10J1CHECK DTC P0122 OR P0123 ON DIS-
PLAY.
: Does the Subaru select monitor or OBD-II
general scan tool indicate DTC P0122 or
P0123?
: Inspect DTC P0122 or P0123 using“10. Diagnos-
tics Chart with Trouble Code”. <Ref. to 2-7
[T10A0].>
NOTE:
In this case, it is not necessary to inspect DTC P0121.
: Replace throttle position sensor.

10K1CONNECT SUBARU SELECT MONITOR
OR THE OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL,
AND READ DATA.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.

5) Read data on Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general
scan tool.

Subaru Select Monitor
Designate mode using function key.
Function mode: F07

F07: Throttle position sensor output signal is indicated.
: Is the value less than 0.1 V in function
mode F07?
: Go to step10G2.
: Even if MIL lights up, the circuit has returned to a
normal condition at this time. A temporary poor
contact of the connector may be the cause.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

Poor contact in throttle position sensor connector

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact in coupling connector (B21)

OBD-II general scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the OBD-II Gen-
eral Scan Tool Instruction Manual.

10K2CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
(USING VOLTAGE METER AND SUBARU
SELECT MONITOR.)
1) Measure voltage between ECM connector and chassis
ground while throttle valve is fully closed.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 21 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage more than 4.5 V?
: Go to next step 2).
: Go to next.
: Does the voltage change more than 4.5 V by
shaking harness and connector of ECM
while monitoring the value with voltage
meter?
: Repair poor contact in ECM connector.
: Contact with SOA service.
NOTE:
Inspection by DTM is required, because probable cause is
deterioration of multiple parts.
B2M0542A
2) Measure voltage between ECM connector and chassis
ground.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 6 (+)—Chassis ground ():
Is the voltage less than 0.1 V?
: Go to step10K3.
: Go to next.
B2M0482
: Does the voltage change more than 0.1 V by
shaking harness and connector of ECM
while monitoring the value with Subaru
select monitor?
: Repair poor contact in ECM connector.
: Go to step10K3.

10K3CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CON-
NECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connectors from throttle position sensor.
3) Turn ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure voltage between throttle position sensor con-
nector and engine ground.
: Connector & terminal
(E13) No. 3 (+)—Engine ground ():
Is the voltage more than 4.5 V?
: Go to next step 5).
: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

Open circuit in harness between throttle position sensor
and ECM connector

Poor contact in throttle position sensor connector

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact in coupling connector (B21)
B2M0543A
5) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
6) Measure resistance of harness between ECM connec-
tor and throttle position sensor connector.
: Connector & terminal
(B84) No. 6—(E13) No. 2:
Is the resistance less than 1Ω?
: Go to next step 7).
: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:

Open circuit in harness between throttle position sensor
and ECM connector

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact in throttle position sensor connector

Poor contact in coupling connector (B21)

tion sensor connector and engine ground.
: Connector & terminal
(E13) No. 2—Engine ground:
Is the resistance less than 10Ω?
: Repair ground short circuit in harness between
throttle position sensor and ECM connector.
: Go to next.
