NO: Go to step 11BM7.

11BM7: 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.

11BM8: CHECK DTC P0705 ON DISPLAY.

Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground in selector lever except for "N" and "P" positions.

CHECK: Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.5 Volt?

YES: Go to step 11BM11.

NO: Go to step 11BM12.

11BM11: 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.

11BM12: CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.

Connector & terminal (B135) No.26 (+) - Chassis ground (-):




Measure voltage between ECM and chassis ground.
