SUBJECT: Reprogramming File Availability for Oil Level Detection

 

INTRODUCTION

NOTE:  The information in this bulletin was originally part of TSB 11-149-14 but has been separated out into this publication to simplify applicability and the corresponding service procedure.

This bulletin announces the availability of reprogramming files to optimize the ECM logic for engine oil level detection in the event of false or premature low engine oil level warning lamp illumination.  Should a customer present a concern with a low engine oil warning lamp illumination and the diagnosis indicate the oil level is full or nearly full (oil level between the full and add marks/holes on the dipstick) and the customer has not added any engine oil, the ECM must be updated with this new logic.  NOTE:  On 5MT models ONLY, the oil level switch must also be replaced.  If the customer has added oil, determine how much was added.  Based upon the information provided, estimate where the oil level was when the lamp illuminated in order to determine if any additional action is required beyond what is described in this bulletin (e.g  an oil consumption test).

 

REMINDER: Always confirm any low oil level lamp false illumination is not a result of a poor electrical connection or grounding concern. Inspect the circuit following the diagnosis found in the applicable Service Manual to ensure no other related concern exists.

SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION

Step 1Reprogram the ECM using the applicable pack file from the table above.

NOTES: 

SOA now highly recommends connecting the Midtronics GR8 Diagnostic Battery Charger to the vehicle and utilizing the Power Supply Mode feature anytime a vehicle control module is being reprogrammed. Once the GR8 is connected to the vehicle, as long as the battery is fully charged, it takes less than 3 minutes to boot-up the charger, select the Power Supply Mode, and have the battery voltage stabilized and ready for reprogramming.

VERY IMPORTANT: This information is applicable to the Midtronics GR8 Diagnostic Battery Charger ONLY. It does not apply to any other brand / type of “generic” battery charger whatsoever.  ONLY the GR8 and its Power Supply Mode feature has been tested and approved by Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA).

  • If the GR8 indicates the vehicle’s battery must be charged, charge the battery using the GR8 before proceeding to reprogram the vehicle while using the Power Supply Mode.
  • Control module failures as a result of battery discharge during reprogramming are not a matter for warranty. Should any DTCs reset after the reprogramming update is performed, diagnose per the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual.

Steps 2, 3 and 4 below are applicable to 5MT Models ONLY.

Step 2 – Always confirm any low oil level lamp false illumination is not a result of a poor electrical connection or grounding concern. Inspect the oil level switch circuit following the diagnosis found in the applicable Service Manual to insure no other related concern exists.

Step 3 – Once the ECM reprogramming has been completed and the oil level switch wiring has been confirmed to be OK, proceed with replacing the oil level switch assembly shown in the illustration below following the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual. Torque the 2 retaining bolts to 6.4 Nm (56 inch-pounds).

Step 4 – Always confirm the engine oil level has been restored to the FULL mark on the dipstick before releasing the vehicle.

Reprogramming

What J2534 reprogramming capabilities are available?

(4a) J2534 Reprogramming

Subaru reprogramming files using a generic (non-OEM) SAEJ2534 pass-thru vehicle programming device are available by contacting Service Technical Information Company toll free at 1-866-428-2278. The cost for the CD-ROM with all reprogramming files is $75.00 plus S/H and applicable state tax. Files will be updated four (4) times per year, in CD-ROM format, with all available reprogramming service information at the same above offered cost. Authorized Subaru Dealers are provided the same reprogramming information.

Before purchasing, the reprogramming details can be found in the following Reprogramming J-2534 Files chart. Click the link to view the PDF chart.

Subaru J2534 Reprogramming software meets the latest available J2534-1 specification. Our Reprogramming J2534 Files chart does not specify the Calibration Identification Number (CID); however, this information is included in our offered CD-Rom.

Note: The ECM or TCMeBay being reprogrammed may already contain some or all of the reprogramming files listed in the Reprogramming J2534 Files chart shown by release date. It is possible to damage the vehicles ECM/TCMduring the reprogramming event. Once the reprogramming process has started, it is recommended not to interrupt the process until the event is completed. If you experience any problems, please contact your scan tool maker for further instructions.

 

(4b) Are all pre-2004MY Subaru vehicles compatible with J2534?

No. Subaru has no reprogramming capability for model years 1996-1998. Starting with our 1999 model year, please see our Reprogramming Pre-J2534 Files chart for affected model reprogramming information.

Both pre-J2534 reprogramming and J2534 pass thru reprogramming files are included in the offered HDS kit software for aftermarket service provider application.
