Subaru Select Monitor Display Details


Engine Load
Display: 0 - 100 %

The engine load is displayed. The ECM calculates the engine load via the engine speed and signals from the pressure sensor. The engine load increases when the engine speed and absolute pressure of the intake manifold increase.

Coolant Temp.
Display:-40 to 215 °C (-40 to 419 °F)

The coolant temperature transmitted from the engine coolant temperature sensor is displayed.

A/F Correction #1
Display: -100 to 99 %

Using the signal from the front oxygen (A/F) sensor, the correction value of the fuel supply amount regulated by the ECM is indicated. When the A/F is lean and when displayed value becomes 0 % or more, ECM increases the fuel. When the A/F is rich and when displayed value becomes 0 % or less, ECM decreases the fuel.

A/F Learning #1
Display: -100 to 99.2 %

The ECM calculates the long-term fuel trim value from the short-term fuel trim value. The long-term fuel trim value means the correction value of long- term fuel supply amount. If the displayed value is less than 0%, the fuel system is in rich status and the ECM restricts the fuel supply (by shortening the injector pulse). If the displayed value is more than 0%, the fuel system is in lean status and the ECM increases the fuel supply (by extending the injector pulse).

Main Absolute Pressure
Display: 0-254.9 kPa (0 - 1,912.5 mmHg, 0 - 75.3 inHg)

The pressure in the intake manifold is displayed. The ECM detects the pressure in the intake tube via the signal from the pressure sensor. The ECM calculates the air mass required for the engine.

Battery Voltage
Display: 0 - 20.4 V

The battery voltage is displayed.

Throttle Sensor Voltage
Display: 0-5 V

The throttle angle is displayed in voltage. When the throttle is fully-closed, the displayed voltage value is approx. 0.5 V. When it is fully-open, the voltage is approx. 4 V or more.

Fuel injection #1 Pulse
Display: 0 - 65.3 m/sec (0-214.2 l/sec)

The injector valve opening time is displayed. The longer the injector valve opening time, the more the fuel is supplied. The higher the engine load, the longer the injector valve opening time becomes.

Knocking Correction
Display: -64 to 63.5 deg.

The ECM controls the ignition timing via the signal from the knock sensor.

Atmosphere Pressure
Display: 0-254.9 kPa (0 - 1,912.5 mmHg, 0 - 75.3 inHg)

The atmospheric pressure is displayed. The ECM detects the atmospheric pressure via the signal from the atmosphere sensor.

Main. Relative Pressure
Display: 0-126.9 kPa (0-952 mmHg, 0- 37.5 inHg)

A value calculated by subtracting the absolute pressure in the intake tube from the atmospheric pressure is displayed. A larger load leads to a larger value.

Fuel tank pressure
Display: 0-3.2 kPa (0-24 mmHg, 0-0.94 inHg)

The pressure in the fuel tank is displayed.

Learned Ignition Timing
Display: -64 to 63.5 deg.

The advanced ignition timing value is displayed. The ECM calculates the learned ignition timing in each driving range via the signal from the knock sensor. A positive value indicates advanced timing, and a negative value indicates retarded timing.

Fuel Temp.
Display: -40 to 215 °C (-40 to 419 °F)

The fuel temperature is displayed. The ECM detects the fuel temperature via the signal from the fuel temperature sensor. This signal is used for the evaporation diagnosis.

Front 02 Heater #1
Display: 0 - 10 A

The heater current of the front oxygen (A/F) sensor is displayed. A larger current value leads to increased heat generation.

Rear O2 Heater Current
Display: 0 - 10 A

The heater current of the rear O2 sensor is displayed. A larger current value leads to increased heat generation.

Fuel Level
Display: 0-5 V

The float inside the fuel tank is a variable resistor which varies the resistance based on fuel level. The ECM then averages this voltage and the signal voltage from the fuel tank in order to determine fuel level. The scan tool displays close to 0.7 volts for an empty tank, and close to 5 volts for a full tank.

CPC Valve Duty Ratio
Display: 0 - 100 %

The purge control solenoid valve is regulated by the ECM. The displayed value of 0 % indicates that the purge amount is 0, and 100 % indicates that the purge amount becomes the maximum.

ISC Valve Step
Display: 0-255 step

The idle air control solenoid valve is driven by the stepping motor. The number of steps is regulated by the ECM. A value of 0 step indicates that the air bypass circuit is closed, and the value of 255 steps indicates that it is fully open.

A/F Sensor #1
Display: 0 - 2

The air surplus ratio output from the front oxygen (A/F) sensor is displayed. Air overflow ratio = 1.0 is regarded as a stoichiometric A/F ratio. A value above 1.0 indicates A/F lean range, and below 1.0 indicates A/F rich range.
