1. CHECK HARNESS  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the manual mode switch connector.
   3. Measure the resistance between manual mode switch connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i44) No. 8 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes: Go to  2 .

   No: Repair the open circuit of harness.

2. CHECK MANUAL MODE SWITCH  .

   Measure the resistance between manual mode switch terminals.

   Connector & terminal 

   No. 7 - No. 8:

   Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

   Yes: Go to  3 .

   No: Replace the select lever assembly. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>SELECT LEVER .

3. CHECK MANUAL MODE SWITCH  .
   1. Shift the select lever to manual mode.
   2. Measure the resistance between manual mode switch terminals.

      Connector & terminal 

      No. 7 - No. 8:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes: Go to  4 .

   No: Replace the select lever assembly. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>SELECT LEVER .

4. CHECK HARNESS  .
   1. Disconnect the TCM connector.
   2. Measure the resistance between TCM connector and manual mode switch connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      ENGINE TYPE FB 

      (T10) No. 20 - (i44) No. 7:

      ENGINE TYPE EZ 

      (B54) No. 20 - (i44) No. 7:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes: Go to  5 .

   No: Repair the open circuit of harness or poor contact of connector.

5. CHECK HARNESS  .

   Measure the resistance between manual mode switch connector and chassis ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (i44) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

   Yes: Go to  6 .

   No: Repair the short circuit of harness.

6. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM  .
   1. Connect all connectors.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Set the select lever to "D" range.
   4. Read the data of «Tiptronic Mode Switch» using Subaru Select Monitor.

   Does the value of «Tiptronic Mode Switch» change to "ON" with select lever in manual mode, and "OFF" with select lever in other than manual mode?

   Yes: Current condition is normal.

   No: Go to  7 .

7. CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT  .

   Is there poor contact of the manual mode switch circuit?

   Yes: Repair the poor contact.

   No: Replace the TCM. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR690)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .
