Check the fuel pump and fuel delivery line. Fuel Pump > INSPECTION"> Fuel Delivery and Evaporation Lines > INSPECTION">
4.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Start the engine and warm up completely.
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.» 75°C (167°F) or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0172 SYSTEM TOO RICH BANK 1">Go to Step 5.
Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor">
5.CHECK MASS AIR FLOW AND INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Start the engine and warm up engine until coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F).
2) For CVT models, set the select lever to “P” range or “N” range, and for MT models, place the gear shift lever in the neutral position.
3) Turn the A/C switch to OFF.
4) Turn all the accessory switches to OFF.
5) Read the value of «Mass Air Flow» 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 «Mass Air Flow» 2.0 — 5.0 g/s (0.26 — 0.66 lb/m)?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0172 SYSTEM TOO RICH BANK 1">Go to Step 6.
Replace the mass air flow and intake air temperature sensor. Mass Air Flow and Intake Air Temperature Sensor">
6.CHECK MASS AIR FLOW AND INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
1) Start the engine and warm up engine until coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F).
2) For CVT models, set the select lever to “P” range or “N” range, and for MT models, place the gear shift lever in the neutral position.
3) Turn the A/C switch to OFF.
4) Turn all the accessory switches to OFF.
5) Open the front hood.
6) Measure the ambient temperature.
7) Read the value of «Intake Air 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.
Subtract ambient temperature from «Intake Air Temp.». Is the obtained value −10 — 50°C (−18 — 90°F)?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0172 SYSTEM TOO RICH BANK 1">Go to Step 7.
Check the mass air flow and intake air temperature sensor. Mass Air Flow and Intake Air Temperature Sensor">
7.CHECK PCV VALVE.
Check the PCV valve.
Check that the PCV valve has no deformation, cracks or other damages.
Repair or replace the PCV valve.
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0172 SYSTEM TOO RICH BANK 1">Go to Step 8.
8.CHECK PCV HOSE.
Check the PCV hose.
Check the PCV hose assembly for cracks, damage or looseness.
Repair or replace the PCV hose.
Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect fuel system malfunction by the amount of main feedback control.
2. EXECUTION CONDITION
Secondary parameters | Execution condition |
Main feedback | In operation |
3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Perform the diagnosis continuously during the closed loop.
4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
Compare the diagnostic value with the threshold value, and if a condition meeting the malfunction criteria listed below continues for 10 s ? 3 time(s) or more, judge that there is a fault in the fuel system.
Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
Offset amount of main feedback compensation | < Value from Map |
Warm-up increase compensation coefficient | 0 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 |
Threshold Value | 0.67 | 0.572 | 0.494 | 0.432 |
Warm-up increase compensation coefficient | 0.35 | 0.6 |
Threshold Value | 0.401 | 0.401 |
Time needed for diagnosis: 10 s ? 3 time(s)
Malfunction indicator light illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
