DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure voltage between ECM and chas-

sis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 8 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value in neutral position?

5 V

Go to step 2.

Go to step 4.

2

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
Measure voltage between ECM and chassis 
ground.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 8 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value at except neutral position?

1 V

Go to step 3.

Go to step 5.

3

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 SUBARU 
distributor service.

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

4

CHECK NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH.
Measure resistance between transmission har-
ness  connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(T9) No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value at except neutral position?

1 

Ω

Go to step 5.

Repair open circuit 
in transmission 
harness or replace 
neutral position 
switch.

5

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH CONNEC-
TOR.
1) Disconnect connector from ECM.
2) Measure resistance of harness between 

ECM and transmission harness connector.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 8 — (B128) No. 1:

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

1 

Ω

Go to step 6.

Repair open circuit 
in harness 
between ECM and 
transmission har-
ness connector.

6

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH CONNEC-
TOR.
Measure resistance of harness between trans-
mission harness connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(B128) No. 2 — Engine ground:

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value?

5 

Ω

Go to step 7.

Repair harness 
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following:
• Open circuit in 
harness between 
transmission har-
ness connector 
and engine 
grounding terminal
• Poor contact in 
coupling connector

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

There is poor contact.

Repair poor con-
tact in transmis-
sion harness 
connector.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

AQ:DTC P1110 — ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNC-

TION (LOW INPUT) —

CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct Clear Memory Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOSTC)-35, 
OPERATION, Clear Memory Mode.> and Inspection Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOSTC)-33, Inspection 
Mode.> .

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.
Does the Subaru Select Monitor indicate DTC 
P1110?

DTC P1110 indicated.

Replace the ECM.  
<Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-
40, Engine Con-
trol Module.>

NOTE:
Atmospheric pres-
sure sensor is built
into ECM.

It is not necessary 
to inspect DTC
