Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from TCM and
transmission.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between
TCM connector and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 6 — (B11) No. 7:

Is the resistance less than 1

:? Go to step 2.

Repair the open
circuit of harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.

2

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of the harness connec-
tor between TCM connector and chassis
ground.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 6 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 M

: or

more?

Go to step 3.

Repair the short
circuit of harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.

3

CHECK HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID.
Measure the resistance between transmission
connector receptacle’s terminals.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — No. 20:

Is the resistance 2.0 — 6.0

:? Go to step 4.

Go to step 7.

4

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM TCM US-
ING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
1) Connect the connectors to TCM and trans-
mission.
2) Lift up the vehicle.
3) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
4) Start the engine, and run the Subaru Select
Monitor.
5) Start the engine and warm up the engine
until the ATF temperature exceeds 80°C
(176°F).

NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F),
drive the vehicle until the ATF reaches its oper-
ating temperature.
6) Read the data of “High Clutch Duty” using
Subaru Select Monitor.
• High clutch duty solenoid is indicated in “%”.
7) Shift the select lever to “D”, and slowly
increase vehicle speed to measure at 3rd or
4th.

NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may illuminate the ABS warning light,
but this does not indicate a malfunction. When
AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the
ABS or VDC clear memory of on-board diag-
nostics system. <Ref. to ABS(diag)-20, Clear
Memory Mode.> <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23, Clear
Memory Mode.>

Is the measured value 0%?

Go to step 5.

Go to step 6.

5

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM TCM US-
ING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
Return the engine to idling speed and shift the
select lever to “N” range.

NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear
wheels may illuminate the ABS warning light,
but this does not indicate a malfunction. When
AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the
ABS or VDC clear memory of on-board diag-
nostics system. <Ref. to ABS(diag)-20, Clear
Memory Mode.> <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23, Clear
Memory Mode.>

Is the measured value 100%?

Even if the ATF
temperature warn-
ing light blinks, the
circuit is in normal
condition at this
time. A temporary
poor contact of
connector or har-
ness may be the
cause. Repair the
harness or con-
nector in TCM and
transmission.

Go to step 6.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT.

Is there poor contact in high
clutch duty solenoid circuit?

Repair the poor
contact.

Replace the TCM.
<Ref. to 4AT-61,
Transmission Con-
trol Module
(TCM).>

7

CHECK HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID (IN
TRANSMISSION).
1) Remove the transmission connector from
bracket.
2) Drain the automatic transmission fluid.

CAUTION:
Do not drain ATF until it cools down.
3) Remove the oil pan, and disconnect the
control valve body connector.
4) Measure the resistance between high clutch
duty solenoid connector and transmission
ground.

Connector & terminal

(AT2) No. 3 — Transmission ground:

Is the resistance 2.0 — 6.0

:? Go to step 8.

Replace the con-
trol valve body.
<Ref. to 4AT-56,
Control Valve
Body.>

8

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID AND
TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
high clutch duty solenoid and transmission con-
nector.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — (AT2) No. 3:

Is the resistance less than 1

:? Go to step 9.

Repair the open
circuit of harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.

9

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID AND
TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
transmission connector and transmission
ground.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — Transmission ground:

Is the resistance 1 M

: or

more?

Even if the ATF
temperature warn-
ing light blinks, the
circuit is in normal
condition at this
time. A temporary
poor contact of
connector or har-
ness may be the
cause. Repair the
harness or con-
nector in high
clutch duty sole-
noid and transmis-
sion.

Repair the short
circuit of harness
between high
clutch duty sole-
noid and transmis-
sion connector.

link connector.
3) Start the engine, and run the Subaru Select
Monitor.

“%”.

Is the measured value 100%?

Go to step 5.

Go to step 6.

ABS or VDC clear memory of on-board diag-
nostics system. <Ref. to ABS(diag)-20, Clear
Memory Mode.> <Ref. to VDC(diag)-23, Clear
Memory Mode.>
