1.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Read the data of main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor.

NOTE:

For detailed operation procedure, refer to “READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”.

Is the voltage 0.4 V or more?

2.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Read the data of main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal using Subaru Select Monitor.

NOTE:

For detailed operation procedure, refer to “READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE”.

Is the voltage less than 4.8 V?

3.CHECK POOR CONTACT.

Check poor contact of connector between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor.

Is there poor contact?

Repair the poor contact.

Temporary poor contact occurred, but it is normal at present.

4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connectors from the ECM.

3) Disconnect the connectors from accelerator pedal position sensor.

4) Measure the resistance between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
