DTC P0753 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step	CHECK	Yes	No
1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from TCM and transmission. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 9 - (B11) No. 4:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 2 .	Repair the open circuit in harness between TCM and transmission connector.
2 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 9 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?	Go to step 3 .	Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and transmission connector.
3 CHECK LOW CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID. Measure the resistance between transmission connector terminals. Connector & terminal (74) No. 4 - No. 20:	Is the resistance 2.0 - 6.0 Ω?	Go to step 4 .	Go to step 7 .
4 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL EMITTED FROM TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Connect the connectors to TCM and transmission. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector. Start the engine, and turn the Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON. Warm-up the transmission until the ATF temperature exceed approx. 80°C (176°F). NOTE: If the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F), drive the vehicle until ATF reaches its operating temperature. Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF). Shift the select lever to "P" or "N" range, and depress the accelerator pedal. Read the data of "Low Clutch duty Ratio" using Subaru Select Monitor. Low clutch duty solenoid is indicated in "%".	Is the value 100%?	Go to step 5 .	Go to step 6 .
5 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL EMITTED FROM TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF). Shift the select lever to "D" range. Read the data of "Low Clutch duty Ratio".	Is the value 0%?	Even if the SPORT indicator light is blinking, the circuit has returned to normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in transmission.	Go to step 6 .
6 CHECK POOR CONTACT.	Is there poor contact in low clutch duty solenoid circuit?	Repair the poor contact.	Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
7 CHECK LOW CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID (IN TRANSMISSION). Remove the transmission connector from bracket. Drain the ATF. CAUTION: Do not drain the ATF until it cools down. Remove the oil pan, and disconnect the connector from control valve body. Measure the resistance between low clutch duty solenoid connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (AT3) No. 2 - Transmission ground:	Is the resistance 2.0 - 6.0 Ω?	Go to step 8 .	Replace the control valve body. < Ref. to CONTROL VALVE BODY . >
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TRANSMISSION AND LOW CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID. Measure the resistance of harness between low clutch duty solenoid and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 4 - (AT3) No. 2:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 9 .	Repair the open circuit in harness between low clutch duty solenoid and transmission connector.
9 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TRANSMISSION AND LOW CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID. Measure the resistance of harness between transmission connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 4 - Transmission ground:	Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?	Even if the SPORT indicator light is blinking, the circuit has returned to normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in low clutch duty solenoid and transmission.	Repair the short circuit of harness between low clutch duty solenoid and transmission connector.
