Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start the engine.
2) Read the data of engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor 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(H6DO)(diag)-34, Subaru Select Moni-
tor.>
• General Scan Tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
general scan tool operation manual.

Is the engine coolant tempera-
ture less than –40°C (–40°F) ?

Go to step 2.

Even if DTC is
detected, the cir-
cuit has returned to
a normal condition
at this time. Repro-
duce the failure,
and then perform
the diagnosis
again.

NOTE:
In this case, tem-
porary poor con-
tact of connector
may be the cause.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check for poor contact in ECM and engine cool-
ant temperature sensor connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM or
engine coolant temperature
sensor connector?

Repair the poor
contact in ECM or
engine coolant
temperature sen-
sor connector.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND EN-
GINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and
engine coolant temperature sensor.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between
ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor
connector.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 34 — (E8) No. 2:
(B134) No. 29 — (E8) No. 1:

Is the resistance less than 1

:? Go to step 4.

Repair the harness
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit in
harness between
ECM and engine
coolant tempera-
ture sensor con-
nector
• Poor contact of
coupling connector

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND EN-
GINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CONNECTOR.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure the voltage between ECM and
chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 34 (+) — Chassis ground (–):

Is the voltage 5 V or more?

Repair the short
circuit to power in
harness between
ECM and engine
coolant tempera-
ture sensor con-
nector.

Replace the
engine coolant
temperature sen-
sor. <Ref. to
FU(H6DO)-20,
Engine Coolant
Temperature Sen-
sor.>

tronic throttle con-
trol connector.
