P0136
Q: DTC P0136 - REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTIONDTC DETECTING CONDITION:
- Two consecutive driving cycles with fault.
CAUTION: After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct CLEAR MEMORY MODE and INSPECTION MODE. Refer to How To Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
WIRING DIAGRAM
10Q1: CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.
CHECK: Does the Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool indicate DTC P0130?
YES: Go to step 10Q2.
NO: Go to step 10Q3.
10Q2: CHECK FAILURE CAUSE OF P0130.
Inspect DTC P0130 using "10. Diagnostics Chart with Trouble Code". P0130
CHECK: Is the failure cause of P0130 in the fuel system?
NO: Check fuel system.
NOTE:
In this case, it is not necessary to inspect DTC P0136.
NO: Go to step 10Q3.
10Q3: CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool to data link connector.
3) Start the engine, and turn Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool switch to ON.
4) Warm-up the engine until engine coolant temperature is above 70°C (160°F), and keep the engine speed at 2,000 rpm to 3,000 rpm for two minutes.
5) Read data of rear oxygen sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II general scan tool.
NOTE:
- Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedure, refer to the "READ CURRENT DATA SHOWN ON DISPLAY FOR ENGINE".
- OBD-II general scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the OBD-II General Scan Tool Instruction Manual.
CHECK: Does the value fluctuate?
YES: Go to step 10Q7.
NO: Go to step 10Q4.
10Q4: CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
Read data of rear oxygen sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor or OBD-II General Scan Tool.
CHECK: Is the value fixed between 0.2 and 0.4 V?
YES: Go to step 10Q5.
NO: Replace rear oxygen sensor.
10Q5: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connectors from ECM and rear oxygen sensor.
Connector & Terminal (B136) No.16 - (E25) No.3:
3) Measure resistance of harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.
CHECK: Is the resistance more than 3 Ohms?
YES: Repair open circuit in harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.
NO: Go to step 10Q6.
1006: CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN REAR OXYGEN SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from rear oxygen sensor.
3) Turn ignition switch to ON.
Connector & Terminal (E25) No.4 (+) - Engine Ground:
4) Measure voltage between rear oxygen sensor harness connector and engine ground or chassis ground.
CHECK: Is the voltage more than 0.2 V?
YES: Replace rear oxygen sensor.
NO: Repair harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following:
- Open circuit in harness between rear oxygen sensor and ECM connector
- Poor contact in rear oxygen sensor connector
- Poor contact in ECM connector
10Q7: CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM.
Check exhaust system parts
NOTE:
Check the following items.
- Loose installation of portions
- Damage (crack, hole etc.) of parts
- Looseness and ill fitting of parts between front oxygen sensor and rear oxygen sensor
CHECK: Is there a fault in exhaust system?
YES: Repair or replace faulty parts.
NO: Replace rear oxygen sensor.
