DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK CURRENT DATA. Start the engine. Read the value of «Coolant Temp.» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool. NOTE: Subaru Select Monitor For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Current Data Display For Engine". < Ref. to SUBARU SELECT MONITOR . > General scan tool For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.	Is the value of «Coolant Temp.» 150°C (302°F) or more?	Go to step 2.	Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connectors from ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B137) No. 22 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. < Ref. to ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR . >	Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
