STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK DTC. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor.	Besides DTC P0751, is any of the DTCs P0973, P0974, P0976, P0977, P2747 and P2751 displayed-	Perform the diagnosis according to DTCs other than P0751.

8.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 1) Set the select lever to “D” range. 2) Release the brake pedal to stabilize the engine speed and front wheel speed. 3) Read the data of «Actual Gear Ratio» using Subaru Select Monitor.	Is the «Actual Gear Ratio» 1.5 — 2.6-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0751 SHIFT SOLENOID "A" PERFORMANCE/STUCK OFF	Replace the transmission assembly. Automatic Transmission Assembly
9.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 1) Set the select lever to “D” range. 2) Slowly increase the speed to 40 km/h (25 MPH) and keep to a constant speed. 3) Read the data of «Actual Gear Ratio» using Subaru Select Monitor.	Is the «Actual Gear Ratio» 0.5 — 0.9-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0751 SHIFT SOLENOID "A" PERFORMANCE/STUCK OFF	Replace the transmission assembly. Automatic Transmission Assembly
10.DRIVING CHECK BY INSPECTION MODE. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Perform a drive check based on the “Inspection Mode”. Inspection Mode	Does the AT OIL TEMP light blink and is DTC P0751 displayed-	Replace the transmission assembly. Automatic Transmission Assembly	Current condition is normal. It is possible that temporary poor contact occurs.
