Check Ambient Temperature Meter System Communication Circuit

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR POWER SUPPLY  .
  1. Disconnect the ambient sensor connector.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Measure the voltage between the ambient sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal 
(F78) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 4 V or more? Go to step . Check the harness for open or short between the fuse and MFD.
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY  .
  1. Disconnect the connector of combination meter assembly.
  2. Check harness between ambient sensor and combination meter assembly.

    Connector & terminal 

    (F78) No. 1 - (i10) No. 27: 

    (F78) No. 2 - (i10) No. 36: 

Is harness normal? Go to step . Repair or replace the harness.
3 CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR  .
Check the ambient sensor. Ref. to INSPECTION , Ambient Sensor.
Is the ambient sensor operating properly? Go to step . Replace the ambient sensor.
4 CHECK AMBIENT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY  .
  1. Connect the combination meter assembly connector.
  2. Install the 3 kΩ resistance between connector terminals of the ambient sensor.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    Connector & terminal 

    (F78) No. 1 - No. 2: 

Does the ambient temperature display 25°C (77°F)? Repair the poor contact between the ambient sensor and harness connector. Go to step .
5 CHECK CURRENT DATA  .
Using the Subaru Select Monitor, display the data of «Ambient Air Temperature».
NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Application help".
Is the ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F) output? Go to step . Replace the meter - main assembly. Ref. to COMBINATION METER .
6 CHECK MFD  .
  1. Remove the MFD.
  2. Attach the ambient temperature display to another vehicle on which the ambient temperature display operates normally to check its operation.
Does the ambient temperature display 25°C (77°F)? Replace the MFD. Replace the meter - main assembly. Ref. to COMBINATION METER .
