ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DOTC DIESEL) > General Diagnostic Table
NOTE:
• As a cause for many problems, there is a possibility that abnormal learning of the common rail system has occurred. Before starting the diagnosis, perform learning of the fuel pump and fuel injector. 
• Malfunction of parts other than those listed is also possible. 
• Even if the malfunction indicator light is not lit, read DTCs with the Subaru Select Monitor or general scan tool, and if a DTC appears, perform diagnosis according to the relevant DTC.
