CAUTION:

Use the check board when measuring the TCM terminal voltage and resistance.
After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform the last step of the basic diagnostic procedure. Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .

CHECK REPEATABILITY .
1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY .
2. Start the engine.
3. Operate Auto Start Stop after driving the vehicle, then restart the engine by pressing the Auto Start Stop cancel switch.
  NOTE: Even if Auto Start Stop does not operate, go to step 4).
4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the DTC after repeating the procedure from step 2 to 4 three times. Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
Is the same DTC as current diagnosis output?

Yes : Go to 2.

No : 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.
CHECK ELECTRIC OIL PUMP OPERATION STATUS SIGNAL .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Read the waveform of electric oil pump operation status signal using an oscilloscope.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (T10) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the duty ratio of electric oil pump operation status signal 30%? Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>CONTROL MODULE I/O SIGNAL>WAVEFORM .

Yes : Go to 4.

No : Go to 3.
CHECK ELECTRIC OIL PUMP OPERATION COMMAND SIGNAL .
Read the waveform of electric oil pump operation command signal using an oscilloscope.

Connector & terminal

(T10) No. 21 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

Is the duty ratio of electric oil pump operation command signal 10%? Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>CONTROL MODULE I/O SIGNAL>WAVEFORM .

Yes : Check for the poor contact in TCM connector and electric oil pump connector. If no fault is found, replace the electric oil pump. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (EXCEPT FOR WILDERNESS)>ELECTRIC FLUID PUMP . Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (WILDERNESS)>ELECTRIC FLUID PUMP .

No : Check for the poor contact in TCM connector and electric oil pump connector. Replace the TCM if no fault is found. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (EXCEPT FOR WILDERNESS)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (WILDERNESS)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .
CHECK ELECTRIC OIL PUMP OPERATION STATUS SIGNAL .
1. Start the engine.
2. Perform the active test using Subaru Select Monitor to activate the Auto Start Stop. Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>ACTIVE TEST .
3. Read the waveform of electric oil pump operation status signal using an oscilloscope.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (T10) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the duty ratio of electric oil pump operation status signal 50%? Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>CONTROL MODULE I/O SIGNAL>WAVEFORM .

Yes : Check for poor contact of TCM connector. Replace the TCM if no fault is found. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (EXCEPT FOR WILDERNESS)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580) (WILDERNESS)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .

No : Go to 5.
CHECK ELECTRIC OIL PUMP OPERATION COMMAND SIGNAL .
1. Start the engine.
2. Perform the active test using Subaru Select Monitor to activate the Auto Start Stop. Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>ACTIVE TEST .
3. Read the waveform of electric oil pump operation command signal using an oscilloscope.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (T10) No. 21 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the duty ratio of electric oil pump operation command signal as shown below? Ref. to AUTO START STOP (DIAGNOSTICS)>CONTROL MODULE I/O SIGNAL>WAVEFORM .

Except for WILDERNESS MODEL: 70%

WILDERNESS MODEL: 55%

Yes : Check for the poor contact in TCM connector and electric oil pump connector. If no fault is found, replace the electric oil pump.
