DTC P0051 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1. CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.  Is any other DTC displayed? Go to step 2  . Go to step 4  .
2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from front oxygen (A/F) sensor.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E24) No. 4 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

 Is the measured value more than 10 V? Go to step 3  . Repair power supply line.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
  • Open circuit in harness between main relay and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
  • Poor contact in front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
  • Poor contact in main relay connector
3. CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
  1. Start the engine.
  2. Read the data of front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater current using Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool.
NOTE:
  • Subaru Select Monitor

    For detailed operation procedure, refer to the "READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE". < Ref. to , SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . >

  • OBD-II general scan tool

    For detailed operation procedure, refer to the OBD-II general scan tool instruction manual .

 Is the measured value more than 0.2 A? Repair poor contact in connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
  • Poor contact in front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
  • Poor contact in ECM connector
 Go to step 4. 
4. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM. 
  1. Start and idle the engine.
  2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B134) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

    (B135) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 6  . Go to step 5  .
5. CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM. 
Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B134) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
(B135) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Does the voltage change by shaking the ECM harness and connector? Repair poor contact in ECM connector. Go to step 6  .
6. CHECK FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Measure the resistance between front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 6 - No. 4: 

 Is the measured value less than 10 Ω? Repair harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
  • Open or ground short circuit in harness between front oxygen (A/F) sensor and ECM connector
  • Poor contact in front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
  • Poor contact in ECM connector
 Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. < Ref. to FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR . >
