7) Use engine grounding terminal or engine proper as the
grounding point to the body when measuring voltage and
resistance in the engine compartment.
OBD0040B
8) Use TCM mounting stud bolts at the body head ground-
ing point when measuring voltage and resistance inside the
passenger compartment.
9) Every MFI-related part is a precision part. Do not drop
them.
10) Observe the following cautions when installing a radio
in MFI equipped models.
CAUTION:

The antenna must be kept as far apart as possible
from the control unit.
(The ECM is located under the steering column, inside
of the instrument panel lower trim panel.)

The antenna feeder must be placed as far apart as
possible from the ECM and MFI harness.

Carefully adjust the antenna for correct matching.

When mounting a large power type radio, pay spe-
cial attention to the three items above mentioned.

Incorrect installation of the radio may affect the
operation of the ECM.
11) Before disconnecting the fuel hose, disconnect the fuel
pump connector and crank the engine for more than five
seconds to release pressure in the fuel system. If engine
starts during this operation, run it until it stops.
12) Problems in the electronic-controlled automatic trans-
mission may be caused by failure of the engine, the elec-
tronic control system, the transmission proper, or by a com-
bination of these. These three causes must be distin-
guished clearly when performing diagnostics.
13) Diagnostics should be conducted by rotating with
simple, easy operations and proceeding to complicated,
difficult operations. The most important thing in diagnostics
is to understand the customer’s complaint, and distinguish
between the three causes.

(2) Disconnect connector from fuel tank.
(3) Start the engine, and run it until it stalls.
(4) After stopping the engine, crank the engine for 5 to
7 seconds to reduce fuel pressure.
(5) Turn ignition switch to OFF.

3) Disconnect fuel delivery hose from fuel filter, and con-
nect fuel pressure gauge.
G2M0348
4) Start the engine and idle while gear position is neutral.
5) Measure fuel pressure while disconnecting pressure
regulator vacuum hose from intake manifold.
: Is fuel pressure between 226 and 275 kPa
(2.3—2.8 kg/cm2,33—40 psi)?
: Go to next step 6).
: Repair the following items.
Fuel pressure too high
Clogged fuel return line or bent
hose
Fuel pressure too low
Improper fuel pump discharge

Clogged fuel supply line

(5) Start and warm-up the engine and transmission.
(6) Stop the engine and turn ignition switch to ON
(Engine OFF).
(7) Move selector lever to“N”.
(8) Read data on Subaru select monitor.

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTORS BETWEEN
TCM AND ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connectors from TCM and transmission.
3) Measure resistance of harness connector between
TCM and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal / Specified resistance:
(B54) No. 10—(B11)No.5/1Ω, or less
(B56) No. 20—(B11) No. 12 / 1Ω, or less
B3M0220B
4) Measure resistance of harness connector between
TCM and body to make sure that circuit does not short.
Connector & terminal / Specified resistance:
(B54) No. 10—Body/1MΩ, or more
(B56) No. 20—Body/1MΩ, or more
G3M0126
2. CHECK ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Measure resistance between transmission connector
receptacle’s terminals.
Connector & terminal / Specified resistance:
(T4) No. 5—No. 12 /
2.1—2.9 kΩ[ATF temperature: 20°C (68°F)]
2) Connect connectors to transmission and TCM.
3) Start and warm-up the engine until ATF temperature
has increased.
4) Stop the engine and disconnect connector from trans-
mission.
5) Measure resistance between transmission connector
receptacle’s terminals.
Connector & terminal / Specified resistance:
(T4) No. 5—No. 12 /
275—375Ω[ATF temperature: 80°C (176°F)]
