7A3CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINA-
TION METER AND IGNITION SWITCH
CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure voltage between combination meter connector
and chassis ground.
: Connector & terminal
(i14) No. 11 (+)—Chassis ground ( ):
Is voltage more than 10 V?
: Go to next.
: Check the following and repair if necessary.
Blown out fuse (No. 15).
NOTE:
If replaced fuse (No. 15) blows easily, check the harness
for short circuit of harness between fuse (No. 15) and com-
bination meter connector.
Open or short circuit in harness between fuse (No. 15)
and combination meter connector
Open or short circuit in harness between fuse (No. 15)
and ignition switch connector
Poor contact in ignition switch connector
: Is there poor contact in combination meter
connector?
: Repair poor contact in combination meter connec-
tor.
: Replace bulb or combination meter.

B: CHECK ENGINE MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) DOES NOT GO OFF.
DIAGNOSIS:
The CHECK ENGINE malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
circuit is shorted.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Although MIL comes on when engine runs, trouble code
is not shown on Subaru select monitor or OBD-II general
scan tool display.

C: CHECK ENGINE MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) DOES NOT BLINK AT
A CYCLE OF 3 HZ.
DIAGNOSIS:
The CHECK ENGINE malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
circuit is open or shorted.
Test mode connector circuit is in open.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
When inspection mode, MIL does not blink at a cycle of
3 Hz.

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
Measure voltage between test mode connector and chas-
sis ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B75) No.1 (+)—Chassis ground ( ):
Is voltage less than 1 V?
: Go to step7C3.
: Go to step7C4.

7C3CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
TEST MODE CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ECM.
3) Measure resistance of harness between ECM and test
mode connector.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No.84—(B75) No.1:
Is resistance less than 1Ω?
: Go to next.
: Repair open circuit in harness between ECM and
test mode connector.
: Is there poor contact in ECM connector?
: Repair poor contact in ECM connector.
: Replace ECM.

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure resistance of harness between test mode con-
nector and chassis ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B76) No.1—Chassis ground:
Is resistance less than 5Ω?
: Repair poor contact in test mode connector.
: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:
Open circuit in harness between test mode and coupling
connector (B22)
Open circuit in harness between coupling connector
(B22) and engine grounding terminal
Poor contact in coupling connector (B22)
