2) Disconnect the connector from fuel injector 
on faulty cylinders.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between ECM and 
chassis ground on faulty cylinders.

Connector & terminal

#1 (B137) No. 8 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
#2 (B137) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
#3 (B137) No. 10 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
#4 (B137) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (–):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Repair the short 
circuit to power in 
the harness 
between the ECM 
and fuel injector.

Go to step 7.

CHECK FUEL INJECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between fuel injec-
tor terminals on faulty cylinder.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Replace the faulty 

fuel injector. <Ref.

tion condition of 
timing belt. <Ref. to 
ME(H4DOTC)-47, 
Timing Belt.>

Go to step 11.

11

CHECK FUEL LEVEL.

Is the fuel meter indication 
higher than the “Lower” level?

Go to step 12.

Refill the fuel so 
that fuel meter indi-
cation is higher 
than the “Lower” 
level. After replen-
ishing fuel, Go to 
step 12.

12

CHECK STATUS OF MALFUNCTION INDI-
CATOR LIGHT.
1) Clear the memory using the Subaru Select 
Monitor or general scan tool.
<Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-52, Clear Memory 
Mode.>
2) Start the engine, and drive the vehicle 10 
minutes or more.
