Need Mode 6 information - 2003 WRX 2.0 Turbo

[solakian]

I ran an auto system test, using my Genysis Scan tool, and got the following result;

 

Component ID 03 / Test ID 03 - Failed

Limit 20775

measured value 27170

ECU E1

 

does anyone have definitions of Mode 6 information? I need help understanding what this means.

 

All other tests passed, but a list of all the test definitions would probably be helpful in the future.

I'm not sure what that means, but have you tried looking on Genysis's website (assuming they have one)?

 

Do you have a check engine light or something wrong? Is the Genysis just a code retrieval tool, or does it scan ECU data as well?

Genisys is OTC's top end Scan Tool, fully functional for both OEM and OBD2 data. OTC provides a wealth of information about use of the tool, but not much specific information about OE data.

 

So far, my best bet seems to be an Information Request form through the NASTF (National Automotive Service Task Force). They have contacted Subaru on my behalf requesting the info I need. I received a direct response from Subaru stating that the information is missing from their published documentation and they are working on providing an answer. It's my understanding that the NASTF will not close the issue until I let them know the outcome.

New one to me. If you have a check engine light, we need to be in the P0xxx format.

That's good to know about NASTF. Let us know what you end up finding out.

Per the NASTF request, Subaru provided all Mode 6 definitions. However, the TID 03 / CID 03 data does not match the readings I'm getting from my Genisys. Per the Subaur data, the range for that test is -62.5 to +62.5 mmHg. Genisys says the limit is 20775 and my measured value is 27170

 

I've sent a requst for tech support to OTC. We'll see what happens next.

makes me wonder if the Genisys is measuring in microbars or some other scale.
