1.CHECK CONNECTOR.

1) Check the connecting conditions of combination meter connector and ambient sensor connector.

2) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">

Is B1432 displayed?

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER)">Go to Step 2.

Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

NOTE:

In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.

2.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.

1) Disconnect the ambient sensor.

2) Short the connector F78.

3) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">

Is B1433 displayed?

Replace the ambient sensor. Ambient Sensor > REMOVAL">

3.CHECK HARNESS.

1) Restore the temporary shorted lines made in step 2.

2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3) Using the tester, measure the voltage between terminals.

Connector & terminal

(F78) No. 1 (+) — No. 2 (−):

Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.0 V?
