Summary
Subaru
Service and Technical Support Line Newsletter. (QMR of the Month)
To avoid failure of A/F and O2 sensor and assembly contamination, use the cautions below.
1. When removing the A/F or O2 sensors:
Use caution to not let the breather hole of A/F Sensor or Rear O2 Sensor be sprayed with liquid
lubricant. In case of using spray lubricant to remove these sensors, the hole should be covered
with a rag* (as shown in the below photo) before applying the spray lubricant only to the threads
of the sensor.
2. When changing the engine oil:
Use caution to not spill engine oil onto the A/F and O2 sensors when removing the oil filter.
3. When applying any materials containing silicone to engine compartment and/or undercarriage:
When using polishing chemical materials or lubricant materials near the engine compartment or
undercarriage of the vehicle, always pay attention to not spray them on or near these sensors
without covering the sensors with a rag.
*CAUTION - NEVER cover the sensor with a rag while the exhaust system is hot!! If the sensor
is covered with a rag (after the exhaust system has cooled down), be sure to remove it before
driving the vehicle as it may cause a fire if left on the exhaust.

Fuel consumption widget “missing” on Denso CP 1.0/1.5 equipped vehicles
Techline has been receiving calls with a customer concern of fuel consumption no longer displaying
on the head unit. When the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) is turned on, the fuel consumption can be
viewed as a widget at the top of the head unit screen.
If the DMS is turned off, the fuel consumption widget cannot be viewed, this is a normal condition.
Once the DMS is turned back on, the fuel consumption widget can be viewed again. The fuel
consumption widget shows information for that driver’s DMS profile. This fuel consumption widget
is not the same as the fuel mileage displayed in the combination meter. Please refer to the Owner’s
Manual for the specific vehicle for more information on this system.
This photo shows the DMS turned off, note
the Fuel consumption is blank.

DTC P1867 and P0867
When diagnosing a vehicle with DTC P1867 or a P0867 it is important to note if the issue is intermittent
or if the fault is occurring all the time. When performing the diagnostics in the trouble tree, be mindful
of the testing results of Steps 14-18. There has been an increase in CVT replacements where a valve
body may have repaired the fault due to incorrect diagnostics (see below for a list of serviceable parts).
When collecting the results of these steps, if the issue is not occurring, the results may indicate no
fault. It is important to note on Step 18, to not only record the actual secondary pressure at an engine
RPM of 3000, but to also compare that reading to the results collected in Step 17. This can often be
overlooked.
