DTC P2016 TGV Position Sensor/Switch Circuit Low Bank 1: Notes

DTC detecting condition:

Immediately at fault recognition

Trouble symptom:

Improper idling
Engine stalls.
Poor driving performance

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Clear Memory Mode . and Inspection Mode Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Inspection Mode .
Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance.

CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1. Start the engine.
2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the value in [TGV Position Sensor R].
  NOTE: For detailed procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>Subaru Select Monitor .
  
  Is the value of [TGV Position Sensor R] less than 0.2 V?
  - Yes : Go to 2.
  - No : Even if DTC is detected, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis.
    NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR RH.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from tumble generator valve actuator RH.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Measure the voltage between tumble generator valve actuator RH connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E55) No. 3 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  Is the voltage 4.5 V or more?
  - Yes : Go to 3.
  - No : repair the harness and connector.
    NOTE:
    In this case, repair the following item:
    
    Open circuit in harness between ECM and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector
    
    Poor contact of ECM connector
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR RH CONNECTOR.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E158) No. 40 - (E55) No. 1:
  
  Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?
  - Yes : Go to 4.
  - No : Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR RH CONNECTOR.
Measure the resistance between ECM and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E158) No. 40 - Engine ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?
- Yes : Go to 5.
- No : Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.
Check for poor contact of ECM and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.

Is there poor contact of ECM or the tumble generator valve actuator RH connector?
- Yes : Repair the poor contact of ECM or tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.
- No : Replace the tumble generator valve actuator RH. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>Tumble Generator Valve Assembly .
