Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
| Step | Check | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
|
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? | Go to step 2 . | Repair the open circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector. |
| 2 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of the harness connector between TCM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B55) No. 5 - Chassis ground: |
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? | Go to step 3 . | Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector. |
| 3 CHECK TRANSFER DUTY SOLENOID. Measure the resistance between transmission connector terminals. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 8 - No. 20: |
Is the resistance 2.0 - 6.0 Ω? | Go to step 4 . | Go to step 7 . |
4 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM.
|
Is the value approx. 5%? | Go to step 5 . | Go to step 6 . |
5 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM.
|
Is the measured value approx. 18 - 35%? | Check the harnesses or connectors between TCM and transmission, and repair the defective part. | Go to step 6 . |
| 6 CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT. | Is there poor contact of transfer duty solenoid circuit? | Repair the poor contact. | Replace the TCM. < Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . > |
7 CHECK TRANSFER DUTY SOLENOID (IN TRANSMISSION).
|
Is the resistance 2.0 - 6.0 Ω? | Go to step 8 . | Replace the control valve body. < Refer to CONTROL VALVE BODY . > |
| 8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TRANSFER DUTY SOLENOID AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of harness between transfer duty solenoid and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 8 - (AT2) No. 7: |
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? | Go to step 9 . | Repair the open circuit of harness between transfer duty solenoid and transmission connector. |
| 9 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TRANSFER DUTY SOLENOID AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of harness between transmission connector and transmission ground. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 8 - Transmission ground: |
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? | Check the connectors and harnesses between transfer duty solenoid and transmission for poor contact, and repair the defective part. | Repair short circuit of the harness between the transfer duty solenoid and transmission connector. |
