ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FRONT OXY-
GEN (A/F) SENSOR.
1)Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2)Disconnect the connector from front oxygen
(A/F) sensor.
3)Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4)Measure the voltage between front oxygen
(A/F) sensor connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
(B18) No. 2 (+) —Engine ground (
−
−−
−
):
Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 2. Repair the power
supply line.
N
TE:
In this case, repair
the following:
•Open circuit in
harness between
main relay and
front oxygen (A/F)
sensor connector
•Poor contact in
front oxygen (A/F)
sensor connector
•Poor contact in
main relay connec-
tor
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF ECM.
Measure the resistance of harness between
ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 8 —Chassis ground:
(B84) No. 9 —Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 5
Ω?
Go to step 3. Repair the har-
ness and connec-
tor.
NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
•Open circuit in
harness between
ECM and engine
ground cable
•Poor contact in
ECM connector
•Poor contact in
coupling connector
3 CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1)Start the engine.
2)Read the data of front oxygen (A/F) sensor
heater current using Subaru Select Monitor or
OBD-II general scan tool.
NOTE:
•Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
“READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”.
<Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-32, Subaru
Select Monitor.>
•OBD-II scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
OBD-II General Scan Tool Instruction Manual.
Is the current more than 0.2 A? Repair the poor
contact in connec-
tor.
N
TE:
In this case, repair
the following:
•Poor contact in
front oxygen (A/F)
sensor connector
•Poor contact in
ECM connector
Go to step 4.
4 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
1)Start and idle the engine.
2)Measure the voltage between ECM connec-
tor and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 4 (+) —Chassis ground (
−
−−
−
):
Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 6. Go to step 5.
5 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
Measure the voltage between ECM connector
and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 4 (+) —Chassis ground (
−
−−
−
):
Shake the ECM harness and
connector, while monitoring
value of voltage meter. Does
the voltage change?
Repair the poor
contact in ECM
connector.
Go to step 6.
6 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
Measure the voltage between ECM connector
and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 5 (+) —Chassis ground (
−
−−
−
):
Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 8. Go to step 7.
