1999 SUBARU FORESTER automatic transmission

1A8 : CHECK VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR.
1) Connect connector to vehicle speed sensor.
2) Set the vehicle on a free roller, or lift-up the
vehicle and support with safety stands.
WARNING:
Be careful not to get caught in the rotating
wheels.
3) Set oscilloscope to vehicle speed sensor con-
nector terminals.

4) Drive the vehicle at speed greater than 20 km/h
(12 MPH).
5) Measure signal voltage indicated on oscillo-
scope.

:Is the voltage more than 5 V?
: Repair or replace speedometer.
: Replace vehicle speed sensor. 6-2 [W1100].>1A9 : CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR
BETWEEN COMBINATION METER
AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CONTROL MODULE.
1) Disconnect connector from automatic transmis-
sion control module.
2) Measure resistance between combination
meter connector (i10) and automatic transmission
control module connector (B56).
CAUTION:
To measure the voltage and/or resistance, use
a tapered pin with a diameter of less than 0.64
mm (0.025 in). Do not insert the pin more than
5 mm (0.20 in).
