Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK OPTION CODE.

Is the option code EC, EK, EH,
ER or K4?

Go to step 2.

Refer to EN(H4SO
2.0) section. <Ref.
to EN(H4SO
2.0)(diag)-64, List
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>

NOTE:
Fuel injection sys-
tem for KA and KS
model is the same
as 2.0 L model.

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN CAMSHAFT
POSITION SENSOR AND ECM CONNEC-
TOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from camshaft
position sensor.

installation bolt tightened
securely?

Go to step 6.

Tighten the cam-
shaft position sen-
sor installation bolt
securely.

6

CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.
1) Remove the camshaft position sensor.
2) Measure the resistance between connector
terminals of camshaft position sensor.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance 1 — 4 k

Ω?

Repair the poor
contact in cam-
shaft position sen-
sor connector.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using
“List of Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)”. <Ref. to
EN(H4SO
2.5)(diag)-69, List
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start the engine.
2) Read the data of intake manifold absolute
pressure signal using Subaru Select Monitor or
general scan tool.

NOTE:

• Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to
“READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”. <Ref.
to EN(H4SO 2.5)(diag)-25, Subaru Select
Monitor.>
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
general scan tool operation manual.

Is the measured value more
than 53.3 kPa (400 mmHg,
15.75 inHg)?

Make sure that the
EGR valve, mani-
fold absolute pres-
sure sensor and
throttle body are
installed securely.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF EGR SOLE-
NOID VALVE.

noid valve.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure the voltage between EGR sole-
noid valve and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E18) No. 2 (+) — Engine ground (

−

):

(E18) No. 5 (+) — Engine ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 4.

Repair the open
circuit of harness
between main
relay and EGR
solenoid valve
connector.

4

CHECK EGR SOLENOID VALVE.
Measure the resistance between EGR sole-
noid valve terminals.

NOTE:

Make sure there is no foreign material between
EGR solenoid valve and valve seat.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:
No. 3 — No. 2:
No. 4 — No. 5:
No. 6 — No. 5:

Is the resistance 20 — 30

Ω?

Go to step 5.

Replace the EGR
solenoid valve.
<Ref. to FU(H4SO
2.5)-31, EGR
Valve.>

5

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect the connector to ECM and EGR
solenoid valve.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between ECM and
chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 8 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

(B134) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

(B134) No. 10 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

(B134) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 0 — 10 V?

Repair the poor
contact portion in
ECM connector.

Go to step 6.
