Thank you for purchasing an AEM Engine Management System.

The AEM Engine Management System (EMS) is the result of extensive development on a
wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for each particular application. The AEM
EMS differs from all others in several ways. The EMS is a stand alone system, which
completely replaces the factory ECU and features unique Plug and Play Technology, which
means that each system is configured especially for your make and model of car without any
jumper harnesses. There is no need to modify your factory wiring harness and in most cases
your car may be returned to stock in a matter of minutes.

For stock and slightly modified vehicles, the supplied startup calibrations are configured to
work with OEM sensors, providing a solid starting point for beginner tuning. For more heavily
modified cars, the EMS can be reconfigured to utilize aftermarket sensors and has many
spare inputs and outputs allowing the elimination of add-on rev-limiters, boost controllers,
nitrous controllers, fuel computers, etc. It also includes a configurable onboard 1MB data
logger that can record any 16 EMS parameters at up to 250 samples per second. Every
EMS comes with all functions installed and activated; there is no need to purchase options or
upgrades to unlock the full potential of your unit.

The installation of the AEM EMS on the supported vehicles uses the stock sensors and
actuators. After installing the AEMTuner software, the startup calibration will be saved to the
following folder on your PC:
C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\AEM Updates\Subaru\
Multiple calibrations may be supplied for each EMS; additional details of the test vehicle
used to generate each calibration can be found in the Calibration Notes section for that file.

Please visit the AEM Performance Electronics Forum at http://www.aemelectronics.com and

register. We always post the most current strategy release, PC Software and startup
calibrations online. On the forum, you can find and share many helpful hints/tips to make
your EMS perform its best.

TUNING NOTES AND WARNING:

While the supplied startup calibration may be a good starting point and can save
considerable time and money, it will not replace the need to tune the EMS for your specific
application. AEM startup calibrations are not intended to be driven aggressively before
tuning. We strongly recommend that every EMS be tuned by someone who is already
familiar with the AEM software and has successfully tuned vehicles using an AEM EMS.
Most people make mistakes as part of the learning process; be warned that using your
vehicle as a learning platform can damage your engine, your vehicle, and your EMS.

Subaru 2004 / 2005-2006 Model Year Differences

Although there are very few differences between the 2004 and 2005-2006 models, the ECUs
are not interchangeable. The 30-1820 EMS must be used in a 2004 vehicle, and the 30-1821
EMS must be used in 2005-2006 vehicles. Consult the pinout chart for further information.

Peak and Hold Injector Drivers

Injectors 1-4 include Peak (4 amps) and Hold (1 amp) injector drivers. These drivers may be
used with peak and hold or saturated type injectors. The vehicle’s wiring harness may
contain a resistor pack to prevent excessive current if low-impedance injectors were used
with the stock ECU. With the 30-6820 installed, users can elect to remove and bypass
injector resistors for more precise control of low-impedance injectors.

Please note that the injector response time will be different with and without injector resistors
installed. If a resistor pack has been removed and bypassed, please use the correct battery
offset wizard for your injectors. Most battery offset wizards will specify <P&H DRIVER> if
they are intended for use without a resistor pack.

Fuel Pump Control

As supplied from Subaru, the OEM ECU interfaces with a fuel pump control unit (FPCU) to
control the speed, high or low, of the fuel pump based on load. The AEM EMS has the ability
to replicate this functionality; however it is configured in the Startup Calibration to run the fuel
pump at high speed at all times.

The EMS Output COIL8 (Pin B26 for 2004 models, pin B27 for 2005-2006 models) is used to
send a 5V signal instructing the OEM fuel pump ECU to energize the fuel pump. Configuring
User PW Out to use LS12 and, for example, User PW Analog In to MAP Volts will allow the
voltage sent to the fuel pump ECU to be varied in relation to MAP Volts/pressure. Increasing
the duty cycle of the LS12 output will decrease the speed of the fuel pump.

WARNING: Reducing the voltage sent to the fuel pump can affect fuel pump output (volume
and/or pressure). If you wish to decrease pump speed at light loads or low RPM, monitor
fuel pressure and air-fuel ratio very carefully to avoid engine damage!

WARNING: Do not use pin B26/B27 to control a fuel pump relay directly, it must be
connected to the OEM fuel pump control unit only. If an aftermarket fuel pump relay will be
installed, wire it to be controlled using a spare low side output (for instance, LS2 is available
on pin A13). Be sure to configure the output to use the Fuel Pump function using
Tools>>Configure Outputs.

Variable Valve Control (VVC)
The Variable Valve Control table in the EMS can be used to control the STI’s AVCS system,
which is used to change the airflow characteristics of the engine by advancing the timing of
the intake camshafts. The AVCS outputs (pin A28-A29, Injector 9-10 outputs on the EMS)
advance the phase angle of the intake camshafts; this will have effects similar to moving an
adjustable intake cam gear. This is controlled by the VVC 1 (RH camshaft) and VVC 1B (LH
camshaft) outputs; VVC position is monitored using the T2 and T3 inputs for independent
closed-loop feedback. The VVC settings can be adjusted in the VVC tab (which may be
hidden in the default AEM workspace).

This system is active on this EMS when used with the provided startup calibrations and can
be adjusted through the use of the ‘VVC 1 Target’ map. Adjustments to the intake cam timing
are made by changing the values in the ‘VVC 1 Target’ map per Engine RPM and Engine
Load. The values in the ‘VVC 1 Target’ map can vary from 0 degrees for zero intake cam
advance to 50 degrees for full intake cam advance. The channels ‘VVC 1 Advance’ and
‘VVC 1B Advance’ show the measured position of the camshafts.

WARNING: Improper use of the Variable Valve Control (VVC) in the AEMTuner software can
lead to engine damage!

Be very careful when building or tuning unknown engine combinations or using aftermarket
pistons or valve train components. OEM engines and valve trains are not designed or
manufactured to allow valve to piston interference at certain cam angles. AEM will not be
responsible for engine damage resulting from improper use of the VVC function on engines
with valve trains designed to allow mechanical interference.

Please note that some Subaru camshaft sensors will send ‘false signals’ under some
conditions (often light load and low RPM). This can be observed with an oscilloscope or
high-speed datalogger, and occurs with the stock ECU as well. These false signals will not
cause engine misfires with the Series 2 EMS, but will sometimes be reflected as quick jumps
in the measured ‘VVC 1 Advance’ channels.

EMS DC Stepper Motor control (Subaru Tumble Generator Valves)
There are two sets of Tumble Generator Valves (TGV) found on the intake manifold of the
STI. Each set of valves is driven by a DC stepper motor and has a 0-5V feedback signal to
monitor valve position. The Motor 1 and Motor 2 Target tables are used to set the position of
the valves; valve position can be controlled based on various parameters such as throttle
position, vehicle speed, engine RPM, or engine load. The channels “ADCR11” and
“ADCR14” display the current position of the valves. When these parameters are near 0
Volts, the valves are open and will allow maximum air flow. When these parameters are near
5 Volts, the valves are closed creating turbulence in the intake stream and restricting air flow.
The valves are always open in the AEM-supplied startup calibrations.

WARNING: the EMS can be configured to control the left and right bank independently. The
engine will run very poorly if one set of TGVs is fully open while the other set is fully closed,
so please be sure that the Motor 1 and Motor 2 Target tables are both the same.

Subaru MAF sensor, Intake Air Temp sensor

The MAF (mass air flow) sensor can be removed to help decrease intake air restriction as
the base map uses the factory MAP sensor to determine engine load. Please be aware that
the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor is integrated into the factory MAF sensor. If the
factory MAF / IAT sensor is removed, you may wish to install an AEM IAT Sensor Kit (P/N
30-2010), which includes a sensor, wire connector, and aluminum weld-in bung. While the
factory MAF sensor locates the IAT sensor upstream of the turbocharger inlet, it may be
preferable to install an IAT sensor downstream of the intercooler to accurately measure
charge temperatures.

EMS Fuel Map, Boost Fuel Trim Table

The 30-6820 calibration maps provided utilize the “Boost Fuel Trim Table” to provide a 1:1
fuel compensation above and below atmospheric pressure. To use this table, the “Boost Fuel
Trim Table” should be configured to provide twice as much fuel when the manifold pressure
is twice as high and half the fuel when the manifold pressure is half as high; this should help
simplify the tuning process for different vacuum and boost levels. Notice the values in the
main “Fuel Map” do not change significantly above 100 kPa (0 psi boost), the fuel correction
is being made by the “Boost Fuel Trim Table.”
Note: the “Boost Fuel Trim Table” must be adjusted if a different MAP sensor is installed or if
the Load breakpoints are adjusted. The Boost Fuel Trim value should be set to -90 at 10kPa,
0 at 100 kPa, +100 at 200 kPa, +200 at 300 kPa, etc…

Check Engine Light

The Low Side 10 output (LS10) activates the Check Engine Light on the gauge cluster. It is
configured to activate at low RPM in the AEM startup calibrations; this can be reconfigured
by selecting Tools>>Configure Outputs.

AEM Electronic Throttle Control System (ETC)
The 30-6820 EMS incorporates an ETC system which controls the OEM electronic throttle body. All
components of this system, unmodified and as delivered from the manufacturer, are required for optimum and
safe functionality of this system. These components include, but are not limited to, wiring, ETC relay,
accelerator pedal assembly, and throttle body.

The EMS ETC control system incorporates multiple failsafe strategies such that in the event of a component
failure, the system will shut down the ETC system and, if necessary, the engine in a graceful manner. It still
remains the user’s responsibility to ensure that all vehicle, component, and wiring systems are maintained to a
level of workmanship consistent with industry standards.
Note: As the EMS is intended for use on vehicles that are to be operated off-road only, the factory cruise
control system will be non-operational after installation of the EMS.

Installation Information
The 30-6820 AEM EMS was designed to work with the vehicle, its components, and wiring as delivered from
the manufacturer. If any of the components or wiring have been changed or if the drive-line from the original
vehicle has been placed in another vehicle such in a custom race application then the user should take heed of
the following notes.

A mechanical Wide Open Throttle/”WOT” accelerator pedal travel stop is installed in the floor and/or carpet of
the vehicle as delivered from the manufacturer. If this stop is removed for any reason, such as removing the
carpet for use in a race vehicle, the user must ensure that a stop of some sort is fabricated and installed. This
stop must be fabricated such that there is a minimum clearance of 0.250 inches between the accelerator pedal
mounting bracket and the accelerator pedal actuating rod when the pedal is at WOT. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Minimum Pedal to Bracket Clearance

The CRUISE and SET/COAST buttons, and the CRUISE and SET dashboard indicator lights are an integral
part of the ETC system calibration and diagnostic functions. It is, therefore, not recommended that these
buttons and lights be completely removed from the vehicle such as could be the case with a purpose-built race
vehicle. If the OEM steering wheel and/or gauge cluster have been removed, please temporarily re-install them
to calibrate the ETC unit, or add switches and lights to the vehicle as shown:

Page 6 of 21
Electronic Throttle Control System Calibration Procedure
The 30-6820 / 30-6821 EMS, as delivered, requires a specific calibration procedure to be performed prior to
use. Before beginning this procedure, please be familiar with the location and function of the CRUISE and
SET/COAST buttons on the Cruise Control Steering Column Stalk as depicted in Figure 2. Also be aware of
the (green) CRUISE and SET indicator lights on the dashboard, Figure 3. This procedure should be
repeated any time any part of the ETC system has been serviced, removed, or replaced.

Note: Do not attempt to start or run the engine during the calibration procedure. The EMS will disable engine
start/running whilst in calibration mode.

Figure 2 - “CRUISE” and “SET/COAST” buttons Figure 3 -“CRUISE” and “SET” indicator lights

1. Initial Calibration Procedure

a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. The CRUISE and SET indicator lights will begin flashing in
unison at a medium rate.
b. Press and hold the CRUISE button (See Figure 4) for approximately three (3) seconds until the
indicator lights stop flashing.
c. There will be a brief delay after which the CRUISE light will flash once.
d. Ensure the accelerator pedal is not being depressed and is in the full “UP” position.
e. The SET indicator light will flash rapidly for a few seconds as the EMS calibrates this position.
f. There will be a brief delay after which the CRUISE light will flash twice.
g. Depress and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and ensure it is in the full Wide Open
Throttle/“WOT” position.
h. The SET indicator light will flash rapidly for a few seconds as the EMS calibrates this position.
i. There will be a brief delay after which the CRUISE light will flash three times.
j. The SET indicator light will flash rapidly for several seconds as the EMS calibrates the ETC throttle
body.
k. If the calibration procedure was successful and all the ETC sensors and actuators are found to be
within tolerance then the CRUISE and SET indicator lights will flash in unison at a medium rate.
l. If the calibration procedure fails, indicated by the CRUISE and SET indicator lights flashing in an
alternating pattern, please reference the sections entitled ETC Diagnostics and Calibration
Troubleshooting elsewhere in this document.
m. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
n. The ETC system is now calibrated and ready for use.

2. EMS Calibration
a. Connect to the EMS using AEMTuner.
b. Edit the Idle% vs. Target table, such that all cells are set to zero (0) percent.
c. Edit A/C Idle Load Comp and/or Idle Extra <12 Volt Options, to zero (0) percent.
d. Verify that the EMS parameter Idle Position parameter is zero (0) percent.
e. Select Wizards >> Set Throttle Range Wizard in the AEMTuner software and complete the procedure.
f. Restore the above Options to their original values to ensure proper idle control functionality.

Re-calibrating the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETC) Calibration

Once the ETC system calibration procedure has been performed, it should not need to be re-calibrated unless
one or more of the following is true:
• The APP sensor, TPS, or throttle body have been removed, replaced, or adjusted.
• The EMS has been removed and installed in a different vehicle.
• AEM Technical Support has requested it to be performed.
The following procedure describes the steps to re-activate calibration mode on a system that has already been
calibrated.

Activate Calibration Mode

a. Ensure the ignition key is in the OFF position.
b. Press and HOLD both the CRUISE and SET/COAST buttons. Please note that the CRUISE button is
activated by pressing the end of the Cruise Control Steering Column Stalk and the SET/COAST button
is activated by pulling the entire stalk downward as depicted in Figure 5. Both buttons must be
depressed and held prior to moving on to the next step.

Figure 5 - Pressing the “SET/COAST” and “CRUISE” buttons

c. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

d. Keep holding both the CRUISE and SET/COAST buttons for approximately ten (10) seconds until the
CRUISE and SET indicator lights (Figure 3) begin flashing in unison at a medium rate.
e. Release the CRUISE and SET/COAST buttons.
f. Calibration mode has now been activated. Follow the steps in Electronic Throttle Control System
Calibration Procedure – Initial Calibration Procedure to complete the process.

EMS Idle Control Calibration
The ETC idle control can be configured and calibrated via the AEMTuner software similarly to more traditional
systems that use an idle air bypass valve. There are a few calibration options that are set specifically to allow
proper ETC idle control and must not be changed from the values set forth in the 30-1820 startup calibration.
The options listed below must remain set as depicted for predictable ETC idle control. The other options that
are not highlighted have been set up for stable idle control in the 30-6820 startup calibration but are, however,
available for adjustment as the calibrator sees fit.

Idle On if TP Less = 13%

Idle Off if TP Over = 13%
Idle Invert = ON
Idle FB Dir Invert = ON
Idle PW Frequency = 10000.0 uS

ETC Fault Management

The ETC system continuously monitors itself for proper operation. If a fault is detected then the system will be
placed in a failsafe mode and power to the electronic throttle body will be turned off. This will allow the engine
to start and idle at approximately 1500-2000 rpm as a “limp-home” mode but the throttle body will not respond
to accelerator pedal inputs.

The system will continue to monitor itself and assume that the throttle blade will be in its rest position while in
this un-powered failsafe mode. If it is detected that this is not the case then the system will enter a second
failsafe stage whereby the crank signal to the EMS is interrupted. The tachometer will drop to zero and the
EMS will not fire fuel injectors or ignition coils. If the engine is running, it will coast to a stop. If the engine is not
running, it will not start.

ETC Diagnostics
The AEM EMS ETC system uses the CRUISE and SET indicator lights on the dashboard to display diagnostic
information to the user. The indicator lights flash in different ways for different purposes as described in the
following sections.

Figure 9 - CRUISE and SET Indicator Lights as diagnostic outputs

Boot-Up
When the ignition key is turned on and the EMS is powered up, both of the CRUISE and SET indicator
lights will flash briefly to signify the ETC system has booted up and that the indicator lights are
functioning properly.

Fault Detected
When the ETC system detects a fault, the CRUISE and SET indicator lights will flash in an alternating
fashion to alert the user a fault has been detected. This will happen in one of two situations:

1. Calibration Fault – A failed calibration will be detected if one of the sensors is found to be out of
the expected range during the calibration procedure. The indicator lights will flash in an
alternating pattern to alert the user of this fault for a period of approximately twenty (20)
seconds. After this time period, the CRUISE light will remain off and the SET indicator light will
flash a fault code. Please reference Table 1 for a description of the fault codes. The system
will flash the code repeatedly until the ignition is turned off.

2 APP Maximum
3 TPS Minimum
4 TPS Maximum
5 RP / Relay
Table 1 – System Fault Code

2. Operational Fault – When the system detects a fault during normal operation (e.g. driving,
idling, etc), the indicator lights will repeatedly flash in an alternating pattern to alert the user of
this fault until the ignition key is turned off. Note that the ETC system will not be functional and
the EMS may disable engine operation during this mode depending on the severity of the fault.

Once the ignition has been turned off and then on again the indicator lights will flash the fault
code for the affected system. The affected ETC system code will be first flashed on the
CRUISE light after which the failure type will be flashed on the SET light. These codes are
listed in Table 2 and Table 3. The ETC system will remain un-activated until the following boot-
up cycle, i.e. key-off then key-on.

Troubleshooting Calibration Faults

A calibration fault will be reported if the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) or Throttle Position Sensor
(TPS) sensors are found to be outside of the specification limits. Table 4 details the electrical limits for
these sensors.

1) Install AEMTuner software onto your PC
The latest version of the AEMTuner software can be downloaded from the AEMTuner
section of the AEM Performance Electronics forums found at www.aemelectronics.com
Series 2 units are not supported by the older AEMPro tuning software.

2) Remove the Stock Engine Control Unit

a) Disconnect negative terminal from battery
b) Access the stock Engine Control Unit (ECU). The location of the ECU on the WRX is
underneath the passenger side floorboard. A 10mm socket is required to remove the
kick panel that covers the stock ECU.
c) Carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the ECU. Avoid excessive stress or
pulling on the wires, as this may damage the wiring harness. All connectors must be
removed without damage to work properly with the AEM ECU. Do not cut any of the
wires in the factory wiring harness to remove them.
d) Remove the fasteners securing the ECU to the car body, and set them aside. Do not
destroy or discard the original ECU, as it can be reinstalled easily for street use and
troubleshooting.

3) Install the AEM Engine Management System

a) Plug the factory wiring harness into the AEM EMS and position it so the wires are not
pulled tight or stressed in any manner. Secure the EMS with the provided Velcro
fasteners.
b) Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
c) Plug the communications cable into the EMS and into your PC.
d) Turn the ignition on, but do not attempt to start the engine.
e) At the time these instructions were written, new EMS units do not require USB drivers
to be installed on the PC. The EMS will automatically be detected as a human
interface device (HID).
f) With the AEMTuner software open, select ECU>>Upload Calibration to upload the
startup calibration file (.cal) that most closely matches the vehicle’s configuration to
be tuned. Check the Notes section of the calibration for more info about the vehicle it
was configured for. These files can be found in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMTuner\Calibrations\AEM Updates\Subaru\
g) Set the throttle range: Select Wizards>>Set Throttle Range and follow the on-screen
instructions. When finished, check that the ‘Throttle’ channel never indicates less
than 0.2% or greater than 99.8%, this is considered a sensor error and may cause
some functions including idle feedback and acceleration fuel to operate incorrectly.

Page 13 of 21
4) Ready to begin tuning the vehicle.
a) Before starting the engine, verify that the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds
when the key is turned on and there is sufficient pressure at the fuel rail.
If a MAP sensor is installed, check that the Engine Load indicates something near
atmospheric pressure (approximately 101kPa or 0 PSI at sea level) with the key on
and engine off. Press the throttle and verify that the ‘Throttle’ channel responds but
the Engine Load channel continues to measure atmospheric pressure correctly.

b) Start the engine and make whatever adjustments may be needed to sustain a safe
and reasonably smooth idle. Verify the ignition timing: Select Wizards>>Ignition
Timing Sync from the pull-down menu. Click the ‘Lock Ignition Timing’ checkbox
and set the timing to a safe and convenient value (for instance, 10 degrees BTDC).
Use a timing light to compare the physical timing numbers to the timing value you
selected. Use the Sync Adjustment Increase/Decrease buttons to make the physical
reading match the timing number you selected.

Crankshaft timing marks are not labeled for some vehicles. Consult the factory
service manual for more information.

c) Note: This calibration needs to be properly tuned before driving the vehicle. It is
intended for racing vehicles and may not operate smoothly at idle or part-throttle.

NEVER TUNE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING

Page 14 of 21
5) Troubleshooting an engine that will not start
a) Double-check all the basics first. Engines need air, fuel, compression, and a
correctly-timed spark event. If any of these are lacking, we suggest checking simple
things first. Depending on the symptoms, it may be best to inspect fuses, sufficient
battery voltage, properly mated wiring connectors, spark using a timing light or by
removing the spark plug, wiring continuity tests, measure ECU pinout voltages,
replace recently-added or untested components with known-good spares. Check that
all EMS sensor inputs measure realistic temperature and/or pressure values.

b) If the EMS is not firing the coils or injectors at all, open the Start tab and look for the
‘Stat Sync’d’ channel to turn ON when cranking. This indicates that the EMS has
detected the expected cam and crank signals; if Stat Sync’d does not turn on,
monitor the Crank Tooth Period and T2PER channels which indicate the time
between pulses on the Crank and T2 (Cam) signals. Both of these channels should
respond when the engine is cranking, if either signal is not being detected or
measuring an incorrect number of pulses per engine cycle the EMS will not fire the
coils or injectors.

c) If the Engine Load changes when the throttle is pressed this usually indicates that
there is a problem with the MAP sensor wiring or software calibration (when the EMS
detects that the MAP Volts are above or below the min/max limits it will run in a
failsafe mode using the TPS-to-Load table to generate an artificial Engine Load signal
using the Throttle input). This may allow the engine to sputter or start but not continue
running properly.

Sufficient battery voltage during cranking (starting)

Having enough battery voltage when you crank over your vehicle is critical to the
operation of your vehicle and your AEM EMS. For the EMS to function properly, the
battery voltage must remain at or above 8 Volts when the vehicle is first starting. This
is the time when your electrical system will be worked its hardest and be at its lowest
voltage. If you are connected to your Series 2 EMS with a USB communications
cable, and you experience disconnecting while the vehicle is cranking, the reason
may be a battery voltage of less than 8 volts. If this is the case, you can confirm this
by connecting with a serial cable (a serial adapter may be required if your computer is
not equipped with a serial port) and check in the AEMTuner software for a Channel
called “Run Time”. “Run Time” is the amount of time, in seconds, that the EMS has
been turned on for. If you notice that this Channel goes to zero while the EMS is
communicating with the computer and the vehicle is being cranked, that means the
EMS has had lower than 8 Volts at some point and has reset the system. A thorough
wiring check may reveal a large voltage drop causing this problem, or it may simply
be the need for a new or a larger battery.
