DTC detecting condition: 

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

Trouble symptom: 

• Improper idling
• Poor driving performance

1. CHECK DTC. 
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the DTC of [Engine]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

2. CHECK DATA MONITOR. 
   1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the value in [Intake Air Temperature (B1-S2)].
      NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Common (Diagnostics)". Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>DATA MONITOR .
   2. Read the change of the value in [Intake Air Temperature (B1-S2)] while heating and cooling the manifold absolute pressure and intake air temperature sensor using a hair dryer.
      WARNING: Do not heat the part to the temperature where you cannot touch it with your bare hand in order to prevent burning yourself and protect the part.

   Does the value of [Intake Air Temperature (B1-S2)] change between heating and cooling?

   Yes  : Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

   No  : Replace the manifold absolute pressure and intake air temperature sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE AND INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR .
