DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the fuel filler cap.
  3. Install the fuel filler cap.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  5. Read the data of fuel tank pressure sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE: Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to "READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE". < Ref. to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . >
Is the measured value less than -2.8 kPa (-21.0 mmHg, -0.827 inHg)? Go to step 2.  Even if the malfunction indicator light illuminates, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time.
2 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B135) No. 22 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage more than 4.5 V? Go to step 4.  Go to step 3. 
3 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B135) No. 22 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Does the voltage change by shaking the ECM harness and connector? Repair the poor contact of ECM connector. Contact the SOA service center.
4 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM. 
Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B135) No. 32 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage less than 0.2 V? Go to step 6.  Go to step 5. 
5 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM (USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR). 
Read the data of fuel tank pressure sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE: Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to "READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE". < Ref. to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . >
Does the measured value change by shaking the ECM harness and connector? Repair the poor contact of ECM connector. Go to step 6. 
6 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the rear seat cushion.
  3. Disconnect the connector (R15) and (R57).
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  5. Measure the voltage between the rear wiring harness connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (R15) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage more than 4.5 V? Go to step 7.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit of harness between ECM and rear wiring harness connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
7 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and connector (R15).

    Connector & terminal 

    (B135) No. 30 - (R15) No. 4: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 8.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit of harness between ECM and rear wiring harness connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
  • Poor contact of joint connector
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR. 
Measure the resistance of harness between connector (R15) and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(R15) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 9.  Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM and rear wiring harness connector.
9 CHECK FUEL TANK HARNESS. 
  1. Disconnect the connector from fuel tank pressure sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance of fuel tank harness.

    Connector & terminal 

    (R213) No. 7 - (R47) No. 3: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 10  . Repair the open circuit in fuel tank cord.
10 CHECK FUEL TANK HARNESS. 
Measure the resistance of fuel tank harness.
Connector & terminal 
(R213) No. 4 - (R47) No. 1: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 11  . Repair the open circuit in fuel tank cord.
11 CHECK FUEL TANK HARNESS. 
Measure the resistance of harness between fuel tank pressure sensor connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal 
(R47) No. 2 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 12  . Repair the ground short circuit of fuel tank cord.
12 CHECK POOR CONTACT. 
Check poor contact in fuel tank pressure sensor connector.
Is there poor contact in fuel tank pressure sensor connector? Repair the poor contact in fuel tank pressure sensor connector. Replace the fuel tank pressure sensor. < Ref. to FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR . >
