DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from TCM and transmission.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B55) No. 5 - (B11) No. 17: 

 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 and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal 
(B55) No. 21 - (B11) No. 18: 		 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 3.  Repair the open circuit in harness between TCM and transmission connector, and poor contact in coupling connector.
3 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. 
Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal 
(B55) No. 21 - Chassis ground: 		 Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 4.  Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and transmission connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. 
Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector.
Connector & terminal 
(B55) No. 5 - Chassis ground: 		 Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 5.  Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and transmission connector, and poor contact in coupling connector.
5 CHECK FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR. 
Measure the resistance between transmission connector receptacle's terminals.
Connector & terminal 
(T4) No. 17 - No. 18: 		 Is the resistance 450 - 650 Ω? Go to step 6.  Replace the front vehicle speed sensor. < Ref. to FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR . >
6 PREPARE OSCILLOSCOPE.  Do you have an oscilloscope? Go to step 9.  Go to step 7. 
7 PREPARE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.  Do you have a Subaru Select Monitor? Go to step 10.  Go to step 8. 
8 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 
  1. Connect all connectors.
  2. Lift-up or raise the vehicle and place safety stands.
    NOTE: Raise all wheels off floor.
  3. Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH) condition.
    NOTE: The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this indicates no malfunction. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics system. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
  4. Measure the voltage between TCM connector terminals.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B55) No. 5 (+) - (BBS) No. 21 (-): 

 Is the voltage more than AC 1 V? Even if the AT OIL TEMP warning light blinks, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in the front vehicle speed sensor circuit. Go to step 11. 
9 CHECK FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR USING OSCILLOSCOPE. 
  1. Connect all connectors.
  2. Lift-up the vehicle and place safety stand.
    NOTE: Raise all wheels off ground.
  3. Set the oscilloscope to TCM connector terminals.

    Connector & terminal 

    Positive probe; (B55) No. 5: 

    Ground lead; (B55) No. 21: 

  4. Start the engine, and drive the wheels slowly.
    NOTE: The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this indicates no malfunctions. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of self-diagnosis system. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
  5. Measure the signal voltage indicated on oscilloscope.
 Is the voltage more than AC 4 V? Even if the AT OIL TEMP warning light blinks, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in front vehicle speed sensor circuit. Go to step 11. 
10 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. 
  1. Connect all connectors.
  2. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  3. Lift-up or raise the vehicle and place safety stands.
    NOTE: Raise all wheels off floor.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
  5. Start the engine.
  6. Read the data of vehicle speed using Subaru Select Monitor.
    • Compare the speedometer with Subaru Select Monitor indications.
    • Vehicle speed is indicated in "km/h" or "MPH".
  7. Slowly increase the vehicle speed to 60 km/h or 37 MPH.
    NOTE: The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this indicates no malfunction. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics system. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
 Does the speedometer indication increase as Subaru Select Monitor data increases? Even if the AT OIL TEMP warning light blinks, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. A temporary poor connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in front vehicle speed sensor circuit. Go to step 11. 
11 CHECK POOR CONTACT.  Is there poor contact in front vehicle speed sensor circuit? Repair the poor contact. Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
