2.CHECK WAVEFORM DATA ON THE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR (WHILE DRIVING).

1) Drive at a constant speed between 80 — 112 km/h (50 — 70 MPH).

2) After 5 minutes have elapsed in the condition of step 1), use the Subaru Select Monitor while still driving to read the waveform data.

• At normal condition

• At abnormal condition (numerous inversion)

Is a normal waveform displayed-

Even if DTC is detected, 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.

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

• Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor RH connector

• Poor contact of coupling connector

7.CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR SHIELD.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Expose the rear oxygen sensor RH connector body side harness sensor shield.

3) Measure the resistance between sensor shield and chassis ground.

Is the resistance less than 1 --

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD BANK 1

Repair the open circuit of rear oxygen sensor RH harness.

8.CHECK ENGINE OIL AMOUNT AND EXHAUST GAS.

1) Check the engine oil amount. Engine Oil > INSPECTION

2) Check exhaust gas during idling.

Does the engine oil amount drop or white smoke emit from the muffler-

Check the engine, and repair the defective part. Engine Trouble in General > INSPECTION

After engine is repaired, replace the catalytic converters RH and LH. Front Catalytic Converter Rear Catalytic Converter

After the catalytic converter is replaced, perform step 2 to check the normal waveform is displayed, and then exit the procedure.

Replace the rear oxygen sensor RH. Rear Oxygen Sensor

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the deterioration of the catalyst function.

Though the rear oxygen sensor output changes slowly with a new catalyst, the sensor output with a deteriorated catalyst becomes high and the inversion time is shortened.

For this reason, the catalyst diagnosis is carried out by monitoring the rear oxygen sensor output and comparing it with the front oxygen (A/F) sensor output.

4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis only once at a constant vehicle speed of 40 km/h (24.9 MPH) or more.

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

After establishing the execution conditions, calculate the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda deviation cumulative value per 32 milliseconds - 4 (Σ |(sglmdn − sglmdn−1)|) and rear oxygen sensor output voltage deviation cumulative value (Σ |(ro2sadn − ro2sadn−1)|), and when the front oxygen (A/F) sensor lambda deviation cumulative value (Σ |(sglmdn − sglmdn−1)|) becomes the predetermined value or more, calculate the diagnostic value.

If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is within the time indicated, judge as NG.
