Perform “Read Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC)”. nostic Trouble Code (DTC).>Does the POWER indicator
light blink?A temporary poor
contact of the con-
nector or harness
may be the cause.
Repair the har-
ness or connector
in TCM, inhibitor
switch and combi-
nation meter.Go to step 9.
4 CHECK FUSE (No. 14).
Remove the fuse (No. 14).Is the fuse (No. 14) blown out? Replace the fuse
(No. 14). If
replaced fuse (No.
14) is blown out
easily, repair short
circuit in harness
between fuse (No.
14) and combina-
tion meter.Go to step 5.
5 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
COMBINATION METER AND IGNITION
SWITCH.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine
OFF).
2) Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i10) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage more than 9 V? Go to step 6.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between combina-
tion meter and bat-
tery.
6 CHECK COMBINATION METER.
Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i11) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 9 V? Repair the combi-
nation meter.
Combination
Meter Assembly.>Go to step 7.
7 CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT OF HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from combination
meter connector.
3) Measure the resistance of harness
between combination meter.
Connector & terminal
(B56) No. 11 — (i11) No. 2:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 8.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between TCM and
combination
meter, and poor
contact in cou-
pling connector.
8 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect the connector to TCM and combi-
nation meter.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine
OFF).
3) Measure the voltage between TCM con-
nector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B56) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 1 V? Even if the
POWER indicator
lights up, the cir-
cuit has returned
to a normal condi-
tion at this time. A
temporary poor
contact of the con-
nector or harness
may be the cause.
Repair the har-
ness or connector
in TCM.Replace the TCM.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER TURBINE
SPEED SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from transmis-
sion.
3) Measure the resistance between transmis-
sion connector receptacle’s terminals.
Connector & terminal
(T4) No. 14 — No. 15:Is the resistance 450 — 650
Ω?Go to step 2.Replace the tur-
bine speed sensor.

Sensor.>
2 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
1) Disconnect the connector from TCM.
2) Measure the resistance of harness
between TCM and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 8 — (B11) No. 14:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 3.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector.
3 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
TCM and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 9 — (B11) No. 15:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 4.Repair the open
circuit in harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector, and poor
contact in cou-
pling connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure the resistance of harness between
TCM and chassis ground.

TCM and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 8 — Chassis ground:Is the resistance more than 1
MΩ?Go to step 6.Repair the short
circuit in harness
between TCM and
transmission con-
nector, and poor

pling connector.
6 PREPARE OSCILLOSCOPE.Do you have an oscilloscope? Go to step 10.Go to step 7.
7 PREPARE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.Do you have a Subaru Select
Monitor?Go to step 9.Go to step 8.
8 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect the connectors to TCM and trans-
mission.
2) Start the engine and move select lever to
“P” or “N” range.
3) Measure the voltage between TCM con-
nector terminals.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 8 (+) — No. 9 (
−):Is the voltage more than AC 1
V?Even if the
POWER indicator
lights up, the cir-
cuit has returned
to a normal condi-
tion at this time. A
temporary poor
contact of the con-
nector or harness
may be the cause.
