发帖数: 5617 | 1 Subaru has developed a modification to the Engine Control Module software
logic to improve the monitoring parameters within the On-Board Diagnostic (
OBDll) system for the engine coolant thermostat. This correction ensures
that should there be an abnormal condition (i.e., the engine coolant does
not reach or maintain the proper operating temperature), the “check engine
light” will illuminate. The proper illumination of the “check engine light
” is needed to alert you that corrective action may be required.
This software change has no effect on fuel economy or vehicle performance.
WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO PROMPTLY
We ask that you schedule an appointment with your Subaru Dealer as soon as
possible to have your vehicle’s Engine Control Module software reprogrammed
. This will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. However, it may be
necessary for you to leave your car longer on the day of your appointment to
allow your dealer flexibility in scheduling. Your Subaru dealer will
perform this modification at no cost to you.
CALIFORNIA REGISTERED OWNERS
The California Air Resources Board requires that emission related campaigns
be completed prior to California’s vehicle registration renewal process;
without this repair, you will not be able to register your vehicle during
your next annual registration. Upon completion of this campaign, your
California dealer will complete and provide you a “Proof of Correction
Certificate.” If required, present the certificate to the California
Department of Motor Vehicles (the “DMV”) when renewing your California
registration as proof of campaign completion. If the DMV does not request
the certificate, we recommend that you keep it for your records.
In addition, the State of California requires that every vehicle must pass
an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold.
Without the service we are providing at no charge, your vehicle may not pass
this test. |
