(B54) No. 8 — (B220) No. 15:
(B54) No. 24 — (B220) No. 15:
(B54) No. 40 — (B220) No. 15:
Is the resistance less than 1 ??
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 2.
Repair the open circuit of harness.
2.CHECK HARNESS.
Measure the resistance between TCM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B54) No. 25 — Chassis ground:
(B54) No. 8 — Chassis ground:
(B54) No. 24 — Chassis ground:
(B54) No. 40 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 3.
Repair the short circuit of harness.
3.CHECK RELAY POWER SUPPLY.
Measure the voltage between relay holder and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B220) No. 14 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
(B220) No. 17 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
Is the voltage 11 — 13 V or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 4.
Repair the open or short circuit of harness.
4.CHECK SELF SHUT RELAY.
Measure the resistance between self shut relay terminals.
Terminals
No. 16 — No. 17:
Is the resistance 110 — 140 ??
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 5.
Replace the self shut relay.
5.CHECK SELF SHUT RELAY.
Measure the resistance between self shut relay terminals.
Terminals
No. 14 — No. 15:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 6.
Replace the self shut relay.
6.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.
1) Connect the TCM connector.
2) Install the self shut relay.
3) Read the data of «Control module voltage» using Subaru Select Monitor.
Is the «Control module voltage» 10 V or more?
Current condition is normal. Check for poor contact in connectors or harnesses, and repair the defective part.
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0890 TCM POWER RELAY SENSE CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 7.
7.CHECK SELF SHUT RELAY.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Replace the self shut relay.
3) Perform the Clear Memory Mode. Clear Memory Mode">
4) Read the DTC.
Is DTC P0890 displayed?
Replace the TCM. Transmission Control Module (TCM)">
The original self shut relay is defective.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
• Detect the malfunction of transmission fluid pressure solenoid drive power supply relay circuit.
• Judge as NG if the transmission fluid pressure solenoid drive power supply voltage is lower than the predetermined value.
2. EXECUTION CONDITION
Secondary Parameters | Execution condition |
12 V battery system voltage | ≥ 9 V |
Ignition state | Run or Crank |
3. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.
Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
Measured TCM input voltage which is supplied from 12 V battery system through the TCM Power Relay | < 2 V |
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 0.5 seconds
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
