CHECK MASS AIR FLOW AND INTAKE AIR 
TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Start and warm-up the engine until engine 
coolant temperature is above 60

°C (140°F).

2) Place the shift lever in neutral position.
3) Turn the A/C switch to OFF.
4) Turn all the accessory switches to OFF.
5) Open the front hood.
6) Measure the ambient temperature.
7) Read the data of mass air flow and intake 
air temperature 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(H4DOTC)(diag)-24, Subaru Select Mon-
itor.>
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the 
general scan tool operation manual.

Subtract the ambient tempera-
ture from intake air tempera-
ture. Is the value from 

−10°C 

(14

°F) to 50°C (122°F)?

Replace the ECM. 
<Ref. to 
FU(H4DOTC)-34, 
Engine Control 
Module (ECM).>

Check 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)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK SENSOR OUTPUT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Read the data of sub throttle sensor signal 
using Subaru Select Monitor.

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.>

Is the voltage more than 0.8 V? Go to step 2.

Go to step 3.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in connector between 
ECM and electronic throttle control.

Is there poor contact?

Repair the poor 
contact.

Temporary poor 
contact occurred, 
but it is normal at 
present.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Disconnect the connectors from electronic 
throttle control.
4) Measure the resistance between ECM con-
nector and electronic throttle control connector.

Connector & terminal

Ω?

Go to step 4.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
connector.

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL.
Measure the resistance between ECM connec-
tor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 29 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 16 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 
M

Ω?

Go to step 5.

Repair the chas-
sis short circuit of 
harness.

5

CHECK SENSOR POWER SUPPLY.
1) Connect the ECM connector.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure the voltage between electronic 
throttle control connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E57) No. 5 (+) — Engine ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.5 V?

Go to step 6.

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
connector. 
Replace the ECM 
if defective. <Ref. 
to FU(H4DOTC)-
34, Engine Con-
trol Module 
(ECM).>

6

CHECK SHORT CIRCUIT INSIDE THE ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between electronic 
throttle control connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E57) No. 4 — Engine ground:

Is the resistance more than 10 
Ω?

Repair the poor 
contact of elec-
tronic throttle con-
trol connector. 
Replace the elec-
tronic throttle con-
trol if defective.

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
connector. 
Replace the ECM 
if defective. <Ref. 
to FU(H4DOTC)-
34, Engine Con-
trol Module 
(ECM).>
