CHECK DATA MONITOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the value of [Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature Sensor A (B1-S1)] of the data monitor.
  NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Common (Diagnostics)". Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>DATA MONITOR .
  
  Is the value of [Exhaust Gas Recirculation Temperature Sensor A (B1-S1)] 255[°C] (491°F) or more?
  
  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 again.
  
  NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary short circuit of harness may be the cause.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connector from EGR temperature sensor.
4. Measure the resistance between the ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E158) No. 31 - Engine ground:
  
  Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?
  
  Yes: Replace the EGR temperature sensor. Ref. to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (H4DO (HEV))>EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR .
  
  No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and EGR temperature sensor connector.
