WIRING DIAGRAM
11BV1: CHECK TRANSMISSION TYPE.
CHECK: Is transmission type MT?
YES: Go to step 11BV2.
NO: Go to step 11BV9.
11BV2: CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
2. Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
CHECK: Is the voltage more than 10 Volt in neutral position?
YES: Go to step 11BV3.
NO: Go to step 11BV5.
11BV3: CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
CHECK: Is the voltage less than 1 Volt in other positions?
YES: Go to step 11BV4.
NO: Go to step 11BV6.
11BV4: CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.
CHECK: Is there poor contact in ECM connector?
YES: Repair poor contact in ECM connector.
NO: Contact with Subaru of America (SOA) service.
NOTE: Inspection by Subaru of America's DTM is required, because probable cause is deterioration of multiple parts.
11BV5: CHECK NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH.
Connector & terminal (T2) No.1 - No.2:
Measure resistance between transmission harness connector terminals.
CHECK: Is the resistance less than 1 ohm in other positions?
YES: Go to step 11BV6.
NO: Repair open circuit in transmission harness or replace neutral position switch.
11BV6: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH CONNECTOR.
1. Disconnect connector from ECM.
Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 - (B25) No.1:
2. Measure resistance of harness between ECM and transmission harness connector.
CHECK: Is the resistance less than 1 ohm?
YES: Go to step 11BV7.
NO: Repair open circuit in harness between ECM and transmission harness connector.
11BV7: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH CONNECTOR.
Connector & terminal (B25) No.2 - Engine ground:
Measure resistance of harness between transmission harness connector and engine ground.
CHECK: Is the resistance less than 5 ohm?
YES: Go to step 11BV8.
NO: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
- Open circuit in harness between transmission harness connector and engine grounding terminal.
- Poor contact in coupling connector (B22).
11BV8: CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in transmission harness connector.
CHECK: Is there poor contact in transmission harness connector?
YES: Repair poor contact in transmission harness connector.
NO: Contact with Subaru of America (SOA) service.
NOTE: Inspection by Subaru of America's DTM is required, because probable cause is deterioration of multiple parts.
11BV9: CHECK DTC P0705 ON DISPLAY.
CHECK: Does the Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool indicate DTC P0705?
YES: Inspect DTC P0705 using "11. Diagnostics Chart with Trouble Code for 2500 cc Models".
NO: Go to step 11BV10.
11BV10: CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
2. Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
CHECK: Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.5 Volt at except "N" and "P" positions?
YES: Even if MIL lights up, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time.
NO: Go to step 11BV11.
11BV11: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TRANSMISSION HARNESS CONNECTOR.
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect connectors from ECM and transmission harness connector (T3).
Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
3. Measure resistance of harness between ECM connector and chassis ground.
CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 ohm?
YES: Repair ground short circuit in harness between ECM and transmission harness connector.
NO: Go to step 11BV12.
11BV12: CHECK TRANSMISSION HARNESS CONNECTOR.
1. Disconnect connector from inhibitor switch.
Connector & terminal (T3) No.12 - Engine ground:
2. Measure resistance of harness between transmission harness connector and engine ground.
CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 ohm?
YES: Repair ground short circuit in harness between transmission harness and inhibitor switch connector.
NO: Go to step 11BV13.
11BV13: CHECK INHIBITOR SWITCH.
Terminals No.7 - No.12:
Measure resistance between inhibitor switch connector receptacle's terminals in selector lever except for "N" position.
CHECK: Is the resistance more than 1 M.Ohm at except "N" and "P" positions?
YES: Go to step 11BV14.
NO: Replace inhibitor switch.
11BV14: CHECK SELECTOR CABLE CONNECTION.
CHECK: Is there any fault in selector cable connection to inhibitor switch?
YES: Repair selector cable connection.
NO: Contact with Subaru of America (SOA) service.
NOTE: Inspection by Subaru of America's DTM is required, because probable cause is deterioration of multiple parts.
