Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and 
rear oxygen sensor.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between 
ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 4 — (E23) No. 3:

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Go to step 2.

Repair the harness 
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit in
harness between
ECM and rear oxy-
gen sensor con-
nector
• Poor contact of
coupling connector

2

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
Measure the resistance between rear oxygen 
sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(E23) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 M

: or 

more?

Go to step 3.

Repair the ground 
short circuit of har-
ness between 
ECM and rear oxy-
gen sensor con-
nector.

3

CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between rear oxygen 
sensor terminals.

Terminals

No. 3 — No. 4

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Replace the rear 

oxygen sensor. 
<Ref. to 
FU(H4SO)-37, 
Rear Oxygen Sen-
sor.>

Even if DTC is 
detected, the cir-
cuit has returned to 
a normal condition 
at this time. Repro-
duce the failure, 
and then perform 
the diagnosis 
again.

NOTE:
In this case, tem-
porary poor con-
tact of connector
may be the cause.

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 
temperature is above 75°C (167°F), and keep 
the engine speed at 3,000 rpm. (for up to 2 min-
utes)
2) Read the data of rear oxygen sensor signal 
using Subaru Select Monitor or general scan 
tool.

NOTE:
• SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
For detailed operation procedure, refer to
“READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”. <Ref.
to EN(H4SO)(diag)-33, Subaru Select Moni-
tor.>
• General Scan Tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
general scan tool operation manual.

Is the voltage 490 mV or more? Go to step 6.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 
temperature is above 75°C (167°F), and rapidly 
reduce the engine speed from 3,000 rpm.
2) Read the data of rear oxygen sensor signal 
using Subaru Select Monitor or general scan 
tool.

NOTE:
• SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
For detailed operation procedure, refer to
“READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”. <Ref.
to EN(H4SO)(diag)-33, Subaru Select Moni-
tor.>
• General Scan Tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the
general scan tool operation manual.

Go to step 6.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNEC-
TOR AND COUPLING CONNECTOR.

Has water entered the connec-
tor?

Completely 
remove any water 
inside.

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and 
rear oxygen sensor.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between 
ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.

Connector & terminal

(B135) No. 4 — (E23) No. 3:
(B134) No. 29 — (E23) No. 4:

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Go to step 5.

Repair the harness 
and connector.

NOTE:
In this case, repair
the following item:
• Open circuit in
harness between
ECM and rear oxy-
gen sensor con-
nector
• Poor contact of
coupling connector
