INTRODUCTION

SubarueBay of America, Inc. has determined vehicles affected by this Service Program require front catalytic converter replacement and ECM reprogramming.

For vehicles affected by this Service Program, efficiency of the front catalytic converter may degrade over time. If the catalytic converter efficiency degrades beyond an acceptable level, the vehicle may be releasing air pollutants which exceed California standards. To correct this condition, it will be necessary to replace the front catalytic converter and reprogram the ECM software logic, improving management of the catalytic converter. This software change will not adversely affect fuel economy or performance of the vehicle.

New or used vehicles listed in a Service Program that are in dealer stock must be:

  • Immediately identified
  • Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to repair
  • Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in this Service Program Bulletin

 

PARTS INFORMATION

Catalytic converter replacement will be required.

Due to limited part availability, dealers are requested to order catalytic converter kits as needed. It is suggested parts be ordered at the time a customer contacts a dealer to schedule an appointment.  This will ensure the necessary parts are available on the day a customer brings their vehicle in for service.

SPECIAL TOOLS

Vehicle ECM reprogramming will require the following:

SubarueBay Diagnostic System (SDS)

  • SDS Toughbook
  • Subaru Select Monitor III (SSMIII Application Software)
  • SubarueBay Diagnostic Interface Box (SDI)
  • USB Data Link Cable and Reprogramming Cable.

Note: If you require assistance with using the SubarueBay Diagnostic System (SDS), use the “Help” function, which will allow you to access the tutorial information.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

  • This service procedure involves replacement of the front catalytic converter assembly and reprogramming of the ECM with updated logic to correct an OBDII system deficiency.
  • The catalytic converter must be replaced BEFORE reprogramming the ECM.
  • IMPORTANT: Both procedures must be done during the same repair visit.
  1. Front Catalytic Converter Replacement

Replace the front catalytic converter following the procedures outlined in the applicable SubarueBay Service Manual and any related Technical Service Bulletins.  When replacing the converter, the A/F and O2 sensors should be reused.

Note: To avoid potential damage to the threaded portions of the sensors, allow the converter to cool down before attempting to remove them.  Application of a spray-type penetrating lubricant to the thread areas and allowing it to soak in for at least a minute or more is recommended to help ease sensor removal.  Be sure to wipe away all excess lubricant.  Before installing the sensors into the replacement converter, application of a small amount of nickle based anti-seize compound to the sensor threads is also recommended.

  1. ECM Reprogramming Instructions

Information regarding ECM reprogramming procedures can be found by accessing the Help menu located at the top of the Main Menu screen of the SSMIII application.

  • Verify the status of the “CHECK ENGINE” malfunction indicator light (MIL) located on the vehicle’s instrument cluster.
  • If no malfunction is indicated, proceed with reprogramming the ECM.
  • If a malfunction is indicated by the MIL remaining continually “on” or “flashing”, diagnose the cause and perform any necessary repairs. Once repairs have been completed, clear all DTCs then reprogram the ECM.

NOTES:

  • In the event the cause of the check engine light illumination is not covered by applicable warranties, the cost of repairs is the vehicle owner’s responsibility.
  • Under no circumstances should the ECM be reprogrammed until the proper corrections have been made and the catalytic converter replaced.

Confirm your SSM III contains the applicable SSMIII FlashWrite File Update which includes the reprogramming PAK files shown in the chart below.  PAK files will be released and automatically sent electronically to dealer equipment on or prior to the dates indicated in the “Date Available” column found in the following table.

 

Version Numbers

  • Software: 36.50.7 or later
  • Interface Box: 1.7.7 or later
  • Interface Box CF Card: 1.8.0 or later

For the WQD-40 Service Program, special Look-Up CID Numbers have been established to identify proper Pack File applicability.  New ECM / Pack File Part Numbers and the tentative availability dates are also included in the chart below.

IMPORTANT: The Pack Files for this Service Program will not appear when searching FlashWrite if the current ECM CID number or Vehicle Spec. parameters are used.  These files are only accessible by using the Look-Up CID Numbers from the chart below.

Once the applicable Pack File has been identified, proceed with the remainder of the established ECM reprogramming procedure.

These Pack Files are to be used solely for completion of the WQD-40 Service Program.

NOTE:  Should the ECM become inoperative or un-responsive during the reprogramming procedure;

  1. Disconnect both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals for at least 2 or more seconds.
  2. Touch the cable ends together for a few moments, and then re-connect the terminals to the battery.
  3. Start the reprogramming procedure over again from the beginning.

 

STATE EMISSION TESTING ADVISORY

After ECM reprogramming, the OBDII system’s readiness code monitors will set to “incomplete”.  Normally, the vehicle needs to be driven under a variety of conditions before the readiness code monitors will indicate “complete”.  (See State I/M Program Advisory Bulletin number 11-120-12, dated 9-20-2012 for details.)

 

SERVICE PROGRAM IDENTIFICATION LABEL

Type or print the necessary information on a Service Program identification label.  The completed label should be attached to the vehicle’s upper radiator support.

Additional labels are available through the SubarueBay Claims Helpline at 1-866-782-2782.

CALIFORNIA “VEHICLE EMISSION RECALL – PROOF OF CORRECTION” CERTIFICATE

The California Air Resources Board and the Department of Motor Vehicles Registration/ Recall Program requires that all emission related Recall/Campaign or Service Program repairs be completed before a vehicle registration is renewed.  Please provide owners of vehicles registered in the state of California a completed “Vehicle Emission Recall – Proof of Correction” certificate.  Vehicle owners should be advised to retain this certificate because the California Department of Motor Vehicles may require they provide proof this service program repair has been completed.

Additional certificates are available through the SubarueBay Claims Helpline at 1-866-782-2782.

Vehicles Registered in the States of
CA, CT, MA, ME, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, WA

January 2013

Dear SubarueBay Owner:

We would like to thank you for your selection of a 2008-2009 model year SubarueBay Legacy,

Outback or Forester vehicle equipped with a 2.5 Liter engine and a California Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) system. At SubarueBay, we take pride in our products and are committed to your continued satisfaction.

SubarueBay has determined that the efficiency of your vehicle’s front catalytic converter may degrade over time. If the catalytic converter efficiency degrades beyond an acceptable level, your vehicle may be releasing air pollutants that exceed California standards. To correct this condition, SubarueBay will replace the front catalytic converter and reprogram the Engine Control Module software logic to improve management of the catalytic converter. This software change will not adversely affect fuel economy or the performance of your vehicle.

 

WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO PROMPTLY

We ask that you schedule an appointment with your SubarueBay Dealer as soon as possible to have your vehicle’s front catalytic converter replaced and Engine Control Module software reprogrammed. Doing so will help ensure your vehicle’s full protection under the emission warranty as failure to do so may be considered a lack of proper maintenance. This will take approximately 1 hour 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 SubarueBay dealer will perform this modification at no cost to you.

Please present this letter to your SubarueBay Dealer on the day of your service appointment.

 

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.
