1.CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F), and keep the engine speed at 3,000 rpm. (2 minutes maximum)
2) Read the data of rear oxygen sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor or general scan tool.
NOTE:
• Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”. 
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.
|
Is the voltage 490 mV or more?
|
|
|
2.CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR DATA.
1) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F), and rapidly reduce the engine speed from 3,000 rpm.
2) Read the data of rear oxygen sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor or general scan tool.
NOTE:
• Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”.
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.
|
Is the voltage 250 mV or less?
|
|
|
3.CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR AND COUPLING CONNECTOR.
|
Has water entered the connector?
|
Completely remove any water inside.
|
|
4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM and rear oxygen sensor.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.
Connector & terminal
(B135) No. 4 — (E22) No. 3:
(B134) No. 29 — (E22) No. 4:
|
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?
|
|
Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM and rear oxygen sensor connector.
|
5.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from rear oxygen sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between rear oxygen sensor connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(E22) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
|
Is the voltage 0.2 — 0.5 V?
|
Replace the rear oxygen sensor.
|
Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit of harness between the ECM and rear oxygen sensor
• Poor contact of the rear oxygen sensor connector
• Poor contact in ECM connector
|
6.CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM.
Check exhaust system parts.
NOTE:
Check the following items.
• Loose part and improper installation of exhaust system
• Damage (crack, hole etc.) of parts
• Loose part and improper installation between front oxygen (A/F) sensor and rear oxygen sensor
|
Is there any fault in exhaust system?
|
Repair or replace faulty parts.
|
Replace the rear oxygen sensor.
|
