way of the fuel pipe and fuel filter. Fuel injection pressure is regulated to an optimum level by the pressure regulator. 0 Each injector injects fuel into the intake port of the corresponding cylinder where the fuel is mixed with air. The mixture then enters the cylinder. Fuel injection amount and timing are regulated by the ECM.

B: PRESSURE REGULATOR The pressure regulator is installed at the injector end of the fuel supply line. It has a fuel chamber and spring chamber separated by a diaphragm. Fuel chamber is connected to the fuel supply line and the spring chamber is connected to the intake manifold. Fuel chamber also has a relief valve connected to the fuel return line through which fuel returns to the fuel tank. When the intake manifold vacuum increases, the diaphragm is pulled and the relief valve opens to decrease the fuel supply line pressure (or fuel injection pressure). When the intake manifold vacuum decreases, the diaphragm is pushed by the spring to increase the fuel supply line pressure. Thus, the differ- ence between the fuel injection pressure and the intake manifold vacuum is kept at a constant level of 299.1 kPa (3.05 kgf/cm2, 43.4 psi) to precisely control the amount of injected fuel.

C: FUEL INJECTORS 0 The MFI system employs top feed type fuel injectors with an air assist feature. 0 Each injector is installed in the fuel pipe in such a way that the injector is cooled by fuel. 0 The features of this type of fuel injector are as follows: 1) High heat resistance 2) Low driving noise 3) Easy to service 4) Small size 0 The injector injects fuel according to the valve open signal from the ECM. The needle valve is lifted by the solenoid which is energized on arrival of the valve open signal. 0 Since the injector’s nozzle hole area, the lift of valve and the fuel pressure are kept constant, the amount of fuel injected is controlled only by varying the duration of the valve open signal from the ECM. 0 Fuel atomization is enhanced using assist air supplied from the idle air control solenoid valve passing through the passage formed in the intake manifold at the area in which each injector is installed. This contributes not only to higher combustion efficiency and higher output but also to cleaner exhaust emissions.

0 When the ignition switch is turned ON, fuel pump relay is activated. Then the motor operates to rotate the impeller. 0 As the impeller rotates, fuel in a vane groove of the impeller flows along the fuel passage into the next vane groove by centrifugal force. When fuel flows from one groove to the next, a pressure difference occurs due to friction. This creates a pumping effect. 0 The fuel pushed up by rotation of the impeller then passes through the clearance between the armature and the magnet of the motor and is discharged through the check valve. 0 When the fuel discharge pressure reaches the specified level, the relief valve opens and excess fuel is released into the fuel tank. In this manner, the relief valve prevents an abnormal increase in fuel pressure. 0 When the engine and the fuel pump stop, spring force acts on the check valve to close the dis- charge port, so that the fuel pressure in the fuel delivery line is retained.

Sensors and Switches A: FRONT OXYGEN (NF) SENSOR 0 The front oxygen sensor uses zirconium oxide (Zr02) which is a solid electrolyte, at portions ex- posed to exhaust gas. 0 The zirconium oxide has the property of generating electromotive force when its both sides are exposed to oxygen ions of different concentration and the magnitude of this electromotive force depends on how much the difference is. 0 The front oxygen sensor detects the amount of oxygen in exhaust gases by making use of this property of the zirconium oxide material. 0 The zirconium oxide material is formed into a closed end tube and its external surface is ex- posed to exhaust gases with smaller oxygen ion concentration, whereas its internal surface is ex- posed to atmospheric air. The external surface has a porous platinum coating. The sensor housing is grounded to the exhaust pipe and the inside is connected to the ECM through the harness to be able to use the current output from the sensor. 0 The sensor incorporates a ceramic heater to improve its performance at low temperatures.

0 When rich air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder, the oxygen in the exhaust gases is almost com- pletely used in the catalytic reaction by the platinum coating on the external surface of the zirconia tube. This results in a very large difference in the oxygen ion concentration between the inside and outside of the tube, and the electromotive force generated is large. 0 When a lean air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder, relatively large amount of oxygen remains in the exhaust gases even after the catalytic action, and this results in a small difference in the oxy- gen ion concentration between the tube’s internal and external surfaces. The electromotive force in this case is very small. 0 The difference in oxygen concentration changes drastically in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and hence the change in the electromotive force is also large. By using this informa- tion, the ECM can determine the air-fuel ratio of the supplied mixture easily. The front oxygen sen- sor does not generate much electromotive force when the temperature is low. The output charac- teristics of the sensor stabilize at a temperature of approximately 700°C (1,292″F).

CONTROL SYSTEM Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

C: FUEL INJECTION CONTROL 0 The ECM receives signals from various sensors and based on them, it determines the amount of fuel injected and the fuel injection timing. It performs the sequential fuel injection control over the entire engine operating range except during start-up of the engine. 0 The amount of fuel injected depends upon the length of time the injector stays open. The fuel injection duration is determined according to varying operating condition of the engine. For the purpose of achieving highly responsive and accurate fuel injection duration control, the ECM per- forms a new feedback control that incorporates a learning feature as detailed later. 0 The sequential fuel injection control is performed such that fuel is injected accurately at the time when the maximum air intake efficiency can be achieved for each cylinder (i.e., fuel injection is completed just before the intake valve begins to open).

1. FUEL INJECTION DURATION Fuel injection duration is basically determined as indicated below: 0 During engine start-up: The duration defined below is used.

0 Duration of fuel injection during engine start-up ….. Determined according to the engine cool- ant temperature detected by the engine coolant temperature sensor.

0 During normal operation: The duration is determined as follows:

Basic duration of fuel injection x Correction factors + Voltage correction time 0 Basic duration of fuel injection ….. The basic length of time fuel is injected. This is determined by two factors -the amount of intake air detected by the manifold pressure sensor and the en- gine speed monitored by the crankshaft position sensor. 0 Correction factors ….. See the next section. 0 Voltage correction time ….. This is added to compensate for the time lag before operation of injector that results from variation in the battery voltage.

2. CORRECTION FACTORS The following factors are used to correct the basic duration of fuel injection in order to make the air-fuel ratio meet the requirements of varying engine operating conditions: 0 Air-fuel ratio feedback factor: This factor is used to correct the basic duration of fuel injection in relation to the actual engine speed. (See the next section for more detail.) 0 Start increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration only while the engine is being cranked to improve its startability. 0 Coolant-temperature-dependent increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration depending on engine coolant temperature signals to facilitate cold starting. The lower the coolant temperature, the greater the increment. 0 After-start increment factor:

0 This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration for a certain period immediately after start of the engine to stabilize engine operation. 0 The increment depends on the coolant temperature at the start of the engine.

0 Wide-open-throttle increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration depending on the relationship between the throttle position sensor signal and manifold pressure sensor signal. 0 Acceleration increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration to compensate for a time lag between air flow measurement and fuel injection control for better engine response to driver’s pedal operation during acceleration.

3. AIR-FUEL RATIO FEEDBACK FACTOR The ECM creates this factor utilizing the front oxygen sensor signal. When the signal voltage is low, the air-fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric ratio. The ECM then makes the fuel injection dura- tion shorter by modifying the factor. When the voltage is high showing that the mixture is lean, the ECM modifies the factor to make the injection duration longer. In this way, the air-fuel ratio is main- tained at a level close to the stoichiometric ratio at which the three-way catalyst acts most effective- ly.

C: High oxygen density

D: Low oxygen density

E: Lean signal

F: Rich signal

4. LEARNING FEATURE The air-fuel ratio feedback control includes a learning feature which contributes to more accurate and responsive control. 0 In the air-fuel ratio feedback control, the ECM calculates the necessary amount of correction based on data from the oxygen sensor and adds the result to the basic duration (which is stored in the ECM’s memory for each condition defined by the engine speed and various loads.) 0 Without a learning feature, the ECM carries out the above-mentioned process every time. This means that if the amount of necessary correction is large, the air-fuel ratio feedback control be- comes less responsive and less accurate.

The learning feature enables the ECM to store the amount of correction into memory and add it to the basic fuel injection duration to create a new reference fuel injection duration. Using the reference duration as the basic duration for the injection a few times later, the ECM can reduce the amount of correction and thus make its feedback control more accurate and responsive to changes in the air-fuel ratio due to difference in driving condition and sensor/actuator characteris- tics that may result from unit-to-unit variation or aging over time.

The malfunction indicator lamp (CHECK ENGINE light) on the combina- tion meter indicates occurrence of a fault or abnormality. 0 When the malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a result of detection of a fault by the ECM, the corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and freeze frame engine condition are stored in the ECM. 0 On the OBD-I1 conformable car, it is necessary to connect the Subaru Select Monitor (SSM) or General Scan Tool (GST) to the data link connector in order to check the DTC. 0 The SSM and GST can read and erase DTCs.

GENERAL Fuel lniection (Fuel System)

1. General 0 The Multipoint Fuel Injection (MFI) system supplies optimum air-fuel mixture under every engine operating condition through the use of the latest electronic control technology. This system pressurizes the fuel to a constant pressure and injects it into each intake air port in the cylinder head. The injection quantity of fuel is controlled by an intermittent injection system where an electro-magnetic injection valve or injector opens for a short period that is precisely con- trolled depending on the quantity of air appropriate for each condition of operation. In actual con- trol, an optimum fuel injection quantity is achieved by varying the duration of an electric pulse ap- plied to the injector. This way of control enables simple, yet highly precise metering of the fuel. 0 The engine control module (ECM) that controls the fuel injection system corrects the fuel injec- tion amount depending on the vehicle speed, throttle opening, coolant temperature and other ve- hicle-operation-related information. The ECM receives the information in the form of electric sig- nals from the corresponding sensors and switches. The MFI system also has the following features: 0 Reduced exhaust emissions 0 Reduced fuel consumption 0 Increased engine output 0 Quick response to accelerator and brake pedal operation 0 Superior startability and warm-up performance in cold weather due to corrective controls made according to coolant and intake air temperatures

AIR LINE Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

2. Air Line A: GENERAL The air filtered by the air cleaner enters the throttle body where it is regulated in the volume by the throttle valve and then enters the intake manifold. It is then distributed to each cylinder where the air is mixed with fuel injected by the injector. During idling operation, air flows into the cylinder through the idle air control solenoid valve, bypassing the throttle valve. This enables controlling the engine idling speed properly.

B: PRESSURE SENSOR The pressure sensor is attached to the top of the throttle body, and continuously sends to the en- gine control module (ECM) voltage signals that are proportional to intake manifold absolute pres- sures. The ECM controls the fuel injection and ignition timing based on the intake manifold abso- lute pressure signals in addition to other signals from many sensors and other control modules.

When the output voltage is at another predeter- mined level, the ECM recognizes that the throttle valve is at a wide open position. Since the output characteristics of the sensor change over years, the ECM is provided with a learning function to be able to interpret signals into throttle valve angles always correctly.

AIR LINE Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

G: TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVES 0 A tumble generator valve is provided on each engine bank, between the intake manifold and intake air ports. The right bank tumble generator valve has butterfly valves for the #I and #3 cylin- ders and the left bank tumble generator valve has those for the #2 and #4 cylinders. The two butter- fly valves in each tumble generator valve are fitted on a single shaft that is driven by an actuator. 0 The tumble generator valves are controlled by the ECM according to the coolant temperature and the time elapsed after start of the engine. When the engine is started, the butterfly valves are moved to the closing ends. In this state, the intake air flows at very high speeds passing through narrowed passages in the directions determined by the individual intake air ports in the cylinder head. This creates tumbling air motions in the cylinders, which enables lean mixtures to be ignited and thus harmful exhaust emissions to be reduced during engine start. The tumble generator valves are fully open when the engine is operating at an ordinary driving speed, allowing intake air to flow without being changed in direction and velocity.

FUEL LINE Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

3. Fuel Line A: GENERAL 0 The fuel pressurized by the fuel tank inside pump is delivered to each fuel injector by way of the fuel pipe and fuel filter. Fuel injection pressure is regulated to an optimum level by the pressure regulator. 0 Each injector injects fuel into the intake port of the corresponding cylinder where the fuel is mixed with air. The mixture then enters the cylinder. Fuel injection amount and timing are regulated by the ECM.

B: PRESSURE REGULATOR The pressure regulator is installed at the injector end of the fuel supply line. It has a fuel chamber and spring chamber separated by a diaphragm. Fuel chamber is connected to the fuel supply line and the spring chamber is connected to the intake manifold. Fuel chamber also has a relief valve connected to the fuel return line through which fuel returns to the fuel tank. When the intake manifold vacuum increases, the diaphragm is pulled and the relief valve opens to decrease the fuel supply line pressure (or fuel injection pressure). When the intake manifold vacuum decreases, the diaphragm is pushed by the spring to increase the fuel supply line pressure. Thus, the differ- ence between the fuel injection pressure and the intake manifold vacuum is kept at a constant level of 294 kPa (3.00 kgf/cm2, 43.0 psi) to precisely control the amount of injected fuel.

The needle valve is lifted by the solenoid which is energized on arrival of the valve open signal. 0 Since the injector’s nozzle hole area, the lift of valve and the fuel pressure are kept constant, the amount of fuel injected is controlled only by varying the duration of the valve open signal from the ECM. 0 The multi-hole nozzle makes it possible for the injector to produce fire fuel particles, which en- hances the combustion efficiency and output performance of the engine.

0 When the ignition switch is turned ON, fuel pump relay is activated. Then the motor operates to rotate the impeller. 0 As the impeller rotates, fuel in a vane groove of the impeller flows along the fuel passage into the next vane groove by centrifugal force. When fuel flows from one groove to the next, a pressure difference occurs due to friction. This creates a pumping effect. 0 The fuel pushed up by rotation of the impeller then passes through the clearance between the armature and the magnet of the motor and is discharged through the check valve. 0 When the fuel discharge pressure reaches the specified level, the relief valve opens and excess fuel is released into the fuel tank. In this manner, the relief valve prevents an abnormal increase in fuel pressure. 0 When the engine and the fuel pump stop, spring force acts on the check valve to close the dis- charge port, so that the fuel pressure in the fuel delivery line is retained.

Sensors and Switches A: FRONT OXYGEN (NF) SENSOR 0 The front oxygen sensor uses zirconium oxide (Zr02) which is a solid electrolyte, at portions ex- posed to exhaust gas. 0 The zirconium oxide has the property of generating electromotive force when its both sides are exposed to oxygen ions of different concentration and the magnitude of this electromotive force depends on how much the difference is. 0 The front oxygen sensor detects the amount of oxygen in exhaust gases by making use of this property of the zirconium oxide material. 0 The zirconium oxide material is formed into a closed end tube and its external surface is ex- posed to exhaust gases with smaller oxygen ion concentration, whereas its internal surface is ex- posed to atmospheric air. The external surface has a porous platinum coating. The sensor housing is grounded to the exhaust pipe and the inside is connected to the ECM through the harness to be able to use the current output from the sensor. 0 The sensor incorporates a ceramic heater to improve its performance at low temperatures.

0 When rich air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder, the oxygen in the exhaust gases is almost com- pletely used in the catalytic reaction by the platinum coating on the external surface of the zirconia tube. This results in avery large difference in the oxygen ion concentration between the inside and outside of the tube, and the electromotive force generated is large. 0 When a lean air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder, relatively large amount of oxygen remains in the exhaust gases even after the catalytic action, and this results in a small difference in the oxy- gen ion concentration between the tube’s internal and external surfaces. The electromotive force in this case is very small. 0 The difference in oxygen concentration changes drastically in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and hence the change in the electromotive force is also large. By using this informa- tion, the ECM can determine the air-fuel ratio of the supplied mixture easily. The front oxygen sen- sor does not generate much electromotive force when the temperature is low.

CONTROL SYSTEM Fuel Injection (Fuel System)

C: FUEL INJECTION CONTROL 0 The ECM receives signals from various sensors and based on them, it determines the amount of fuel injected and the fuel injection timing. It performs the sequential fuel injection control over the entire engine operating range except during start-up of the engine. 0 The amount of fuel injected depends upon the length of time the injector stays open. The fuel injection duration is determined according to varying operating condition of the engine. For the purpose of achieving highly responsive and accurate fuel injection duration control, the ECM per- forms a new feedback control that incorporates a learning feature as detailed later. 0 The sequential fuel injection control is performed such that fuel is injected accurately at the time when the maximum air intake efficiency can be achieved for each cylinder (i.e., fuel injection is completed just before the intake valve begins to open).

1. FUEL INJECTION DURATION Fuel injection duration is basically determined as indicated below:

During engine start-up: The duration defined below is used.

0 Duration of fuel injection during engine start-up . . . . . Determined according to the engine cool- ant temperature detected by the engine coolant temperature sensor.

0 During normal operation: The duration is determined as follows:

Basic duration of fuel injection x Correction factors + Voltage correction time Basic duration of fuel injection ….. The basic length of time fuel is injected. This is determined

by two factors -the amount of intake air detected by the manifold pressure sensor and the en- gine speed monitored by the crankshaft position sensor. 0 Correction factors ….. See the next section. 0 Voltage correction time ….. This is added to compensate for the time lag before operation of injector that results from variation in the battery voltage.

2. CORRECTION FACTORS The following factors are used to correct the basic duration of fuel injection in order to make the air-fuel ratio meet the requirements of varying engine operating conditions: 0 Air-fuel ratio feedback factor: This factor is used to correct the basic duration of fuel injection in relation to the actual engine speed. (See the next section for more detail.) 0 Start increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration only while the engine is being cranked to improve its startability. 0 Coolant-temperature-dependent increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration depending on engine coolant temperature signals to facilitate cold starting. The lower the coolant temperature, the greater the increment. 0 After-start increment factor:

0 This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration for a certain period immediately after start of the engine to stabilize engine operation. 0 The increment depends on the coolant temperature at the start of the engine.

0 Wide-open-throttle increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration depending on the relationship between the throttle position sensor signal and manifold pressure sensor signal. 0 Acceleration increment factor: This factor is used to increase the fuel injection duration to compensate for a time lag between air flow measurement and fuel injection control for better engine response to driver’s pedal operation during acceleration.

3. AIR-FUEL RATIO FEEDBACK FACTOR The ECM creates this factor utilizing the front oxygen sensor signal. When the signal voltage is low, the air-fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric ratio. The ECM then makes the fuel injection dura- tion shorter by modifying the factor. When the voltage is high showing that the mixture is lean, the ECM modifies the factor to make the injection duration longer. In this way, the air-fuel ratio is main- tained at a level close to the stoichiometric ratio at which the three-way catalyst acts most effective- ly.

4. LEARNING FEATURE The air-fuel ratio feedback control includes a learning feature which contributes to more accurate and responsive control. 0 In the air-fuel ratio feedback control, the ECM calculates the necessary amount of correction based on data from the oxygen sensor and adds the result to the basic duration (which is stored in the ECM’s memory for each condition defined by the engine speed and various loads.) 0 Without a learning feature, the ECM carries out the above-mentioned process every time. This means that if the amount of necessary correction is large, the air-fuel ratio feedback control be- comes less responsive and less accurate. 0 The learning feature enables the ECM to store the amount of correction into memory and add it to the basic fuel injection duration to create a new reference fuel injection duration. Using the reference duration as the basic duration for the injection a few times later, the ECM can reduce the amount of correction and thus make its feedback control more accurate and responsive to changes in the air-fuel ratio due to difference in driving condition and sensor/actuator characteris- tics that may result from unit-to-unit variation or aging over time.

During that period, the ignition timing is fixed at IO» BTDC by using the IO» signal from the crank- shaft position sensor.

6. On-board Diagnosis System A: GENERAL 0 The on-board diagnosis system detects and indicates a fault by generating a code correspond- ing to each fault location. The malfunction indicator lamp (CHECK ENGINE light) on the combina- tion meter indicates occurrence of a fault or abnormality. 0 When the malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a result of detection of a fault by the ECM, the corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and freeze frame engine condition are stored in the ECM. 0 On the OBD-II conformable car, it is necessary to connect the Subaru Select Monitor (SSM) or General Scan Tool (GST) to the data link connector in order to check the DTC. 0 The SSM and GST can read and erase DTCs. They can also read freeze frame data in addition to other pieces of engine data. 0 If there is a failure involving sensors which may affect drive control of the vehicle, the fail-safe function ensures minimum level of driveability.

B: FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION For a sensor or switch which has been judged faulty in the on-board diagnosis, the ECM, if ap- propriate, generates an associated pseudo signal to keep the vehicle operational. (The control becomes degraded.)

CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

3. Crankcase Emission Control System 0 The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system prevents air pollution which will be caused by blow-by gas being emitted from the crankcase. The system consists of a sealed oil filler cap, rocker covers with fresh air inlet, connecting hoses, a PCV valve and an air intake duct. 0 In a part-throttle condition, the blow-by gas in the crankcase flows into the intake manifold through the connecting hose of crankcase and PCV valve by the strong vacuum created in the intake manifold. Under this condition, fresh air is introduced into the crankcase through the con- necting hose of the rocker cover. 0 In a wide-open-throttle condition, a part of blow-by gas flows into the air intake duct through the connecting hose and is drawn into the throttle chamber, because under this is condition, the intake manifold vacuum is not strong enough to introduce through the PCV valve all blow-by gases that increase in the amount with engine speed.

TH RE E-WAY CATALYST Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

4. Three-way Catalyst 0 The basic material of three-way catalyst is platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh) and palladium (Pd), and a thin coat of their mixture is applied onto honeycomb or porous ceramics of an oval shape (carri- er). To avoid damaging the catalyst, only unleaded gasoline should be used. 0 The catalyst reduces HC, CO and NOx in exhaust gases through chemical reactions (oxidation and reduction). These harmful components are reduced most efficiently when their concentra- tions are in a certain balance. These concentrations vary with the air-fuel ratio. The ideal air-fuel ratio for reduction of these components is the stoichiometric ratio. 0 Therefore, the air-fuel ratio needs to be controlled to around the stoichiometric ratio to purify the exhaust gases most efficiently.

EC-8

Page 95: Subaru Impreza 2002 Service Manual

A/F CONTROL SYSTEM Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

5. A/F Control System 0 The aidfuel (A/F) control system makes a correction to the basic fuel injection duration in accor- dance with the signal from the front oxygen sensor so that the stoichiometric ratio is maintained, thus ensuring most effective exhaust gas purification by the three-way catalyst. Different basic fuel injection durations are preset for various engine speeds and loads, as well as the amount of intake air. 0 This system also has a “learning” control function which stores the corrected data in relation to the basic fuel injection in the memory map. This allows an appropriate air-fuel ratio correction to be added automatically in quick response to any situation that requires such an effect. Thus, the air-fuel ratio is optimally maintained under various conditions while purifying exhaust gases most effectively, improving driving performance and compensating for changes in sensors’ perfor- mance over time.

IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM I

Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

6. Ignition Control System 0 The ignition system is controlled by the ECM. The ECM monitors the operating condition of the engine using the signals from the sensors and switches shown below and determines the ignition timing most appropriate for each engine oper- ating condition. Then it sends a signal to the ignitor, commanding generation of a spark at that timing. 0 The ECM uses a preprogrammed map for a “closed-loop” control which provides its ignition tim- ing control with excellent transient characteristics, i.e., highly responsive ignition timing control.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

7. Evaporative Emission Control System A: GENERAL 0 The evaporative emission control system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into atmosphere. This system includes a canister, purge control solenoid valve, fuel cut valve, and the lines connect- ing them. 0 Fuel vapors in the fuel tank is introduced into the canister through the evaporation line, and are absorbed by activated carbon in it. The fuel cut valve is also incorporated in the fuel tank line. 0 The purge control solenoid valve is controlled optimally by the ECM according to the engine condition. 0 The pressure control solenoid valve incorporated in the fuel tank evaporation line regulates the pressure/vacuum in the fuel tank under the control of the ECM which uses the signal from the fuel tank pressure sensor.

C: FUEL TANK CAP The fuel tank cap has a relief valve which prevents development of vacuum in the fuel tank in the event of a problem with the fuel vapor line. When there is no problem with the fuel vapor line, the filler pipe is sealed at the portion (A) and by the seal pressed against the filler pipe end. If vacuum develops in the fuel tank, the atmospheric pressure forces the spring down to open the valve; consequently outside air flows into the fuel tank, thus controlling the inside pressure.

It adjusts the fuel tank inside pressure under the control of the ECM. When the tank inside pressure becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure, the valve is opened allowing fuel vapors to be introduced into the canister. On the other hand, when the tank inside pressure becomes lower than the atmospheric pressure, external air is taken from the drain valve into the canister. The pressure control solenoid valve can also be electrically closed for the system diagnosis pur- poses.

ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR) SYSTEM Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

8. On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) System A: GENERAL The on-board refueling vapor recovery system allows the fuel vapors in the fuel tank to be introduced directly into the canister through the vent valve when the fuel tank inside pressure in- creases as a result of refueling. The diagnosis of the system is performed by monitoring the fuel tank inside pressure data from the fuel tank pressure sensor while forcibly closing the drain valve.

B: OPERATION 0 While driving Since the back side of the diaphragm in the pressure control solenoid valve is open to the atmo- sphere, the diaphragm is held pressed by the atmospheric pressure in the position where only the external air is introduced into the canister. When the fuel vapor pressure acting on the other side of the diaphragm increases and overcomes the atmospheric pressure, it pushes the diaphragm and opens the port through which the fuel vapors make their way to the canister.

When the inside pressure be- comes higher than the atmospheric pressure, the port of the vent valve opens, allowing the fuel vapors to be introduced into the canister through the vent line. The fuel vapors are absorbed by charcoal in the canister, so the air discharged from the drain valve contains no fuel. When a filler gun is inserted, the shut-off valve closes the evaporation line.

Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

F: PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE The fuel tank pressure control solenoid valve is located in the evaporation line between the shut-off valve on fuel filler pipe and the fuel tank. It adjusts the fuel tank inside pressure under the control of the ECM. When the tank inside pressure becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure, the valve is opened allowing fuel vapors to be introduced into the canister. On the other hand, when the tank inside pressure becomes lower than the atmospheric pressure, external air is taken from the drain valve into the canister. The pressure control solenoid valve can also be electrically closed for the system diagnosis pur- poses.

H: VENT VALVE The vent valve is located on the fuel tank. During filling the fuel tank, fuel vapors are introduced into the canister through the vent valve. When the fuel vapor pressure becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure and overcomes the spring force which is applied to the back side of the diaphragm, the port toward the canister is opened. The vent valve also has afloat which blocks the fuel vapor passage when the tank is filled up. Increasing fuel level raises the float to close the port toward the canister.

ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR) SYSTEM Emission Control (Aux. Emission Control Devices)

8. On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) System A: GENERAL The on-board refueling vapor recovery system allows the fuel vapors in the fuel tank to be introduced directly into the canister through the vent valve when the fuel tank inside pressure in- creases as a result of refueling. The diagnosis of the system is performed by monitoring the fuel tank inside pressure data from the fuel tank pressure sensor while forcibly closing the drain valve.

B: OPERATION 0 While driving Since the back side of the diaphragm in the pressure control solenoid valve is open to the atmo- sphere, the diaphragm is held pressed by the atmospheric pressure in the position where only the external air is introduced into the canister. When the fuel vapor pressure acting on the other side of the diaphragm increases and overcomes the atmospheric pressure, it pushes the diaphragm and opens the port through which the fuel vapors make their way to the canister.

0 While refueling As the fuel enters the fuel tank, the tank inside pressure increases. When the inside pressure be- comes higher than the atmospheric pressure, the port of the vent valve opens, allowing the fuel vapors to be introduced into the canister through the vent line. The fuel vapors are absorbed by charcoal in the canister, so the air discharged from the drain valve contains no fuel. When a filler gun is inserted, the shut-off valve closes the evaporation line.

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM Intake (Induction)

2. Turbocharger System A: GENERAL 0 The turbocharger system consists of a water-cooled turbocharger, air-cooled intercooler, waste- gate control solenoid valve, etc. 0 The outlet side turbine, rotated by exhaust gas pressure, rotates the inlet side turbine. As a re- sult, the inlet side turbine compresses the intake air before it is delivered to the intake manifold. 0 The intake air is heated when it passes through the turbocharger unit. The air is cooled as it passes through the intercooler. 0 This turbocharger system controls the supercharging pressure according to changes in the at- mospheric pressure. Even at a high altitude, therefore, the system offers stable performance with- out being affected by variations in atmospheric pressure.

C: LUBRICATION OF TURBOCHARGER The turbocharger is lubricated by engine oil branched out from the oil pump. To cope with very high speed of the turbocharger turbine and the compressor shaft which may reach a maximum of several hundred thousands of rpm, full-floating type bearings are used which can form ade- quate oil films on their inside and outside during running. Further the oil supplied to the turbocharger also plays a role of cooling the turbine so that heat from exhaust gas does not transmitted to the bearings.

D: COOLING OF TURBOCHARGER The turbocharger unit is cooled by engine coolant, which enhances the reliability and durability of the unit. The engine coolant from the coolant drain hose located under the cylinder head is led by a pipe to the coolant passage provided in the turbocharger bearing housing. After cooling the bearing housing, the engine coolant is led into the coolant filler tank through a pipe.

E: WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE The wastegate control solenoid valve switches the intake air pressure passages to the wastegate controller in response to signals from the ECM. When the solenoid valve is closed, the intake air pressure upstream of the turbocharger unit is applied to the wastegate controller. When the sole- noid valve is opened, the intake air pressure downstream of the turbocharger unit (supercharged air pressure) is applied to the wastegate controller.

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM Intake (Induction)

F: REGULATION OF SUPERCHARGING PRESSURE 1. BASIC FUNCTION OF THE WASTEGATE VALVE When the engine speed increases as the throttle valve opens, the amount of exhaust gas in- creases. This increases the speed of the turbine (approx. 20,000 to 150,000 rpm), the supercharg- ing pressure and the engine output. If the resultant supercharging pressure is extremely high, however, it may cause knocking and an excessively high thermal load on such engine components as pistons. In the worst case, the en- gine may be damaged or broken. To prevent this, the wastegate valve and its controller are pro- vided. By sensing the supercharging pressure, the wastegate valve controller controls the opera- tion of the wastegate valve to maintain the supercharging pressure below a predetermined level.

NF0347

(1 ) Wastegate valve

(2) Turbocharger

(3) Wastegate valve controller

While the supercharging pressure is lower than the predetermined level, the wastegate valve is closed so that entire exhaust gas is directed to the turbine.

NF0348

IN-7

Page 140: Subaru Impreza 2002 Service Manual

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM Intake (Induction)

When the supercharging pressure reaches the predetermined level, the wastegate controller lets the supercharging pressure press the diaphragm. This causes the wastegate valve to open through a linkage. With the wastegate valve open, part of the exhaust gas is allowed to flow into the exhaust gas pipe that bypasses the passage to the turbine. This decreases the exhaust gas pressure that rotates the turbine and keeps the supercharging pressure constant. 0 It means P2 — P1 = constant. PI: Atmospheric pressure P2: Supercharging pressure

NF0349

2. CONCEPT OF THE WASTEGATE VALVE CONTROL At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure (PI) is low, so that the supercharging pressure (P2) is also low in a conventional system. The wastegate solenoid valve operates in such a way that a constant supercharging pressure (P2) is maintained by acting in response to change in the atmo- spheric pressure.

NF0350

Page 141: Subaru Impreza 2002 Service Manual

TURBOCHARGER SYSTEM Intake (Induction)

G: INTERCOOLER 0 Since the intake air having passed through the turbocharger unit is heated to avery high temper- ature, the air itself is expanded, resulting in a lower supercharging charging efficiency. The inter- cooler is provided just before the throttle body to cool down the intake air and improve the super- charging efficiency. 0 The intercooler is an air cooled type. The air delivered from the air duct provided at the engine hood flows through the core and cools the intake air passing through the intercooler.

H: AIR BYPASS VALVE When a throttle valve is suddenly closed, low air suction noise may occur due to a sudden rise of the air pressure in the passage between the turbocharger and throttle body. To prevent this, an air bypass valve and air passage are provided. The air bypass valve, actuated by the vacuum created by a sudden closure of the throttle valve, allows the suction air to bypass the turbocharger and flow directly upstream, thus lowering the pressure in the air passage.

1. General The engine used in this vehicle is of a horizontally opposed, four-cylinder design. This four-stroke- cycle, water-cooled, SOHC engine uses a total of 16 valves and its main components are made of aluminum alloy. It is fueled by a multiple fuel injection system. The engine’s major structural and functional features are as follows: 0 The cylinder head forms pentroof combustion chambers, each having a spark plug located at its center and two each of intake and exhaust valves (four valves per cylinder). The intake and ex- haust ports are located in a cross-flow arrangement. 0 There are a screw and nut at the valve end of each rocker arm. They are used for adjusting the valve clearance. 0 A single timing belt drives two camshafts on the left and right banks and the engine coolant pump on the left bank. Belt tension is automatically adjusted by a belt tension adjuster, eliminating need for a manual adjustment. 0 The crankshaft is supported by five bearings with high rigidity and strength. 0 The cylinder block is an aluminum die casting fitted with iron die-cast cylinder liners.

3. Automatic Belt Tension Adjuster The automatic belt tension adjuster consists of a tensioner unit and a bracket. It maintains the tim- ing belt tension automatically at a specified level to enable the belt to transmit power correctly, reduce operating noise and increase the life of the belt. The cylinder of the tensioner unit incorporates an adjuster rod, wear ring, plunger spring, return spring, check ball and silicone oil. The automatic belt tension adjuster gives tension to the belt by a levering action which is produced by the push force of the tensioner unit’s adjuster rod. It operates in the process detailed below.

AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION ADJUSTER Mechanical

0 Timing belt tensioning action When the belt becomes slack, the adjuster rod is pushed upward by the return spring. The oil in the reservoir chamber, which is pressurized by the plunger spring to a certain level, pushes open the check ball and flows into the oil pressure chamber to keep the pressure constant. The thrust force F resulting from extension of the adjuster rod applies a counterclockwise torque to the tensioner bracket, which causes the belt tension pulley at its end to turn in the same direc- tion. This applies tensioning pressure Pb to the timing belt. 0 Timing belt tension balancing action When the belt tension pulley is pushed against the timing belt with pressure Pb, reaction force Tb of the timing belt generates the reaction force P at the point on which the adjustor rod force is act- ing. This force P pushes the adjuster rod until it balances with the sum of the thrust force F and the pressure of the oil in the oil pressure chamber. Therefore, the timing belt tension is kept constant. 0 Overtension correction action If the tension of the timing belt increases excessively, the force P becomes larger than the thrust force F and silicone oil is returned from the oil pressure chamber to the reservoir chamber little by little until the force P balances again with the thrust force F. Thus the timing belt tension is main- tained at the specified level at all times.

AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION ADJUSTER Mechanical

3. Automatic Belt Tension Adjuster The automatic belt tension adjuster consists of a tensioner unit and a bracket. It maintains the tim- ing belt tension automatically at a specified level to enable the belt to transmit power correctly, reduce operating noise and increase the life of the belt. The cylinder of the tensioner unit incorporates an adjuster rod, wear ring, plunger spring, return spring, check ball and silicone oil. The automatic belt tension adjuster gives tension to the belt by a levering action which is produced by the push force of the tensioner unit’s adjuster rod. It operates in the process detailed below.

AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION ADJUSTER Mechanical

0 Timing belt tensioning action When the belt becomes slack, the adjuster rod is pushed upward by the return spring. The oil in the reservoir chamber, which is pressurized by the plunger spring to a certain level, pushes open the check ball and flows into the oil pressure chamber to keep the pressure constant. The thrust force F resulting from extension of the adjuster rod applies a counterclockwise torque to the tensioner bracket, which causes the belt tension pulley at its end to turn in the same direc- tion. This applies tensioning pressure Pb to the timing belt. 0 Timing belt tension balancing action When the belt tension pulley is pushed against the timing belt with pressure Pb, reaction force Tb of the timing belt generates the reaction force P at the point on which the adjustor rod force is act- ing. This force P pushes the adjuster rod until it balances with the sum of the thrust force F and the pressure of the oil in the oil pressure chamber. Therefore, the timing belt tension is kept constant. 0 Overtension correction action If the tension of the timing belt increases excessively, the force P becomes larger than the thrust force F and silicone oil is returned from the oil pressure chamber to the reservoir chamber little by little until the force P balances again with the thrust force F. Thus the timing belt tension is main- tained at the specified level at all times. c- —

BELT COVER

4. Belt Cover 0 The belt cover is made of lightweight, heat resistant synthetic resin molding. It constitutes a total- ly enclosed housing with its cylinder block mating edges sealed with rubber gaskets. This effec- tively protects the inside components from dust and liquid. 0 Rubber seals used between the cylinder block and the belt cover effectively reduces transmis- sion of noise and vibration. 0 The front belt cover has a line mark for ignition-timing checking.

Its open-deck design provides it with such advantageous features as relatively small weight, high rigidity and excellent cooling efficiency. 0 The cylinder liners are made of cast iron. They are dry type which means their outer surfaces are entirely in contact with the cylinder block. 0 The cylinder block supports the crankshaft at its five journals. The journal supporting portions are designed such that sufficient stiffness and quiet operation are ensured. 0 The oil pump is located in the front center of the cylinder block and the engine coolant pump is located at the front of the left-cylinder bank. At the rear of the right-cylinder bank is an oil separa- tor which removes oil mist contained in blow-by gas.

GENERAL Cooling

1. General 0 The engine cooling system consists of a down-flow radiator which features high heat-dissipation performance, an electric-motor-driven fan, a water pump, a thermostat, and an engine coolant temperature sensor. 0 The engine coolant reservoir tank is designed to minimize the need for replenishing coolant. 0 The ECM controls the operation of the radiator main fan and sub fan depending on the signals from the engine coolant temperature sensor, vehicle speed sensor and A/C switch.

COOLING CIRCUITS i$l Coolina

2. Cooling Circuits A: NON-TURBO MODEL The cooling system operates in three different phases depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. 0 1st phase (thermostat closed) When the engine coolant temperature is below 76°C (169″F), the thermostat remains closed. The coolant flows through the bypass and heater circuits. This permits the engine to warm up quickly. 0 2nd phase (thermostat open) When the engine coolant temperature is above 76 — 80°C (169 — 176″F), the thermostat opens. The coolant flows through the radiator where it is cooled. 0 3rd phase (thermostat open and radiator fan operating) When the engine coolant temperature sensor sends a signal indicating a temperature above 95°C (203°F) to the ECM, it causes the radiator fan (or fans) to operate.

3. Water Pump The water pump is located in the front portion of the left bank cylinder block and is driven by the engine through the timing belt. The thermostat is fitted into the coolant inlet at the bottom of the water pump. When the pump’s impeller rotates, the coolant is drawn into the pump from the lower pipe (which is connected to the radiator hose) via the thermostat. It then flows along the perimeter of the impeller and then is discharged for circulation through a circuit depending on the coolant temperature.

I Lubrication

GENERAL

1. General 0 The lubrication system force-circulates engine oil throughout the engine using an oil pump. The oil pressure is regulated by the relief valve built into the oil pump. 0 The oil pump is a thin, large-diameter trochoid rotor type which can accommodate the engine’s high output. The pump is directly driven by the crankshaft. 0 The engine oil is cleaned by a full-flow, paper element type oil filter. The filter has a bypass valve which allows the engine oil to flow bypassing the filter if it is clogged. 0 The inside of the oil pan is fitted with a baffle plate which reduces changes in the oil level due to movement of the vehicle, thus ensuring uninterrupted suction of oil. 0 The engine oil discharged from the oil pump is delivered to the journal bearings, connecting rod bearings, and other parts requiring lubrication and cooling via the vertical passage in the right bank of the cylinder block, the oil filter, and the oil galleries in the right and left banks of the cylinder block. 0 The engine oil is also distributed to each cylinder head valve mechanism at a proper flow rate achieved by metering by the orifice provided in each oil gallery. O- -A water-cooled oil cooler is located between the oil filter and cylinder block to keep the engine oil in an optimum temperature range and prevent degradation of lubrication performance (Turbo model).

OIL PUMP Lubrication

3. Oil Pump 0 The oil pump is a trochoid rotor type consisting of an inner rotor and outer rotor assembled with each other in a pump body. When the inner rotor is driven by the crankshaft, the outer rotor is ro- tated, changing the space between it and the inner rotor. The change in the space occurs because of the difference in the number of teeth between the rotors. 0 Engine oil is drawn into the large space created near the inlet of the pump. It is then carried to the discharge port. As the pump rotates, the space carrying the oil becomes smaller, thus the oil is pressurized and discharged from the outlet port. Oil pressure is regulated by the relief valve built into the pump. Excess oil is directly returned to the inlet port.

1) When oil pressure does not build up (immediately after ignition switch is turned ON): The diaphra-gm is pushed toward the cylinder block by the spring force (a force equivalent to the specified oil pressure). This closes the contact points, causing the oil pressure warning light in the combination meter to illuminate. 2) When oil pressure reaches the specified value (after engine starts): After reaching the specified value of 14.7 kPa (0.15 kgf/cm2, 2.1 psi), the oil pressure pushes the diaphragm overcoming the spring force. This opens the contact points and the oil pressure warn- ing light goes out.

GENERAL

1. General The accelerator outer cable is secured to the accelerator pedal bracket rather than to the toe- board. Securing the outer cable in this way has a merit of making the ratio of throttle valve move- ment to cable stroke less variable. This arrangement is also effective to prevent unsmooth cable return movement that may result from deformation of the toeboard or improper installation of the accelerator pedal and, therefore, to improve safety. In addition, the floating type casing cap through which the cable is attached to the bracket re- duces vibration of the pedal, thus improving quietness.

B: SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM OPERATION The shift lock system has a solenoid-operated plunger (1 ). With the select lever in the “P” position, the plunger remains extended, holding the lock arm (2) in its raised (locking) position. When the brake pedal is depressed with the ignition switch in either the ON or START position, the solenoid is energized and the plunger is retracted. This causes the lock arm to tilt forward to the select lever release position. The select lever now can be moved to any other position. The “P” position of the select lever is detected by the “P” position switch (3).

ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM Automatic Transmission

1. Electrohydraulic Control System A: GENERAL The electrohydraulic control system for the transmission and transfer consists of various sensors and switches, a transmission control module (TCM) and the hydraulic controlling units including solenoid valves. The system controls the automatic transmission operation, including gear shift- ing, lock-up clutch operation, line pressure, automatic control pattern selection (“Base” and “Pow- er’’), and gear-shift timing. It also controls the operation of the transfer clutch. The TCM determines vehicle operating conditions from various input signals and controls a total of eight solenoids (shift solenoids 1 and 2, low clutch timing solenoid, 2-4 brake timing solenoid, line pressure duty sole- noid, lock-up duty solenoid, transfer duty solenoid, and 2-4 brake duty solenoid) by sending ap- propriate signals to them.

J: INHIBITOR SWITCH The inhibitor switch assures safety when starting the engine. This switch is mounted on the right side of the transmission case, and is operated by the selector lever. When the selector lever is set to P or N, the electrical circuit in the inhibitor switch is closed and the starter circuit is completed for cranking the engine. When the selector lever is in the R, D, 3, 2 or 1 range, the electrical circuit in the inhibitor switch is open. Hence engine cranking is disabled. In the R range, the backup light circuit is completed in the switch, and the backup lights come on. In addition to the above function, the inhibitor switch incorporates a circuit for detecting the se- lected range position and sending the range signal to the TCM.

D: LOCK-UP CONTROL 0 The TCM has pre-programmed lock-up clutch engagement and disengagement conditions for each gear and shift pattern. In addition, it specifies engagement of the clutch whenever the 4th gear is selected in the D range. The engagement and disengagement conditions are defined in terms of the throttle valve position and vehicle speed. 0 The TCM controls the operation of the lock-up clutch by means of the duty solenoid which in turn controls the lock-up control valve as described below:

1. NON-LOCK-UP OPERATION The duty solenoid allows the pilot pressure (supplied from the pilot valve) to be applied to the “dis- engaging” end of the lock-up control valve spool. The lock-up control valve then opens the clutch disengaging circuit port to allow the lock-up operating pressure (torque converter clutch regular pressure) to build up in the circuit. On the other hand, the valve opens the clutch engaging circuit’s port and allows the fluid in the circuit to flow to the ATF cooler, thus lowering the pressure in the circuit. As a result, the lock-up clutch is disengaged due to difference in pressure between both circuits. This operation is performed for all the speed gears except the 4th gear of the D range.

r- —

2. LOCK-UP OPERATION The duty solenoid allows the pilot pressure to be applied to the “engaging” end of the lock-up con- trol valve spool. The lock-up control valve then opens the clutch engaging circuit’s port that com- municates to the torque converter’s impeller chamber, allowing high pressure fluid to flow to the lock-up clutch. The clutch then engages. 0 The TCM controls the current to the duty solenoid by gradually changing the duty ratio. As a result, the lock-up control valve also moves gradually, so the clutch engagement pressure in- creases smoothly. This causes the lock-up clutch to become initially in a half-engaged state and then in a fully engaged state, thus preventing shock during engagement. This operation is performed for all the speed gears and always when the 4th gear is selected in the D range.

E: LINE-PRESSURE CONTROL 0 The oil pump delivery pressure (line pressure) is regulated to a constant pressure by the pilot valve. This pressure is used as the pilot pressure for controlling spool valves. 0 The pilot pressure applied to the pressure modifier valve is modulated by the line pressure duty solenoid into the pressure modifier pressure. 0 The pressure modifier valve is an auxiliary valve for the pressure regulator valve, and it creates a signal pressure (pressure modifier pressure). The pressure modifier pressure is used to regulate the line pressure to a level optimum for a particular driving condition. 0 This pressure modifier pressure is applied to the pressure regulator valve which controls the oil pump delivery pressure. 0 The pressure modifier pressure from the pressure modifier valve is cushioned by the pressure modifier accumulator to remove pulsation of the pressure.

F: LINE-PRESSURE CONTROL DURING SHIFTING The line pressure which engages shift clutches to create 1st to 4th speeds is controlled by the TCM to meet varying operating conditions.

During gear shifting, the TCM controls the line pressure as follows: 0 The TCM receives signals such as throttle position signal and accelerator pedal speed signal. Based on these input signals, it issues a control signal to the line pressure duty solenoid. 0 The pressure from the line pressure duty solenoid (line pressure duty pressure) is converted by the pressure modifier valve into a modifier pressure, and the modifier pressure is applied to the pressure regulator valve. 0 The pressure regulator valve adjusts the oil-pump-generated line pressure according to the modifier pressure to make the line pressure matched to the driving condition.

H: GRADE CONTROL While the vehicle is driving up a hill, the gear is fixed to the 3rd to avoid repeated gear shift between the 3rd and 4th gears. When the vehicle is descending a steep slope at a speed of approximately 80 km/hour (50 miles/ hour), a 4th to 3rd downshift occurs automatically when the brake pedal is depressed. This gearshift control is cancelled when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The TCM performs these controls based mainly on the throttle opening, engine speed and vehicle speed.

Automatic Transmission

I: LEARNING CONTROL The TCM has a learning control function with which it can adapt gear shift timing optimally to the current vehicle conditions by updating correction factors in the memory. For this reason, gear shift shock may become larger after the power supply is interrupted (discon- nection of battery, flat battery, etc.) or immediately after the ATF is replaced. Larger gear shift shock after power supply interruption occurs because the correction data is reset to those for the new vehicle condition. The TCM starts learning function again as soon as the power supply is restored. After driving for a while, therefore, the transmission will become able to make gear shifts at the optimum timing. Larger shift shock immediately after ATF change is caused by change in friction characteristics of the transmission internal parts. Also in this case, the transmission recovers shockless gear shift- ing after driving for a while.

J: REVERSE INHIBITION CONTROL This control prevents the transmission from shifting into the reverse gear when the select lever is accidentally placed in the R position, thus protecting the components such as reverse clutch from being damaged. If the selector lever is moved to the R position during driving at a speed faster than the predeter- mined speed, the low clutch timing solenoid is energized. Then, the pilot pressure is supplied to the reverse inhibitor valve. This causes the reverse inhibitor valve to move downward, closing the low & reverse brake port. In this condition, the low & reverse brake does not engage since the ATF flowing from the manual valve is blocked by the reverse inhibitor valve. As a result, the transmission is put into the neutral state, and the shifting into the reverse gear is inhibited.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) Automatic Transmission

L: AWD CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL (TURBO MODEL) 1. CONTROL DESCRIPTION The TCM controls the engagement of the center differential’s multi-plate clutch (LSD) using maps that are pre-programmed based on the throttle opening and engine speed. It selects a map ac- cording to driving conditions and use it as the control basis. 2. ORDINARY CONTROL A specific map is given to each of the 1st to 4th gears and the reverse gear for use by the TCM to control the torque distribution appropriately during ordinary driving conditions. The maps are programmed in such a way that the differential action limiting torque decreases as the throttle valve opening decreases and as the vehicle speed increases. This way of control is employed in order to reduce internal circulation of torque and also to improve steering perfor- mance and stability of the vehicle’s behavior when the accelerator pedal is released or when a downshift is performed, thus upgrading the stability achieved by the AWD system. 3. START CONTROL When the vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 MPH), the TCM makes control to generate differential action

This enables the vehicle to start smoothly without swerving even on a slippery road. ,.limiting torque that is proportional to the throttle angle.

4. TURNING CONTROL The TCM makes a correction such that the input torque to the multi-plate clutch steering angle increases. This function is performed to improves turning performance at certain vehicle 5. SLIP CONTROL

When front or rear wheels start slipping with the vehicle running slower than the predetermined speed, the TCM makes control to increase the differential action limiting torque. This function maintains traction and improves driving stability.

6. ABS CONTROL When the TCM receives an ABS operation signal from the ABS unit, it adjusts the differential action limiting torque to the predetermined level and selects the 3rd gear in which the one-way clutch is freewheeling. This function improves ABS control. 7. BASE BRAKE CONTROL When the brake switch is ON and the throttle valve is fully closed, the TCM makes control to de- crease the differential action limiting torque. The ABS control has priority over this control. This function improves stability during braking. 8. 1 RANGE CONTROL When the 1 range is selected, the TCM makes control to increase the differential action limiting torque. This function improves driving performance and traction. 9. CONTROL SYSTEM The TCM is constantly monitoring the driving conditions of the vehicle using the eleven input sig- nals. Based on the conditions it has determined, the TCM adjusts the duty ratio of current to the transfer duty solenoid thus changing the engagement of the multi-plate clutch. The input signals are used also for automatic transmission control.

The transfer hydraulic pressure control unit includes a valve body attached to the side of the exten- sion case through a gasket and separator plate. The pressurized fluids for the transfer hydraulic pressure control (line pressure and pilot pressure) are supplied from the oil pump by way of the passages formed in the transmission case and then the passages in the extension case that lead to the hydraulic circuit in the transfer valve body. The line pressure is regulated by the transfer control valve whose opening is controlled by the transfer pressure created by the transfer duty solenoid. 0 The transfer duty solenoid is controlled by the TCM. The TCM changes the solenoid controlling duty ratio according to the driving conditions. 0 The transfer duty solenoid creates the transfer pressure from the pilot pressure. The transfer pressure is applied to the transfer control valve and adjusts the valve’s opening. 0 The line pressure directly led to the transfer control valve, on the other hand, is regulated by the transfer control valve and becomes the transfer clutch pressure. 0 -The transfer clutch pressure is applied to the transfer clutch and engages the clutch to a con- trolled degree. In this way, the degree of transfer clutch engagement is varied so that optimum torque is distrib- uted to the rear wheels according to vehicle driving conditions.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION Automatic Transmission

4. Fail-safe Function The fail-safe control function ensures minimum level of driveability even if a fault should occur in the vehicle speed sensors, throttle position sensor, inhibitor switch, or any of the solenoids. 0 FRONT AND REAR VEHICLE SPEED SENSORS A dual speed-sensing system is used. The speed signal is taken from the transmission (by the out- put shaft speed sensor). Even if one sensor system fails, the vehicle can be controlled normally with the other normally operating sensor system. If both the front and rear vehicle speed sensors become faulty, the vehicle is made to operate only in the 1st and 3rd speeds. 0 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR If the throttle position sensor becomes faulty, the throttle opening is fixed at the predetermined angle. 0 INHIBITOR SWITCH If the TCM receives different signals simultaneously from a faulty inhibitor switch, it selects a range in the following priority: D > N ( P ) > R > 3 > 2 > 1 > 0 SHIFT SOLENOID 1 AND 2 If a fault occurs in either of solenoids 1 and 2, both the solenoids are de-energized, and the gear is held in the 3rd.

r. —

If both the solenoids should fail, the TCM invariably selects and keeps the 3rd gear. 0 LINE PRESSURE DUTY SOLENOID If the line pressure duty solenoid fails, the solenoid is de-energized and the line pressure is raised to the maximum to enable the vehicle to operate. In this condition, the usable gears are limited to the 1st and 3rd.

If the lock-up duty solenoid fails, the solenoid is de-energized and the lock-up clutch is disen- gaged. 0 TRANSFER DUTY SOLENOID When the transfer duty solenoid becomes faulty, it is de-energized. This causes maximum oil pres- sure to be applied to the transfer clutch so that the power is always transmitted to the rear axle (direct-coupled AWD condition).

If a fault occurs in the 2-4 brake duty solenoid, the solenoid is de-energized and the usable gears are limited to the 1st and 3rd.

If a fault occurs in the low clutch timing solenoid, the solenoid is de-energized and the usable gears are limited to the 1st and 3rd.

GENERAL Manual Transmission and Differential

1. General The Impreza’s single-range manual transmission is of a full-time all-wheel-drive design integrating a transmission assembly, front differential, and transfer gear assembly with center differential into a single unit. The transmission creates five forward speeds and one reverse using the correspond- ing gears all provided with inertia lock-key type synchronizers. The transmission and front differential are housed in an aluminum case which is split into right and left halves and constitutes also a clutch housing. Located at the rear and joined each other are the transfer case and extension case which house the transfer gears and center differential as well as part of the transmission assembly. The major features of the transmission are as follows: 0 The forward speed gears are helical gears featuring high tooth face strength, large tooth contact areas, and quiet operation. 0 Reversing rotation is achieved by making a slidable reverse idler gear engage with both the re- verse drive gear on the mainshaft and the reverse driven gear integral with the 1st-2nd synchroniz- er hub on the drive pinion shaft. The center differential compensates for the difference in front and rear axle speeds. It consists of

—a bevel gear set and a viscous coupling located at its rear end which are housed in a single case. The center differential, together with a pair of transfer gears, transmits the power from the transmis- sion to the drive pinion shaft (front wheel drive shaft) and the rear drive shaft. The viscous coupling functions as a differential-action-control element.

REVERSE CHECK MECHANISM Manual Transmission and Differential

2. Reverse Check Mechanism Located in the transfer case, the reverse check mechanism prevents a direct 5th-to-reverse shift by using a selector arm and cam combination which allows the gear to be shifted into the reverse only after it has been returned once into the neutral.

A: CONSTRUCTION The construction of the reverse check mechanism is as shown in the drawing on the opposing page. The reverse check sleeve is bolted to the transfer case and houses the mechanism’s main compo- nents. The reverse accent shaft is slidable inside the reverse check sleeve and its smaller-diameter end is fitted with the reverse check cam. The cam is rotatable and axially movable on the shaft but its leftward movement is restricted by a step formed on the sleeve’s inner wall. The reverse accent shaft has hollows in both ends. In the left end hollow are the 1 st return spring and its cap and in the right end hollow is the reverse return spring which pushes the shaft leftward. Around the check cam is the reverse check spring whose left end applies simultaneous leftward and rotational forces to the cam. Both the reverse check spring and reverse return spring are retained at their right ends by the re- verse check plate which is held in place by the snap ring. The reverse accent shaft has a V-groove in which the detent ball is pressed by the reverse accent spring fitted through the hole in the reverse check sleeve. The reverse check sleeve and reverse accent shaft have a slot and a notch at their bottoms, re- spectively, and he selector arm is inserted in the notch through the slot.

B: OPERATION The drawing below shows the state of the reverse check mechanism when the selector arm is in the neutral position. The 1st and 2nd gears will be selected if the selector arm is moved leftward from this point to a stop and then turned in either way. A rightward movement of the arm to a stop will enable selection of the 5th and reverse gears. In the neutral position, the selector arm receives a rightward force (force toward the 5th and reverse gear side) from the 1st return spring and a leftward force (force toward the 1st and 2nd gear side) from the reverse return spring to stay in that position. The following explanation describes how the selector arm and reverse check mechanism operate when the driver selects the 5th gear and then selects the reverse gear.

2. WHEN SHIFT IS MADE TO 5TH GEAR The selector arm is turned toward the 5th gear selection direction.

3. WHEN A SHIFT FROM 5TH TO REVERSE IS ATTEMPTED The selector arm turns toward the reverse gear while pushing the reverse accent shaft rightward and the reverse check cam counterclockwise (as viewed in the direction of arrows A). The reverse check cam, however, stops to rotate at a point where its stopper hits against the re- verse check plate (this point corresponds to the neutral position in terms of the angle) and pre- vents the selector arm from moving toward the reverse gear selection direction. The selector arm is then axially pushed to the neutral position by the reverse accent shaft which is given a leftward force by the reverse return spring.

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL Manual Transmission and Differential

3. Center Differential A: CONSTRUCTION The center differential consists of a set of bevel gears and a viscous coupling. The center differential has the following two functions: distributing the engine torque to the front and rear wheel drive shafts and absorbing the difference in rotating speed between the front and rear wheels. The engine torque enters the center differential case from the transmission’s driven shaft. The torque is then distributed through the bevel gear set directly to the drive pinion shaft and via the transfer drive and driven gears to the rear drive shaft. The viscous coupling limits the bevel gear set’s differential action when either front or rear wheels spin so that adequate torques are transmitted to the front and rear wheels and proper traction is obtained.

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL Manual Transmission and Differential

B: MECHANISM OF VISCOUS COUPLING The viscous coupling consists of a number of alternately arranged inner and outer plates and air- and-silicone oil mixture filled into a sealed space that is formed by the center differential case and the rear side gear of the differential gear set. The inner plates have their inner perimeters splined to the side gear and the outer plates have their outer perimeters splined to the center differential case. The outer plates are held apart by spacer rings. There are no spacer rings between the inner rings, so the inner rings are movable slightly in axial directions. X-section rings are used to prevent leakage of silicone oil which would otherwise occur if the oil is pressurized due to large difference in front and rear axle speeds.

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL Manual Transmission and Differential

1. TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS When a speed difference occurs between the center differential case and the rear side gear, a shear force is generated in the silicone oil placed between the outer and inner plates. The torque is then transmitted by the silicone oil between the center differential case and the rear side gear. The greater the speed difference, the greater the shear force generated in the silicone oil. The rela- tionship between the torque transmission and the speed difference is shown in the figure below. As can be seen from the figure, the smaller the speed difference, the smaller the torque transmis- sion and the differential action.

4 Speed difference

NF0122

2. HUMP PHENOMENON Silicone oil is heated and expanded as differential action continues. This causes the pressure of air inside the viscous coupling to increase and the pressure of oil between plates to decrease. As a result, the inner and outer plates are pushed together. This direct plate-to-plate contact causes a non-viscous operation to occur, and this phenomenon is called “hump”. The hump eliminates the rotating speed difference between the center differential case and the rear side gear (or locks the differential), so soon after it has occurred, the internal pressure and temperature drop. The viscous coupling then returns to the normal shear torque transmitting op- eration. (The hump phenomenon does not occur under normal operating conditions.)

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL Manual Transmission and Differential

C: FUNCTION When there is no speed difference between the front and rear wheels, the center differential deliv- ers the engine torque to the front and rear wheels at a ratio of 5050. When a rotating speed difference occurs between the front and rear wheels, the center differential operates to absorb it in a controlled way by the function of the viscous coupling.

1. DURING NORMAL DRIVING During straight-line driving on aflat road at a constant speed, all the four wheels rotate at the same speed. The center differential delivers engine torque evenly to the front and rear drive axles. The viscous coupling does not generate shear torque because there is no relative movements be- tween the inner and outer plates.

(B)

NF0123

(1) Engine torque (A) To front differential (B) To rear differential

2. DURING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS During turns at low speeds, rotating speed difference occurs between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the left and right wheels. More particularly, the front wheels rotate faster than the rear wheels. The center differential then acts to absorb the speed difference to enable smooth driving. Although the speed difference is small under this condition, operation of the viscous coupling causes more torque to be transmitted to the rear than to the front.

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL Manual Transmission and Differential

3. DRIVING ON ROUGH OR SLIPPERY ROADS 0 When front wheels are on a slippery surface When the front wheels begin to spin, the resulting speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts causes the viscous coupling to generate significant amount of shear torque. As a re- sult, the torque distributed to the rear wheels becomes much larger than that distributed to the spinning front wheels. The traction and driving stability are thus ensured on a rough or slippery road.

NFO125

0 When rear wheels are on a slippery surface When the vehicle is accelerated quickly from a standing start with the rear wheels on a slippery surface, the distribution of the vehicle weight on the front and rear wheels changes and the rear wheels start spinning. Due to the resulting speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts, the viscous coupling generates a significant amount of shear torque, now in the direction opposite to that generated when the front wheels are on a slippery surface. As a result, the torque distributed to the front wheels becomes much larger than that distributed to the rear wheels.

OUTLINE Clutch

1. Outline A: NON-TURBO MODEL 0 The clutch control operates the release fork using the hydraulic pressure generated in the mas- ter cylinder when the pedal is depressed. This ensures smooth and reliable clutch control with minimum frictional resistance. 0 The clutch itself is a push type clutch. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the self-aligning re- lease bearing is caused to slide on a guide pressing the center of the diaphragm spring. The warped diaphragm spring disengages the pressure plate from the clutch disc. The clutch using a diaphragm spring has the advantage of little variation in push load even when the clutch disc facing is worn. The diaphragm spring is located inside the clutch cover. 0 The clutch has a clutch disc between the flywheel and the pressure plate. 0 Inside the clutch cover, there is a diaphragm spring and a pressure plate combined with each other by means of strap plates, which also serve to prevent the pressure plate from turning.

B: TURBO MODEL 0 The turbo model adopts a hydraulic control which is appropriate for increased clutch load. 0 The clutch control system operates the release fork using the hydraulic pressure that is gener- ated in the master cylinder when the clutch pedal is depressed. 0 The clutch itself is a pull type clutch. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the self-aligning re- lease bearing is caused to slide on a guide pulling the center of the diaphragm spring. The warped diaphragm spring disengages the pressure plate from the clutch disc. The clutch using a diaphragm spring has the advantage of little variation in push load even when the clutch disc facing is worn. The diaphragm spring is located inside the clutch cover. 0 The clutch has a clutch disc between the flywheel and the pressure plate. 0 Inside the clutch cover, there is a diaphragm spring and a pressure plate combined with each other by means of strap plates, which also serve to prevent the pressure plate from turning with respect to the clutch cover.

OPERATION Clutch

2. Operation A: NON-TURBO MODEL Applying foot pressure to the clutch pedal moves the release lever. This causes the release bear- ing to slide on the guide, pressing the center of the diaphragm spring. The spring is warped and the force having pressed the pressure plate is lost. As a result, the flywheel, clutch disc and pres- sure plate are disengaged, disconnecting the driving power. The push type clutch has the point of action at the tips of the diaphragm spring fingers, through which the pressure plate is pressed to the clutch disc. When the power transmission is to be inter- rupted, the diaphragm spring is forced to warp using the pivots established on the inward side of the spring finger tips (on the principle of the lever and fulcrum) to disengage the pressure plate from the clutch disc.

B: TURBO MODEL Applying foot pressure to the clutch pedal moves the release lever. This causes the release bear- ing to slide on the guide, pulling the center of the diaphragm spring. The spring is warped and the force having pressed the pressure plate is lost. As a result, the flywheel, clutch disc and pres- sure pl$e are disengaged, disconnecting the driving power. In the pull type clutch, the diaphragm spring has the point of action located inward from the tip, through which the pressure plate is pressed against the clutch disc. When the power transmission is to be interrupted, the diaphragm spring is forced to pivot on the tip and warp away from the pres- sure plate (on the principle of lever and fulcrum).

Front Suspension

1. Front Suspension A: OUTLINE The front suspension is a strut-type independent suspension, with cylindrical double-acting, low- pressure-gas-filled dampers and coil springs. The top of each strut assembly is attached to the body through a rubber cushion. Used in combination with other rubber cushions, this rubber cush- ion effectively insulate vibration and shock and thus improves ride comfort. This type also main- tains a wide distance between the upper and lower supporting points and makes adjustment of the caster unnecessary. The transverse link is an “L” shaped arm design to increase steering stability and reduce road noise. The transverse link has a maintenance-free ball joint fitted by a castle nut at its outer end. The front of the link’s inner end is fitted to the front crossmember through a rubber cushion and the rear of the inner end is bolted to the vehicle body through a fluid-filled bushing. The front crossmember is bolted to the vehicle body. The stabilizer is attached to the front crossmember through rubber cushions and its right and left ends are connected to the stabilizer links through rubber bushings. The lower end of the stabilizer link is connected to the transverse link through rubber bushings. A cambir angle adjustment mechanism, which uses eccentric bolts, is provided at the joint of the damper strut and axle housing.

REAR SUSPENSION Rear Suspension

1. Rear Suspension A: OUTLINE The rear suspension is an independent, dual link strut type. The suspension on each side consists of two parallelly arranged lateral links, a trailing link, and a strut assembly. The strut assembly con- sists of a cylindrical double-acting low pressure gas- and oil-filled damper and coil spring. The respective component parts of this suspension are optimally designed to act in response to vertical, lateral and longitudinal loads transmitted from the tires. Thus, riding comfort and steering stability are substantially enhanced. 0 Longitudinal loads act on each trailing link. 0 Vertical loads act on each coil spring, strut and rubber mount (which is located on the top of each strut). 0 Lateral loads act on the two lateral links on each side. The crossmember is installed on the body frame via bushings. (AWD model) The stabilizer that extends to the rear of the crossmember, is installed on the body frame via a bracket and to the wheel side end of each rear lateral link via a stabilizer link.

B: CONSTRUCTION 1. LATERAL LINKS 0 All the Sedans have larger tread than the previous model for enhanced handling stability. 0 Unsprung weight of the lmpreza has been made smaller than the previous model by using a pair of steel-pipe lateral links on each side. This enhances both handling stability and riding com- fort.

2. STRUTS 0 The camber angle of the Impreza has been made more negative than in the earlier model to improve cornering performance. 0 The dampers used in the struts are of a gas-filled type that features stable shock attenuating performance. They improve ride quality and reduce vibration and noise. 0 Each strut has at its top a new type strut mount. The strut mounts effectively disperse input forces from coil springs and struts so that vibration and noise are reduced and riding comfort is improved. The body attaching flange of each strut mount is adequately rigid, which helps improve handling stab i I i ty. 0 The helper made of highly durable urethane enhances handling stability when the vehicle is loaded. It also satisfies riding comfort and anti-roll rigidity requirements simultaneously.

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (LSD) Differentials

2. Limited Slip Differential (LSD) A: OUTLINE The limited slip differential is of a viscous coupling (V/C) type which automatically limits the differ- ential action and distributes torque to the left and right wheels adequately to enhance driving sta- bility when the left and right wheels are rotating at speeds different from each other during driving on a slippery road (muddy, snow-covered or slushy road) or cornering.

B: STRUCTURE The V/C type LSD has outer plates and inner plates arranged alternately. Each outer plate is splined to the inside of the differential case at its outer periphery and each inner plate is splined to the outer circumference of the left side gear at its inner periphery. The inner plates are held in position by spacer rings while the outer rings can slide in the axial direction along the spline teeth. The mace between the differential case and the left side gear is filled with a mixture of high viscos- ity si I i’con e oil and air

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (LSD) Differentials

C: OPERATION 1. WHEN RIGHT AND LEFT WHEELS ROTATE AT THE SAME SPEED During normal straight-ahead driving where the right and left wheels rotate at the same speed, the differential case and side gears rotate together, just as in conventional differentials. As a result, driving torque is distributed equally to the right and left side gears.

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (LSD) Differentials

2. WHEN RIGHT AND LEFT WHEELS ROTATE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS When a speed difference occurs between the right and left wheels, the differential case and the left side gear do not rotate at the same speed any more. The speed difference between them cor- responds to that between both the wheels. Because of the shear force caused in the silicone oil, a differential torque is then generated, which limits differential action. For example, if the left wheel spins due to small road resistance, a speed difference occurs be- tween the right and left wheels. Since there is the V/C between the differential case and left side gear, a differential torque corresponding to the speed difference is generated in the V/C. This dif- ferential torque is transferred from the left wheel to the right wheel. As a result, a greater driving torque is distributed to the right wheel which is rotating at a lower speed. When the right wheel spins, the differential torque is transferred from the right wheel to the left wheel. Also in this case, a torque greater by the differential torque than the torque to the spinning wheel is transmitted to the wheel rotating at the lower speed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ABS

1. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) A: FEATURE 0 The 5.3i type ABS used in the lmpreza has a hydraulic control unit, an ABS control module, a valve relay and a motor relay integrated into a single unit (called “ABSCM & H/U”) for circuit sim- plicity and reduced weight. 0 The ABS electrically controls the brake fluid pressure to each wheel to prevent the wheel from locking during braking on slippery road surfaces, thereby enabling the driver to maintain the directional control. 0 If the ABS becomes inoperative, a fail-safe system is activated to ensure same level of braking performance as with a conventional brake system. In that case, the warning light comes on to indi- cate that the ABS is malfunctioning. 0 The ABS is a 4-sensor, 4-channel system; the front wheel system is an independent control de- sign*’, while the rear wheel system is a select-low control design*2. *I : A system which controls the front wheel brakes individually. *2: A system which applies the same fluid pressure to both the rear wheels if either wheel starts to lock. The pressure is determined based on the lower of the frictional coefficients of both wheels.

Function

0 It determines the conditions of the wheels and the vehicle body from the wheel speed data and controls the hydraulic unit depending on the re- sult.

0 When the ABS is active, the ABSCM provides the automatic transmis- sion control module with control signals which are used by the module for cooperative control of the vehicle with the ABSCM.

0 Whenever the ignition switch is placed at ON, the module performs a self diagnosis sequence. If anything wrong is detected, the module cuts off the system.

0 It communicates with the SUBARU select monitor.

0 When the ABS is active, the H/U changes fluid passages to the wheel cylin- ders in response to commands from the ABSCM.

0 It constitutes the brake fluid passage from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders together with the piping.

It serves as a power switch for the solenoid valves and motor relay coil. It operates in response to a command from the ABSCM. It serves as a power switch for the pump motor. It operates in response to a command from the ABSCM.

They detect the wheel speed in terms of a change in the density of the magnetic flux passing through them and convert it into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is sent to the ABSCM.

They give a change in the magnetic flux density by the teeth around them- selves to let the ABS sensors generate electrical signals.

It detects a change in acceleration in the longitudinal direction of the ve- hicle and outputs it to the ABSCM as a voltage signal.

It provides information on whether the brake pedal is depressed or not to the ABSCM. The ABSCM uses it to determine ABS operation.

It alerts the driver to an ABS fault. When the diagnosis connector and diag- nosis terminal are connected, the light flashes to indicate a trouble code stored in the ABSCM.

It provides gear controls (fixing the speed at 3rd or changing power trans- mission to front and rear wheels) in response to control signals from the ABSCM.

C: PRINCIPLE OF ABS CONTROL When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheel speed decreases and the vehicle speed does as well. The decrease in the vehicle speed, however, is not always proportional to the decrease in the wheel speed. The non-correspondence between the wheel speed and vehicle speed is called “slip” and the magnitude of the slip is expressed by the “slip ratio” which is defined as follows: Slip ratio = Vehicle speed — Wheel speedNehicle speed x 100% When the slip ratio is 0%, the vehicle speed corresponds exactly to the wheel speed; when it is loo%, the wheels are completely locking (rotating at a zero speed) while the vehicle is moving. The braking effectiveness is represented by the “coefficient of friction” between the tire and road surface. The larger the Coefficient, the higher the braking effectiveness. The diagram below shows the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the slip ratio for two different road surface conditions (asphalt-paved road and icy road), assuming that the same tires are used for both the conditions and the vehicles are moving forward. Although the braking effectiveness (coefficient of friction) depends on the road surface condition as shown and also on the type of the tire, its peak range generally corresponds to the 8 — 30% range of the slip ratio. The ABS controls the fluid pressure to each wheel so that a coefficient of friction corresponding to this dip ratio range is maintained.

D: ABS SENSORS Each of the ABS sensors detects the speed of the corresponding wheel. The sensor consists of a permanent magnet, coil and tone wheel. The magnetic flux produced by the permanent magnet changes as each tooth of the tone wheel (which rotates together with the wheel) passes in front of the magnet’s pole piece. The changing magnetic flux induces voltages at a frequency corre- sponding to the wheel speed.

E: ABS CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (ABSCM & H/U) 0 ABS CONTROL MODULE SECTION (ABSCM) The ABSCM contains two microcontrol modules (MCMs): master and slave. Both the MCMs pro- cess the same program and each MCM monitors the other’s outputs. If a mismatch occurs be- tween their outputs, the ABSCM cuts off the system and activate the fail-safe function. The ABSCM can store a maximum of 3 trouble codes in an EEP ROM. If more than 3 faults have occurred, only the 3 most recent failures are stored and others are erased. Trouble codes remain stored until they are internally or externally erased. The ABSCM has a test routine (sequence control pattern) which facilitates checking of the hydrau- lic control unit. 0 ABS control Using primarily the wheel speed data from each ABS sensor and secondarily the vehicle decelera- tion rate data from the G sensor as parameters, the ABSCM generates a simulated vehicle speed when there is a risk of wheel lock-up. Using the simulated vehicle speed (called “dummy” vehicle speed) as a reference, the ABSCM determines the state of the wheel in terms of the tendency to- ward lock-up. If the result shows that the wheels are about to lock, the ABSCM issues commands to energize or de-energize the solenoid valves and activate the motor pump of the H/U to modulate the brake fluid pressures that act on the wheel cylinders, thereby preventing the wheels from lock- ing. The ABSCM controls the right and left front wheel fluid pressures independently and the rear wheel fluid pressures based on the wheel which is the most likely to lock (select-low control). 0 Functions available using SUBARU select monitor When the SUBARU select monitor is connected, the ABSCM allows it

0 To read out analog data 0 To read out ON/OFF data 0 To read out or erase trouble code 0 To read out data showing conditions under which a trouble code has been stored (Freeze frame data) 0 To initiate ABS sequence control pattern

0 Indication functions Under the control of the ABSCM, the ABS warning light provides the following three indication func- tion:

0 ABS fault alerting 0 Trouble code indication (by flashing in the diagnosis mode) 0 Valve ON/OFF indication (when sequence control pattern is initiated)

0 HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT SECTION (H/U) The H/U is a fluid pressure controller consisting of, among others, a motor, solenoid valves, a hous- ing and relays. It also constitutes passage of the two diagonally split brake circuits. 0 The pump motor drives an eccentric cam which in turn moves the plunger pump to generate hyd rau I ic pressure. 0 The housing accommodates the pump motor, solenoid valve and reservoir. It also constitutes a brake fluid passage. 0 The plunger pump, when operated, draws the brake fluid from the reservoir, lets the fluid in a wheel cylinder drain into the reservoir, and/or forces the fluid into the master cylinder. 0 The outlet solenoid valve is a 2-position type. It opens or closes the brake fluid passage between a wheel cylinder and the reservoir according to commands from the ABSCM. 0 The inlet solenoid valve is duty-controlled to reduce brake fluid pulsation for minimum ABS op- eration noise. 0 The reservoir temporarily stores the brake fluid drained from a wheel cylinder when pressure “decrease” control is performed. 0 The damper chamber suppresses brake fluid pulsation which would occur during pressure “de- crease” control in the fluid discharged from the plunger pump to minimize kickbacks of the brake pedal. 0 The valve relay controls power supply to the solenoid valves and motor relay in response to a command from the ABSCM. In normal (IG ON) condition, the relay is closed to supply power to the solenoid valves and motor relay. When an error occurs in the system, the valve relay is turned OFF to keep the fluid pressure circuit in the normal mode (non-ABS mode). 0 The motor relay closes and supplies power to the pump motor in response to a command from the ABSCM during the ABS drive mode operations. The H/U has four operating modes; normal mode (non-ABS mode), and three ABS active modes, i.e., “increase”, “hold” and “decrease” modes.

1. DURING NORMAL BRAKING (ABS NOT ACTIVE) Both the inlet and outlet solenoid valves are not energized. This means that the inlet port of the inlet solenoid valve is open, whereas the outlet port of the outlet solenoid valve is closed. So the fluid pressure generated in the master cylinder is transmitted to the wheel cylinder, producing a brake force. NOTE: For simplicity of explanation, operation of the hydraulic control unit is represented by operation of a single wheel circuit.

2. PRESSURE “DECREASE” CONTROL (ABS ACTIVE) Both the inlet and outlet solenoid valves are energized, which means that the inlet port is closed and the outlet port is open. In this state, the wheel cylinder is isolated from the master cylinder but open to the reservoir, so the brake fluid in it can be drained into the reservoir, decreasing its pressure and reducing the braking force of the wheel. The brake fluid collected in the reservoir is forced into the master cylinder by the pump. During this phase of ABS operation, the pump motor continues operating.

3. PRESSURE “HOLD” CONTROL (ABS ACTIVE) The inlet solenoid valve is energized, so the inlet port is closed. On the other hand, the outlet solenoid valve is de-energized, so the output port is also closed. In this state, all the passages connecting the wheel cylinder, master cylinder and reservoir are blocked. As a result, the fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder is held unchanged. During this phase of ABS operation, the pump motor continues operating.

F: ABS CONTROL CYCLE CURVES Depressing the brake pedal increases the brake fluid pressure in each wheel cylinder, which in turn decreases the wheel speed (or increases the wheel deceleration rate). When the brake fluid pressure is increased to a level of point “A” of the brake fluid pressure curve in the diagram below (at which the wheel deceleration rate exceeds threshold “-bO”), the ABSCM makes a pressure “hold” control. At the same time, the ABSCM calculates a “dummy” vehicle speed which is a refer- ence speed it uses in the next stage of control. When the wheel speed then drops below the slip ratio setting, i.e., a speed lower than the “dummy” vehicle speed by the predetermined value (at point “B” of the pressure curve), the ABSCM makes a control to prevent the wheel from locking, or a pressure “decrease” control. As the wheel cylinder pressure decreases, the wheel speed starts increasing (or the wheel accel- eration rate starts rising). When the wheel acceleration rate exceeds threshold “+b10” (at point “C” of the pressure curve), the ABSCM makes a pressure “hold” control. When the wheel acceleration rate exceeds threshold “+b20” (at point “D” of the pressure curve), the ABSCM recognizes that wheel lock-up will not occur and then makes a pressure “increase” control. When the wheel acceleration rate drops below threshold “+b20”, (at point “E” of the pressure curve), the ABSCM starts pressure “hold” and “increase” control cycles at a given interval. When the wheel deceleration rate then exceeds threshold “-bo” (at point “F” of the pressure curve), the ABSCM immediately makes a pressure “decrease” control.

1. Front and Rear Disc Brakes 0 The disc brakes are of a ventilated disc type which features high heat dissipation and superb braking stability. In addition, the front brakes quickly restores their original braking performance even when they get wet. 0 Ventilated discs are used only on the front wheels. 0 Each disc rotor, which is fitted on the outside of the hub, is secured together with the wheel using the hub bolts. This facilitates its removal and installation. 0 The inner brake pad is provided with a wear indicator.

REAR DRUM BRAKES Brakes

2. Rear Drum Brakes 0 The rear drum brakes are of a leading-trailing shoe type. When fluid pressure is applied to each wheel cylinder, the piston expands the leading and trailing shoes. During expansion of the shoes, the lower shoe return spring joint acts as a pivot. The shoes come in contact with the inner surface of the drum, producing braking action. 0 When brakes are applied during the forward movement, the tip of the brake leading shoe lining is pressed against the inner surface of the drum so as to oppose the drum’s rotating force. This increases the braking force. The trailing shoe, however, undergoes a force that pushes it back so that braking force applied to the trailing shoe decreases. The above shoe actions are reverse while the vehicle is moving backward; the braking force ex- erted on the trailing shoe is greater than that on the leading shoe. This means that there is no differ- ence in braking force between when the vehicle is moving forward and when it is reversing. 0 An inspection hole is provided in the backing plate for easier inspection of the linings for wear. The hole is closed with a rubber cap.

MASTER CYLINDER Brakes

A: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH The brake fluid level switch is located inside the brake fluid reservoir tank and causes the brake system warning light on the combination meter to come on when the fluid level has dropped below the predetermined level. The switch assembly consists of a reed switch (normally open) and a permanent magnet that is incorporated in a float. When the brake fluid level is normal, the float is far above the reed switch, so the force of the mag- net is unable to act on the reed switch. The warning light circuit, therefore, remains open. When the brake fluid level drops to a level approximately 30 mm (1 . I 8 in) below the maximum level and the float lowers accordingly, the magnet aligns with the reed switch, activating the reed switch contact. The warning light then comes on to warn the driver of the situation. The warning light may, although momentarily, illuminate even when the brake fluid level is normal if the vehicle tilts or swing largely.

As a result, the pis- ton moves rightward and comes in contact with the lip seal, blocking the passage toward the rear wheel cylinders.

3) Operation after reaching the split point pressure Immediately before the fluid passage toward the rear wheel cylinders is closed, pressure “P2” is slightly higher than pressure “P3”. So the piston can move in the spring force acting direction and the fluid can flow to the wheel cylinders. However, as soon as pressure ‘iP2” becomes equal to liP3”, the passage closes. This cycle is repeated as long as the pedal is depressed further, but pressure increasing rate of the rear wheel cylinders is smaller than that of the front wheel cylinders.

When an impact load ex- ceeding a certain level is applied to the steering column, the shaft moves in the jacket. Since the shaft is press-fitted in the jacket, friction generated between them during the above-mentioned movement absorbs impact. The column bending load is supported by the fittings. 0 Another measure to alleviate impact on the driver in the event of a collision is the wire which is located between the tilt pin and the distance plate attached to the steering support beam. When a large impact load is applied to the steering column, the wire is deformed progressively. The im- pact energy is absorbed during this process.

2. Power Steering System A: HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 0 The fluid pump is directly driven by the engine through a belt. 0 When the steering wheel is not being turned, the pressure-sensitive valve in the pump opens to drain the fluid into the fluid reservoir tank (Turbo model). 0 The fluid pressure is maintained almost constant regardless of change in the engine speed by the function of the flow control valve. The pressure-regulated fluid is delivered to the control valve via hose A. 0 When the steering wheel is turned, the rotary control valve connected to the pinion shaft opens the hydraulic circuit corresponding to the direction in which the steering wheel is turned. The fluid then flows into chamber A or B via pipe A or B. 0 The fluid pressure in chamber A or B acts on the rack piston in the same direction as that in which the rack shaft is moved by rotation of the steering wheel. This helps reduce the effort required of the driver to operate the steering wheel. 0 Movement of the rack piston causes the fluid in the other chamber to return to the reservoir tank via pipe A or B, control valve, and hose B.

0 As the steering shaft is connected to the pinion shaft mechanically via the rotary control valve, the steering system can operate as a manual system even if the hydraulic system becomes in- operative. 0 To control the maximum fluid pressure, a relief valve is built into the fluid pump to prevent build- up of an excessive fluid pressure.

0 Principle of operation When the torsion bar is twisted by a rotational force applied to the steering wheel, the relative posi- tion between the rotor and sleeve changes. This changes the cross-sectional area of fluid pas- sages VI , V2, V3 and V4. The fluid passages are thus switched and the fluid pressure is controlled in accordance with the operation of the steering wheel.

0 When no steering force is applied: The rotor and sleeve are held at the neutral position. Fluid passages VI, V2, V3 and V4, which are formed by grooves C and D are open equally. Under this condition, the fluid from the pump returns to the reservoir tank so that neither fluid pressure builds up nor the rack piston moves in the power cylinder.

The fluid pump is a vane type driven by the engine via belt. The reservoir tank is mounted on the vehicle body. The fluid pump incorporates the flow control valve and relief valve, each performing the following functions: 0 The flow control valve regulates the flow rate of discharged fluid to a constant level irrespective of the engine speed. 0 The relief valve protects the system from an excessively high pressure which may occur, for ex- ample, when the steering wheel is turned all the way.

0 VANEPUMP The vane pump consists of a rotor, a cam ring, and ten vanes. When the rotor rotates, the vane movably fitted in each slot of the rotor is radially moved out by centrifugal force and pressed against the inside wall of the cam ring. Since the inside of the cam ring is oval-shaped, the fluid from the suction port is confined and pressurized in the chamber formed between two adjacent vanes as the rotor rotates and is delivered through the discharge port. The pressurized fluid circulates through the hydraulic circuit.

0 FLOW CONTROL VALVE The flow control valve regulates flow rate of fluid which otherwise would increase as pump speed increases and deliver dangerously high pressure to the gearbox. It consists of orifices 1 and 2, valve spool, return port and flow control spring. When a pressure difference occurs between the front and rear of orifice 2 as a result of an increase in discharge rate, the valve spool moves against the tension of the flow control spring in such a way that the oil flow rate is controlled by opening and closing of the return port and orifice 2.

0 VANE PUMP The vane pump consists of a rotor, a cam ring, and ten vanes. When the rotor rotates, the vane movably fitted in each slot of the rotor is radially moved out by centrifugal force and pressed against the inside wall of the cam ring. Since the inside of the cam ring is oval-shaped, the fluid from the suction port is confined and pressurized in the chamber formed between two adjacent vanes as the rotor rotates and is delivered through the discharge port. The pressurized fluid circulates through the hydraulic circuit.

FLOW CONTROL AND ENERGY-SAVING VALVE ASSEMBLY 0 During engine idling When the engine is idling, the fluid pump speed is low. As the delivery rate of the pump is small, the metering orifice allows whole fluid to flow passing through it. So, there is no difference in the fluid pressure between the right and left of the metering orifice. This means that pressure PI act- ing on the left end of the flow control valve is equal to pressure P2 (pressure of the fluid flowing through the pressure sensing holes in the valve body) acting on the right end of the valve. As a result, the flow control valve is held pressed leftward by the force of the control valve spring. With the flow control valve in this position, the passage to the fluid pump suction port is closed, so that the whole fluid delivered from the pump flows toward the power steering gear box.

0 During straight-ahead driving The speed of the fluid pump increases and the fluid pressure becomes high. The metering ori- fice does not allow whole fluid to pass through it any longer. Since the amount of the fluid flowing toward the left end of the flow control valve is larger than the amount of the fluid flowing toward the right end of the valve passing through the pressure sensing holes, pressure P1 becomes larger than pressure P2. As a result, pressure P1 overcomes the force of the flow control valve spring and pushes the valve rightward. This keeps the passage to the fluid pump suction port open, allowing part of the fluid to return to the pump suction port and thus reducing flow of fluid to the steering gear box. The energy-saving valve mechanism reduces the fluid pump delivery pressure in this way when steering power assistance is unnecessary, thus reducing load on the engine.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM Power Assisted System (Power Steering)

During a turn When the steering wheel is turned, the power steering system starts the steering assist function and the fluid pressure increases. Although the pressure of the fluid entering chamber B through the pressure sensing holes in the valve body increases, the pump delivery pressure is still higher than the chamber B pressure. So, the flow control valve cannot move leftward. The fluid in chamber B then enters chamber A at the right end of energy-saving valve piston and increase the pressure of chamber A. Since the pressure in chambers A and B is higher than the pressure (ambient pressure) in cham- ber C at the left end of the energy-saving valve piston, the energy-saving valve piston moves leftward, overcoming the force of the energy-saving valve spring. Leftward movement of the energy-saving valve piston compresses the flow control valve spring. The combination of the tension of the spring and the pressure in chamber B now causes the flow control valve to move leftward, overcoming the fluid pump delivery pressure. As a result, the flow control valve closes the passage to the fluid pump suction port and the passage in the metering orifice opens wider. This enables the fluid delivered by the pump to be supplied to the steering gear box at the same rate as in the system without an energy-saving valve mechanism.

B: COMPRESSOR The rotary type compressor consists of an integrally formed rotor and shaft, five vanes, and a cylin- der. As the rotor turns, the vanes that are movally fitted in the rotor slide over the wall of the oval-shaped cylinder while drawing, compressing, and discharging refrigerant gas. The compressor shell has at its rear end an oil separator. High-pressure refrigerant gas having entered this chamber is separated from the oil it contains before flowing out through the compres- sor’s delivery port. There is a check valve in the front housing to avoid reverse rotation of the compressor which would otherwise occur when the compressor is stopped.

C: COOLING UNIT The heater unit and cooling unit are integrated into a single “heater and cooling unit”. The cooling section components of this unit include an evaporator, expansion valve, and case.

U NF0454

1. EVAPORATOR The evaporator is a laminated type. When a low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant is sprayed by the expansion valve into the evaporator, it evaporates and cools the evaporator surfaces. The cabin air is drawn by the blower and cooled down as it flows over the evaporator. The cooled air then flows passing through the heater unit and delivered into the cabin through versions outlets.

2. EXPANSION VALVE The expansion valve regulates the flow of refrigerant such that heat exchange takes place optimal-

The expansion valve performs two functions; it sprays the high-pressure refrigerant from the con- denser using a throttle valve, and it regulates the amount of the spray by changing opening of the throttle valve. The expansion valve consists of such main components as a heat sensing cylinder, diaphragm, ball valve, spring, and adjusting screw.

The heat (temperature) sensing cylinder is held in contact with the evaporator outlet pipe so that a pressure corresponding to the sensed temperature may be applied to the chamber above the diaphragm. There is a pressure equalizing hole which communicates with the chamber below the diaphragm to transmit changes in the refrigerant pressure to the chamber. The ball valve is linked with the diaphragm and moves according to changes in the balance between the force applied to the diaphragm and the tension of the spring.

B: FUNCTION 1. FRONT AIRBAGS The airbag system is provided as a driver and front passenger restraint system supplementary to the seat belts. When an impact greater than a set level is applied to the front of the vehicle, the sensors generate an electrical pulse to inflate the airbags in the airbag modules, thus preventing the driver’s and passenger’s upper bodies from directly hitting against the steering wheel, instru- ment panel and/or windshield:

2. SIDE AIRBAGS The side airbags provide the driver and front passenger with a restraint supplementary to that by the seat belts in the event of a side-on collision. When an impact greater than the set level is applied to either side of the vehicle, the relevant side airbag sensor sends an ignition signal to the corre- sponding airbag control module. The side airbag module operates to inflate the airbag, thus re- ducing the shock inflicted in the outside upper body (chest) of the driver or front passenger.

2. Construction A: GENERAL 0 The airbag system consists of an airbag control module, left and right front sub sensors, an elec- tric sensor and safety sensor built into the control module, driver’s and passenger’s airbag mod- ules each containing an inflator and airbag, and side airbag sensors and modules each contain- ing an inflator and airbag (Side airbag equipped model). 0 FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM: A frontal impact exceeding the set level causes the safety sensor, electric sensor and one or both front sub sensors to input impact signals to the CPU. The CPU determines whether the airbags should be inflated or not based on these signals. 0 SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM: Input of a side impact signal showing shock energy greater than the set level causes the airbag on the corresponding side to inflate.

B: AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE The airbag control module is installed in front of the front floor tunnel. It detects the vehicle’s decel- eration by receiving electrical signals from its inside safety and electric sensors as well as the front sub sensors and judges whether to inflate the airbags. This control module has a built-in self-diag- nosis function. If a fault occurs inside the system, it lights up the airbag warning light in the com- bination meter. The fault data is stored in the module. A back-up power supply is provided for pos- sible damage to the battery during an accident, and a boosting circuit is built into the module in case of a battery voltage drop.

NF0228

C: FRONT SUB SENSOR One front sub sensor is installed on each side, in front of the front wheel apron wall. The front sub sensor is a pendulum type sensor. If the sensor receives a frontal impact exceeding a certain limit, the mass in the sensor rotates forward to turn the switch ON.

The pretensioners use the front sub sensors and the airbag control module inside sensors to con- trol their operation. If the sensors detect an impact exceeding the predetermined level during a frontal or front-angled collision, the front seat belts are quickly rewound by the retractors to take up slacks for maximum restraining of the seat occupants. If the load placed on a seat belt exceeds the predetermined level, the torsion bar twists to allow the belt to be payed out, thus lessening the load imposed on the belt wearer’s chest. Once the seat belt pretensioner has been activated, the seat belt retractor remains locked.

C: SPEEDOMETER 1. DESCRIPTION 0 The speedometer system is an electrical type that uses electric signals from the speed sensor in the MT model or the transmission control module (TCM) in the AT model. 0 The vehicle speed sensor is installed on the manual transmission. 0 Since the system does not use mechanical components such as rotating cable, there are no opportunities of occurring such problems as meter needle vibration and cable disconnection. Also, it does not constitute any means of mechanical noise transmission. 0 The odometer and tripmeter readings appear on a liquid crystal display (LCD).

Needle points to 60 km/h (37.3 miles) when 2,548 pulses are input per minute.

Pulse count type.

LCD/6 digits; 0 to 999,999 km (mile).

2. OPERATION MT model: The vehicle speed sensor sends vehicle speed signals (4 pulses per rotation of speed sensor’s driven shaft) to the speedometer drive circuit and odometerhipmeter drive circuit in the speedometer. AT model: The TCM sends vehicle speed signals (4 pulses per rotation of output shaft) to the speedometer drive circuit and odometerhripmeter drive circuit in the Speedometer. NOTE: Signals from the speed sensor or TCM are also used by the engine control module, automatic transmission control module, etc.

F: WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE 0 The water temperature gauge is a cross-coil type. 0 The water temperature signal is sent from the thermo gauge located on the engine. 0 The resistance of the thermo gauge changes according to the engine coolant temperature. Therefore, the current sent to the water temperature gauge also changes according to the engine coolant temperature. As the change in current causes the magnetic force of the coil to change, the gauge’s needle moves according to the engine coolant temperature. 0 When the coolant is at a normal operating temperature of approx. 70 to 100 «C (1 58 to 21 2 OF), the gauge’s needle stays in the middle of the indication range as shown below.

G: FUEL GAUGE 1. GENERAL 0 The fuel gauge unit consists of a float and a potentiometer whose resistance varies depending on movement of the float. It is located inside the fuel tank and forms an integral part of the fuel pump. The fuel gauge indicates the fuel level in the tank even when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. 0 All models are equipped with two fuel level sensors. These sensors are installed in the fuel tank, one on the right side and the other on the left side. Two sensors are necessary because the fuel tank is divided into main and sub tank compartments.

The low fuel warning light operates as follows: The combination meter CPU continually monitors the resistance signal from the fuel level sensor. It turns on the low fuel warning light if a resistance value corresponding to the critical fuel level (approx. 78 R) is detected successively for about 10 minutes or the period spent for driving a dis- tance of 10 km. This monitoring time has been decided to avoid false operation of the warning light which may happen when a large part of remaining fuel is collected temporarily in the sub tank compartment.

OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY InstrumentatiotdDriver Info

2. Outside Air Temperature Display A: CONSTRUCTION The outside air temperature display system consists of an ambient sensor, the CUSTOM CPU and a liquid crystal display installed in the combination meter. The ambient sensor detects the outside air temperature using the built-in thermistor which varies its resistance according to change in am- bient temperature, and sends signals to the CUSTOM CPU. As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, the CUSTOM CPU compares the temperature data sent from the ambient sensor with the one that was stored in its memory when the ignition switch was turned OFF last time and it causes the lower of the temperatures to be displayed. However, if 60 minutes or more time has passed between the last turning OFF and the next turning ON of the ignition switch, the temperature that is displayed is a sensor-provided temperature. When the vehicle is running slowly, the heat released from the engine compartment raises the tem- perature of the air around the ambient sensor and this affects the temperature data the sensor sends to the CUSTOM CPU. The CPU then makes a special control using the vehicle speed data, i.e., when the vehicle is running at a speed slower than 10 km/h, the CPU uses the temperature that was detected during the most recent vehicle’s movement at a speed exceeding 10 km/h rather than a temperature currently being provided by the ambient sensor.

IGNITION SWITCH Securitv and Locks

~~

1. Ignition Switch A: DESCRIPTION 1. IGNITION SWITCH 0 The ignition switch has a function of giving the driver warning by sound if he or she opens the door with the key still in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. 0 The ignition switches on the MT models have a safety mechanism that prevents inadvertent lock- ing of the steering “LOCK” unless the

wheel during driving. The driver cannot turn the ignition key from “ACC” to key is pushed inward at the “ACC” position (arrow 1 in the drawing below).

NF0491

0 The ignition switches on the AT models have a key interlock mechanism to avoid locking of the steering wheel during driving. The ignition key can be turned to the “LOCK” position only when the select lever is in the P position. NOTE: Should the key be impossible to turn to “LOCK” when the select lever is in the P position due to failure of the key interlock mechanism, the interlocking can be cancelled by operating the release lever located on the underside of the steering column.

KEYLESSENTRYSYSTEM Security and Locks

3. Keyless Entry System A: CONSTRUCTION 0 The keyless entry system consists of a transmitter, keyless entry control module (with a built-in antenna), integrated module, door lock actuators, door switches, horn and interior light. 0 The keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency, so its transmitter can be used in almost all directions relative to the vehicle.

B: FUNCTION 1. DOOR LOCKING 1 ) Push the transmitter’s LOCK button once. 2) All doors are locked.

3) Check that the horn chirps once

2. DOOR UNLOCKING (DRIVER’S DOOR) 1) Push the transmitter’s UNLOCK button once. 2) The driver’s door is unlocked and the interior light turns ON (when the interior light switch is set at the DOOR position). NOTE: The interior light illuminates for 30 seconds and then goes out. (However, if a door locking proce- dure is performed again during this period, the light will go out immediately.) 3) Check that the horn chirps twice.

3. DOOR UNLOCKING (ALL DOORS) 1) Push the transmitter’s UNLOCK button twice within 5 seconds. 2) All doors are unlocked.

3) No audible or visible sign is given even after all the doors are unlocked.

4. PANIC ALARM SETTING 1 ) Push the transmitter’s LOCK button for more than 2 seconds. 2) The horn sounds continuously. To stop the horn, push any transmitter’s button.

5. ANSWER BACK (HORN SIGNALING) ON/OFF SELECTION 1) Push the transmitter’s UNLOCK button. 2) Push the transmitter’s LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for more than 2 seconds to activate the answer back function and push them again to deactivate it. 3) When the answer back function is activated, the horn will sound once.

Page 462: Subaru Impreza 2002 Service Manual

SECURITY SYSTEM Security and Locks

4. Security System A: FEATURES 0 The security system protects the vehicle from a theft action (unauthorized entry into the vehicle). Upon detection of such an action, it gives audible and visible alarms by causing the horn to sound and the parking lights to flash. It also immobilizes the vehicle by disabling the starter circuit. 0 Unauthorized entry is monitored through the switches on the doors, rear gate and trunk lid. If one of the switches is turned ON, the system interprets it as an attempt of unauthorized entry and gives alarms while disabling the starter circuit. 0 Unauthorized entry is also monitored by the impact sensor. The system operates in the same manner as mentioned above whenever the sensor senses an abnormal impact on the vehicle.

1. ALARMS 0 When activated, the security system causes the parking lights to flash and the horn to sound intermittently. In addition, the security indicator light on combination meter flashes fast and the starter motor circuit is disabled. 0 The alarms automatically turn OFF after 30 seconds. However, they will be reactivated if the ve- hicle is tampered with again. 0 The alarms are activated when a door, rear gate or trunk lid is opened without using the keyless entry transmitter. (When the system is armed, the alarms will be triggered even if a door is opened by releasing the inside door handle or the trunk lid is opened by operating the trunk lid release I ever. ) 0 They are also activated when an impact on vehicle body is sensed.

2. HOW TO ARM THE SYSTEM 1) Remove the key from the ignition switch. 2) Make sure that the trunk lid is closed 3) Close all the windows. Close and lock all the doors and rear gate. 4) Push the transmitter’s LOCK button. 5) The horn will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once. NOTE: The system can be armed even if the windows are open. 6) Confirm that the security indicator light blinks slowly (once every two seconds). If any of the doors, rear gate or trunk lid is not properly closed, the system warns the driver of this by causing the horn to chirp three times, the parking lights to flash three times, and the security indicator to flash rapidly. When the door, rear gate or trunk lid is closed, it will be automatically locked and the security system starts working. The indicator light blinks every two seconds when the system is armed and continues to blink until the system is disarmed.

CRUISE CONTROL I

Cruise Control System

1. Cruise Control A: OPERATION 0 The cruise control system automatically controls the vehicle speed. It allows the vehicle to run at a constant speed without need for the driver to keep the accelerator pedal depressed. 0 When the driver has activated the system and made a desired speed setting, the cruise control module compares the actual vehicle speed detected by the speed sensor (MT) or transmission control module (AT) with the preset speed in the memory, then generates a signal according to the difference between the two speeds. This signal is transmitted to the actuator located in the engine compartment. The actuator operates the throttle cam as necessary to keep the preset vehicle speed.

Low speed limit control

Motor control

When actual vehicle speed is higher than the “set” speed, the motor in the actuator operates to move the throttle valve in the closing direction by the amount corresponding to the difference between the two speeds. When actual driving speed is lower than “set” speed, the motor operates to move the throttle valve in the opening enabling direction according to the difference in speed.

When SETKOAST switch is pressed with main switch ON while the vehicle is being driven at a speed great- er than 40 km/h (25 MPH), current flows to the actuator. This causes the clutch in the actuator to engage, enabling the motor to operate. The motor moves the throttle valve to the position corresponding to the accel- erator pedal position. The vehicle is driven at the set speed.

When SETKOAST switch is turned ON while the vehicle is cruising at a constant speed, the motor in the actuator rotates to move the throttle valve in the closing direction. This causes the vehicle to coast. When the switch is turned OFF, the vehicle speed is stored in memory and the vehicle maintains that speed thereafter.

When RESUME/ACCEL switch is turned ON while the vehicle is cruising at a constant speed, the motor in the actuator rotates to move the throttle valve in the opening direction. This causes the vehicle to accelerate by a certain amount. When the switch is turned OFF, the vehicle speed is stored in memory and the vehicle maintains that speed thereafter.

When RESUME/ACCEL switch is turned ON after the cruise control is temporarily cancelled, vehicle speed returns to that speed which was stored in memory just before the cruise control is cancelled. This occurs only when the vehicle is running at a speed greater than 32 km/h (20 MPH). In the following cases, however, the set vehicle speed is completely cleared. Therefore, no resume control is performed. (1 ) Ignition switch is turned OFF (2) Main switch is turned OFF

When any of the following signals is entered into the cruise control module, the clutch is disengaged and the cruise control is deactivated. (1) Stop light switch ON signal (Brake pedal depressed) (2) Brake switch OFF signal (Brake pedal de- pressed) (3) Clutch switch OFF signal (Clutch pedal depressed — MT) (4) Inhibitor switch ON signal (Selector lever set to “N” — AT) (5) CANCEL switch ON signal (Command switch cruise control lever pulled) (6) Ignition switch OFF signal (7) Main switch OFF signal

When the vehicle speed drops below 32 km/h (20 MPH), the cruise control is automatically cancelled. Cruise control at any speed lower than 40 km/h (25 MPH) cannot be effected.

When the vehicle speed becomes 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more higher than the memorized speed while vehicle is running utilizing the cruise control (in a downgrade, for example), the actuator’s clutch is turned OFF so that the vehicle decelerates. When the vehicle’s speed becomes 8 km/h (5 MPH) or more lower than the memorized speed, the clutch is turned ON again so that the cruise control resumes.

0 The command switch is located on the right side of the steering wheel, so the driver can operate it without releasing hands from the steering wheel. 0 The command switch is a self-returning lever type.

1. RESUMWACCEL AND SETKOAST SWITCH Each switch contact is held closed as long as the lever is kept pressed in the relevant direction and resulting current is applied as a signal to the control module.

2. CANCEL SWITCH All the switch contacts are closed as long as the lever is pulled toward the CANCEL position (to- ward the driver). This causes the RESUME/ACCEL and SET/COAST ON signals to be sent to the control module si mu1 taneousl y.

I: CANCEL SIGNALS The cancel signal deactivates the cruise control function. Operating any of the following switches results in generation of the cancel signal. On receiving the signal, the cruise control module can- cels the cruise control function. 0 Stop light switch 0 Brake switch 0 Clutch switch (MT model) 0 Inhibitor switch (AT model) 0 Main switch 0 Command switch (CANCEL position)

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise Control System

M: FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION The cruise control system has a fail-safe function that cancels the cruise control operation when any of the following conditions occurs.

1. CONFLICT BETWEEN CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES AND CANCELLATION SIGNAL GENERATING SWITCHES 1) The cruise control system is deactivated if any of the cruise control switches (SET/COAST, RE- SUME/ACCEL, and CANCEL switches) is turned ON while any of the cancellation signal generat- ing switches (brake, stop lamp, clutch, and inhibitor switches) is being operated. The system is re-activated when the cruise control switch is turned OFF and then turn ON again after the can- cellation signal generating switch has been returned to its released position. 2) The cruise control system becomes deactivated if the ignition switch is turned ON with any of the cruise control switches (including the main switch) in the ON position. The system deactivating function is retained until the main switch is turned OFF.

2. ABNORMALITIES IN ELECTRIC CIRCUITS The cruise control system is deactivated and the set speed is also canceled if any of the following abnormalities occurs in the system’s electric circuits. The system deactivation function is retained until the ignition switch is turned OFF. 1) The stepping motor terminal is grounded; or the stepping motor drive circuit is broken due to a short- or open-circuit. 2) The stepping motor clutch drive circuit is shorted. 3) Vehicle speed variation in a 350 ms period exceeds flOkm/h. 4) Fusion has occurred in an internal relay and is detected while the vehicle is running with the cruise control deactivated. 5) The cruise control module becomes inoperative or its operation is faulty. 6) There is discrepancy between the values stored in the two RAMS of the control module. 7) An abnormality is detected as a result of the self-diagnosis performed after turning ON of the ignition switch.

3. ABNORMALITIES IN STEPPING MOTOR The cruise control system is deactivated if either of the following abnormalities occurs in the step- ping motor. 1) The stepping motor does not operate properly. 2) The stepping motor is energized for unduly long period and too frequently. When the system is deactivated, it cannot be reactivated for 2 — 20 minutes after detection of the abnormal condition.
