1.CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Read the value of «Atmosphere Pressure» 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 in «Atmosphere Pressure» 125 kPa (938 mmHg, 36.9 inHg) 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 LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Disconnect the connector from the leak check valve assembly.
4) Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and the leak check valve assembly connector.
Connector & terminal
(B135) No. 20 — (R400) No. 7:
(B135) No. 30 — (R400) No. 8:
Is the resistance less than 1 ??

Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and the leak check valve assembly connector
• Poor contact of coupling connector
• Poor contact of joint connector
3.CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.
Check for poor contact of ECM and the leak check valve assembly connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM and the leak check valve assembly connector?
Repair the poor contact of ECM and the leak check valve assembly connector.
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0453 EVAP SYSTEM (CPC) PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH CIRCUIT HIGH">Go to Step 4.
4.CHECK LEAK CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY.
Check the pressure sensor of the leak check valve assembly. Leak Check Valve Assembly > INSPECTION">
Is the check result OK?
Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and leak check valve assembly connector.
Replace the leak check valve assembly. Leak Check Valve Assembly">
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
