nector and grounding terminal

Poor contact in combination meter connector

Poor contact in grounding terminal
H2M1414B
10BP3CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
(USING VOLTAGE METER AND SUBARU
SELECT MONITOR.)
1) Turn ignition switch to ON. (Engine OFF)
2) Measure voltage between ECM connector and chassis
ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 27 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage more than 4.75 V?
: Go to step10BP4.
: Go to next step 3).

3) Measure voltage between ECM connector and chassis
ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 27 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage less than 0.12 V?
: Go to step10BP9(LHD) or10BP10(RHD).
: Go to next.

BR: DTC P1502
—RADIATOR FAN FUNCTION PROBLEM
(FAN
—F)—
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Two consecutive trips with fault
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Occurrence of noise

Overheating
10BR1Check any other DTC (beside DTC P1502) on
display.
CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct
CLEAR MEMORY and INSPECTION MODES.

NOTE:
If the vehicle, with the engine idling, is placed very close to
a wall or another vehicle, preventing normal cooling
function, the OBD system may detect malfunction.

CHECK DTC P1700 ON DISPLAY.
: Does the Subaru select monitor or OBD-II
general scan tool indicate DTC P1700?
: Check throttle position sensor circuit.
NOTE:
For the diagnostic procedure on throttle position sensor
circuit, refer to 3-2 [T7K0].

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect connector to TCM and CCM.
2) Lift-up the vehicle or set the vehicle on free rollers.
CAUTION:
On AWD models, raise all wheels off ground.
3) Start the engine.
4) Cruise control main switch to ON.
5) TCS OFF switch to ON. (with TCS models only)
6) Move selector lever to“D”and slowly increase vehicle
speed to 50 km/h (31 MPH).
7) Cruise control set switch to ON.
8) Measure voltage between TCM and chassis ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B56) No. 3 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage less than 1 V?
: Go to next.
: Check cruise control set circuit. [T7A0].>
: Is there poor contact in TCM connector?
: Repair poor contact in TCM connector.
: Replace TCM.

TERMINAL.
1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 81 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage more than 2 V?
: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and
engine grounding terminal

Poor contact in engine grounding terminal

Poor contact in coupling connector (B22)
: Go to next.
: Is there poor contact in ECM connector?
: Repair poor contact in ECM connector.
: Contact with SOA service.
NOTE:
Inspection by DTM is required, because probable cause is
deterioration of multiple parts.
