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 EVAPORATOR SENSOR.
1) Disconnect the evaporator sensor.
2) Short the evaporator sensor connector (B88).
3) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">
Is B1435 displayed?
