1

READ DATA CONNECTING SUBARU SE-
LECT MONITOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor or gen-
eral scan tool to data link connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON and the Sub-
aru Select Monitor power switch to ON.
4) Start and idle the engine.
5) Read the voltage of mass air flow sensor
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(H4DOTC)(diag)-24, Subaru Select Mon-
itor.>
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
general scan tool operation manual.

Is the voltage 0.2 — 4.7 V?

Even if the mal-
function indicator
light illuminates,
the circuit has
returned to a nor-
mal condition at
this time. A tempo-
rary poor contact
in connector or
harness may be
the cause. Repair
the harness or
connector in mass
air flow sensor.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open or ground
short circuit of har-
ness between
mass air flow sen-
sor and ECM con-
nector
• Poor contact in
mass air flow sen-
sor or ECM con-
nector

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.
Measure the voltage between ECM connector
and chassis ground while engine is idling.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 23 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 0.2 V? Go to step 4.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM (USING
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR).
Measure the voltage between ECM connector
and chassis ground while engine is idling.

Does the voltage change by
shaking the harness and con-
nector of ECM while monitor-
ing the value with Subaru
Select Monitor?

Repair the poor
contact in ECM
connector.

Replace and
check it again
because of ECM
malfunction possi-
bility.

4

CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO MASS AIR
FLOW SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from mass air
flow sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between mass air flow
sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B3) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 5.

Repair the open
circuit between
mass air flow sen-
sor and main relay.

5

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Measure the resistance of harness
between ECM and mass air flow sensor con-
nector.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 23 — (B3) No. 3:
(B136) No. 31 — (B3) No. 2:
(B136) No. 35 — (B3) No. 5:

Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?

Go to step 6.

Repair the open
circuit between
ECM and mass air
flow sensor con-
nector.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

6

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CONNECTOR.
Measure the resistance of harness between
ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 23 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 31 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 35 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1
M

Ω?

Go to step 7.

Repair the ground
short circuit
between ECM and
mass air flow sen-
sor connector.

7

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in mass air flow sensor
connector.

Is there poor contact in mass
air flow sensor connector?

Repair the poor
contact in mass air
flow sensor con-
nector.

Replace the mass
air flow and intake
air temperature
sensor. <Ref. to
FU(H4DOTC)-27,
Mass Air Flow and
Intake Air Temper-
ature Sensor.>

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

F: DTC P0103 MASS OR VOLUME AIR FLOW CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
Immediately at fault recognition
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
• Erroneous idling
• Engine stalls.
• Poor driving performance

CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-
37, OPERATION, Clear Memory Mode.> and Inspection Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-30, PROCE-
DURE, Inspection Mode.>.
