Idle Speed: Inspection

Before checking the idle speed, check the following item:
1. Check the air cleaner element is free from clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs are in good condition, and hoses are connected properly.
2. Check the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate.
Warm up the engine.
Read the engine idle speed using Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE (NORMAL MODE)

- Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because the idle speed is automatically adjusted.
- If idle speed is out of standard, refer to the General Diagnosis Table under "Engine Control System". Refer to BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
