DTC P0096 Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1: Notes

DTC detecting condition: 

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

Trouble symptom: 

• Improper idling
• Poor driving performance
  CAUTION: After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Clear Memory Mode>OPERATION . and Inspection Mode Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Inspection Mode>PROCEDURE .

1. CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY. 

   Is any other DTC displayed?

   • No  : Go to 2. 
2. CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Read the value of intake air temperature sensor #12 using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.
      NOTE:

      • Subaru Select Monitor

        For detailed procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Subaru Select Monitor .

      • General scan tool

        For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

3. Read the change of the value in intake air temperature sensor #12 while heating and cooling the manifold absolute pressure and intake air temperature sensor using a hair dryer.
   CAUTION: Do not heat the part to the temperature where you cannot touch it with your bare hand in order to prevent burning yourself and protect the part.

Does the value of intake air temperature sensor #12 change between heating and cooling?

• Yes  : Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
• No  : Replace the manifold absolute pressure and intake air temperature sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>Manifold Absolute Pressure and Intake Air Temperature Sensor .
