1.CHECK CURRENT DATA.
1) Start the engine.
2) Read the value of «Oil Temperature» using Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE:
For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">
Is the value of «Oil Temperature» 150°C (302°F) or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0197 ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT LOW">Go to Step 2.
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 OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Disconnect the connectors from the engine oil temperature sensor.
4) Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B134) No. 20 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Replace the engine oil temperature sensor. Engine Oil Temperature Sensor">
Repair the short circuit to ground in the harness between the ECM connector and engine oil temperature sensor connector.
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the open or short circuit of the oil temperature sensor.
Judge as NG when outside of the judgment value.
2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
