(B54) No. 5 — Chassis ground:
(B54) No. 14 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 1 
Ω?

Go to step 2.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
between TCM and 
transmission con-
nector.

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN 
TCM AND CHASSIS GROUND.
Measure the resistance between TCM connec-
tor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 15 — Chassis ground:
(B54) No. 12 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1

Ω?

Go to step 3.

Repair the short 
circuit of harness 
between TCM and 
transmission con-
nector.

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING 
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
1) Connect all the connectors.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine 
OFF)
3) Check input signal of LC/B oil pressure SW.

Is OFF displayed?

Go to step 4.

Go to step 7.

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING 
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine ON)
3) Shift to 3rd speed with checking current 
gear position using Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Check input signal of LC/B oil pressure SW.

Is OFF displayed?

Go to step 5.

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING 
SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine ON)
3) Drive the vehicle on 2nd speed of manual 
mode 15 km/h (9 MPH) with checking current 
gear position using Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Check input signal of LC/B oil pressure SW.

Is ON displayed?

Even if the SPORT 
indicator lights 
blinks, the system 
is in normal condi-
tion. A temporary 
poor contact of 
connector or har-
ness may be the 
cause. Repair the 
poor contact of 
harness in the 
solenoid output 
and oil pressure 
SW input.
