WIRING DIAGRAM

10BO1: 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 V in neutral position?

YES: Go to step 10BO2.

NO: Go to step 10BO4.

10BO2: 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 V in other positions?

YES: Go to step 10BO3.

NO: Go to step 10BO4.

10BO3: 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.

10BO4: CHECK NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect connector from transmission harness.

Connector & Terminal - [(T2) No.1 - No.2]:





3. Measure resistance between transmission harness and connector terminals.

CHECK: Is the resistance more than 1 Ohms in neutral position?

YES: Go to step 10BO5.

NO: Repair short circuit in transmission harness or replace neutral position switch.

10BO5: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH CONNECTOR.

Connector & Terminal - [(B135) No.26 - Chassis Ground]:





Measure resistance between ECM and chassis ground.

CHECK: Is the resistance less than 10 Ohms?

YES: Repair ground short circuit in harness between ECM and transmission harness connector.

NO: Go to step 10BO6.

10BO6: 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.
