| STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start the engine.
2) Read the value of «Coolant Temp.» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.
NOTE:
• Subaru Select Monitor
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">
• General scan tool
For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.
Is the value of «Coolant Temp.» 120°C (248°F) or more?

Even if DTC is detected, 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 HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Disconnect the connectors from the engine coolant temperature sensor.
4) Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B134) No. 30 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor">
Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the open or short circuit of the engine coolant temperature sensor.
Judge as NG if out of specification.
