DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

6

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND IN-
TAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CON-
NECTOR.
Measure resistance of harness between ECM
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 13 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified
value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 7.

Repair ground
short circuit in har-
ness between
ECM and idle air
control solenoid
valve connector.

7

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM connector?

There is poor contact.

Repair poor con-
tact in ECM con-
nector.

Contact with your
Subaru distributor.

NOTE:
Inspection by your
Subaru distributor
is required, be-
cause probable
cause is deteriora-
tion of multiple
parts.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

H: DTC 31 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

• DIAGNOSIS:

• The throttle position sensor signal is abnormal.
• The throttle position sensor is installed abnormally.
• The harness connector between ECM and throttle position sensor is in short or open.

• TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

• Erroneous idling
• Engine stalls
• Poor driving performance

CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct CLEAR MEMORY and INSPECTION MODES. <Ref.
to EN(H4SOw/oOBD)-28, OPERATION, Clear Memory Mode.> and <Ref. to EN(H4SOw/oOBD)-26, OP-
ERATION, Inspection Mode.>

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK CONDITION OF THROTTLE POSI-
TION SENSOR INSTALLATION.
Are the throttle position sensor installing screw
tightened securely?

Installing screw is securely
tightened.

Go to step 2.

Adjust throttle
position sensor
and tighten throt-
tle position sensor
installing screws
securely.

2

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR.
1) Disconnect connector from ECM and throt-

tle position sensor.

2) Measure resistance between ECM and

throttle position sensor.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 16 — (E13) No. 2:
(B136) No. 17 — (E13) No. 3:
(B136) No. 15 — (E13) No. 4:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1

Ω

Go to step 3.

Repair open circuit
between ECM and
throttle position
sensor.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CONNEC-
TOR.
1) Disconnect connector from TCM. (AT vehi-

cle)

2) Measure resistance between ECM and

chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 16 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 17 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 15 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 4.

Repair ground
short circuit
between ECM and
chassis ground.

4

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1) Connect connector to ECM and throttle

position sensor.

2) Ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure voltage between ECM terminals

while throttle valve is fully closed.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 17 — No. 15:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

0.1 V

Go to step 6.

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
Measure voltage between ECM terminals
while throttle valve is fully opened.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 17 — No. 15:

Does the measured value exceed the specified
value?

4.5 V

Go to step 6.

Replace ECM.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in throttle position sensor
connector.
Is there poor contact in throttle position sensor
connector?

There is poor contact.

Repair poor con-
tact in throttle posi-
tion sensor
connector.

Replace throttle
position sensor.
