DTC P0102 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step	Check	Yes	No
1. CONNECT SUBARU SELECT MONITOR OR THE OBD-II GENERAL SCAN TOOL, AND READ DATA. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool to data link connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON and Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool switch to ON. Start the engine. Read the mass air flow sensor voltage 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 within 0.2 to 4.7 V?	Even if malfunction indicator light lights up, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of the connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in the mass air flow sensor. NOTE: In this case, repair the following: Open or ground short circuit in harness between mass air flow sensor and ECM connector Poor contact in mass air flow sensor or ECM connector	Go to step 2.
2. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground while engine is idling. Connector & terminal (B136) No. 23 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the measured value less than 0.2 V?	Go to step 4 .	Go to step 3 .
3. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM (USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR). Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground while engine is idling.	Shake the ECM harness and connector, while monitoring value of Subaru Select Monitor. Does the voltage change?	Repair the poor contact in ECM connector.	Contact your SOA Service Center.
4. CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from mass air flow sensor. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between mass air flow sensor connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B3) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage more than 5 V?	Go to step 5 .	Repair the open circuit between mass air flow sensor and main relay.
5. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and mass air flow sensor connector. Connector & terminal (B136) No. 23 - (B3) No. 3: (B136) No. 31 - (B3) No. 2: (B136) No. 35 - (B3) No. 5:	Is the measured value less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 6.	Repair the open circuit between ECM and mass air flow sensor connector.
6. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CONNECTOR Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B136) No. 23 - Chassis ground: (B136) No. 31 - Chassis ground: (B136) No. 35 - Chassis ground:	Is the measured value more than 1 M Ω?	Go to step 7.	Repair the ground short circuit between ECM and mass air flow sensor connector.
7. CHECK POOR CONTACT Check poor contact in mass air flow sensor connector.	Is there poor contact in mass air flow sensor connector?	Repair the poor contact in mass air flow sensor connector.	Replace the mass air flow and intake air temperature sensor. < Ref. to MASS AIR FLOW AND INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR . >
