READ DATA.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect Subaru Select Monitor or the OBD-II general
scan tool to data link connector.
3) Turn ignition switch to ON and Subaru Select Monitor or
the OBD-II general scan tool switch to ON.
4) Start engine.
5) Read data on Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general
scan tool.

Subaru Select Monitor
Designate mode using function key.
Function mode: F08 or F47

F08: Voltage input from mass air flow sensor is shown
on display.

F47: Mass air flow is shown on display.

F08: Is sensor output equal to or more
than 0.3 V and equal to or less than
5.0 V?

F47: Is sensor output equal to or more
than 1.3 g/sec and equal to or less
than 250 g/sec?
Probable cause: Poor connect of connectors, circuit and
grounding line.
: Even if MIL lights up, the circuit has returned to a
normal condition at this time. A temporary poor
contact of the connector or harness may be the
cause. Repair harness or connector of the mass
air flow sensor.
HINT:
1Open or short circuit between mass air flow sen-
sor and ECM.

2Poor contact of connectors for mass air flow sen-
sor or ECM.
: Go to next.
: Is the value less than 0.3 V (1.3 g/sec)?
: Go to step 2.
: Go to step 5.

F: DTC P0115
—ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (TW)—
OBD0173A
DESCRIPTION:
The engine coolant temperature sensor is located on the
engine coolant pipe which is made of aluminum alloy. Its
thermistor changes resistance with respect to temperature.
A engine coolant temperature signal converted into resis-
tance is transmitted to the ECM to control the amount of
fuel injection, ignition timing, purge control solenoid valve,
etc.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Hard to start

Erroneous idling

Poor driving performance
