No: Go to 6.
CHECK STARTER RELAY .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Remove the starter relay.
3. Measure the resistance between starter relay terminals.
  Terminals
  
  No. 1 - No. 3:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Replace the starter relay.

No: Go to 3.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN STARTER RELAY AND ECM CONNECTOR .
1. Disconnect the ECM connector.
2. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 2 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 4.

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between starter relay and ECM connector.
CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF ECM .
1. Install the starter relay.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the voltage 12 V or more?

Yes: Go to 5.

No: Check for poor contact of ECM connector. Replace the ECM if no fault is found. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN STARTER RELAY AND STARTER CUT RELAY AND ECM CONNECTOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 45 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Check for poor contact of ECM connector. Replace the ECM if no fault is found. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between starter relay or starter cut relay and ECM connector.
CHECK DATA MONITOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Read the data of [Starter Relay Diagnosis A/D Value] in [Engine] using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.5)>DATA MONITOR . Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.0 (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>DATA MONITOR .
Is [Starter Relay Diagnosis A/D Value] 10 V or more?

Yes: Go to 7.

No: Go to 11.
CHECK STARTER CUT RELAY .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Remove the starter cut relay.
3. Measure the resistance between starter cut relay terminals.
  Terminals
  
  No. 1 - No. 3:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Replace the starter cut relay.

No: Go to 8.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN STARTER RELAY AND ECM CONNECTOR .
1. Disconnect the ECM connector.
2. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 24 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 9.

No: Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between starter cut relay and ECM connector.
CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF ECM .
1. Install the starter cut relay.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 24 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the voltage 12 V or more?

Yes: Go to 10.

No: Check for poor contact of ECM connector. Replace the ECM if no fault is found. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN STARTER RELAY AND STARTER CUT RELAY AND ECM CONNECTOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector and terminal
  
  (B134) No. 45 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the voltage 12 V or more?

Yes: Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness between starter relay or starter cut relay and ECM connector.

No: Check for poor contact of ECM connector. Replace the ECM if no fault is found. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .
CHECK DATA MONITOR .
1. Connect the ECM connector.
2. Read the data of [Starter Relay Diagnosis A/D Value] in [Engine] using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.5)>DATA MONITOR . Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO 2.0 (EXCEPT FOR HEV))>DATA MONITOR .
  NOTE: Read the data from Ignition switch ON to Engine being started.
Does the [Starter Relay Diagnosis A/D Value] exceed 10 V?

Yes: 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.

No: Go to 12.
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN M/B AND ECM CONNECTOR .
