DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
No.
1 CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start engine.
2) Read data of engine coolant temperature
sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor or
OBD-II general scan tool.
NOTE:
¼ Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the
"READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE".
<Ref. to EN-34, Subaru Select Monitor.>
¼ OBD-II general scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
OBD-II General Scan Tool Instruction Manual.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND
ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from engine coolant
temperature sensor.
3) Measure voltage between engine coolant
temperature sensor connector and engine
ground.
Connector & terminal
(E8) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (−):
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE
