No. 2 — No. 3:Is the resistance 0.15 — 0.63
kΩ?Go to step 13.Replace the accel-
erator pedal posi-
tion sensor.
13 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
TCM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSI-
TION SENSOR.
1) Disconnect the connector from TCM.
2) Measure the resistance of harness
between TCM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B55) No. 19 — Chassis ground:Is the resistance more than 1
MΩ?Go to step 14.Repair the short
circuit in harness
between TCM and
accelerator pedal
position sensor
connector.
14 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSI-
TION SENSOR.
1) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
2) Measure the resistance of harness
between ECM connector and accelerator pedal
position sensor connector.
Connector & terminal
(E13) No. 2 — (B135) No. 19:Is the resistance less than 1
Ω?Go to step 15.Repair the short
circuit in harness
between ECM and
accelerator pedal
position sensor.
15 PREPARE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.Do you have a Subaru Select
Monitor?Go to step 17.Go to step 16. Step Check Yes No
