Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.Is any other DTC displayed? Inspect the DTC 
using “List of Diag-
nostic Trouble 
Code (DTC)”. 
EN(H4SO)-72, List 
of Diagnostic Trou-
ble Code (DTC).>
N
OTE:
In this case, it is not
necessary to in-
spect DTC P0138.Go to step 2.
2 CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Warm-up the engine until engine coolant 
temperature is above 70°C (158°F), and lower 
the engine speed rapidly from 5,000 rpm.
2) Read the data of rear oxygen (A/F) sensor 
signal using Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II 
scan tool.
NOTE:
 Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the 
“READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”. 
to EN(H4SO)-29, Subaru Select Monitor.>
 OBD-II scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the 
OBD-II Scan Tool Instruction Manual.Does the voltage vary from 250 
mV?Go to step 5.Go to step 3.
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM and 
rear oxygen sensor.
3) Measure the resistance in harness 
between ECM and rear oxygen sensor con-
nector.
Connector & terminal
(B135) No. 14 — (T6) No. 4:
(B135) No. 19 — (T6) No. 3:Is the resistance more than 3 
Ω?Repair open circuit 
in harness 
between ECM and 
rear oxygen sen-
sor connector.Go to step 4.
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN REAR OXY-
GEN SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from rear oxygen 
sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between rear oxygen 
sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(T6) No. 4 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage 0.2 — 0.5 V? Replace the rear 
oxygen sensor. 
FU(H4SO)-40, 
Front Oxygen (A/
F) Sensor.>Repair harness 
and connector.
NOTE:
In this case repair
the following:
 Open circuit in 
harness between 
rear oxygen sen-
sor and ECM con-
nector
 Poor contact in 
rear oxygen sen-
sor connector
 Poor contact in 
ECM connector.

vant DTC using 
“List of Diagnostic 
Trouble Code 
(DTC)”.

OTE:
In this case, it is not
necessary to in-
spect DTC P0420.Go to step 2.
2 CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM.
Check for gas leaks or air suction caused by 
loose or dislocated nuts and bolts, and open 
hole at exhaust pipes.
NOTE:
Check the following positions.
 Between cylinder head and front exhaust 
pipe
 Between front exhaust pipe and front cata-
lytic converter
 Between front catalytic converter and rear 
catalytic converterIs there a fault in exhaust sys-
tem?Repair or replace 
the exhaust sys-
tem.

front face of catalytic con-
ver ter?Replace catalytic 
converter.

Front Catalytic 
Converter.>Go to step 4.
4 CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT 
MALFUNCTION.
1) Disconnect the connector from rear oxygen 
sensor and ECM.
2) Measure the resistance between rear oxy-
gen sensor connector and ECM connector.
