1. CHECK DATA MONITOR  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, perform the clear memory of [Engine]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY
   3. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   4. Start the engine.
   5. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the values in [Fuel Rail Pressure A] and [Fuel Rail Pressure B].
      NOTE:

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to "COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)". Ref. to  COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR 

   Is the difference of the values between [Fuel Rail Pressure A] and [Fuel Rail Pressure B] 2.24 MPa (16804 mmHg, 662 inHg) or more?

   Yes  : Go to  2.

   No  : Refer to "Check non-permanent occurrence malfunctions". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>INSPECTION>CHECK NON-PERMANENT OCCURRENCE MALFUNCTIONS

2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from the fuel pressure sensor.
   3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   4. Measure the voltage between fuel pressure sensor connector and engine ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E68) No. 4 (+) - Engine ground (-):

   Is the voltage 4.5 - 5.5 V?

   Yes  : Go to  3.

   No  : Go to  5.

3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR (OPEN)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
   3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E51) No. 22 - (E68) No. 1:

      (E51) No. 33 - (E68) No. 2:

      (E51) No. 54 - (E68) No. 3:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes  : Go to  4.

   No  : Repair the following item.

   • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector
   • Poor contact of J/C
4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND)  .

   Measure the resistance between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector and engine ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (E51) No. 22 - Engine ground:

   (E51) No. 54 - Engine ground:

   Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

   Yes  : Replace the fuel pressure sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

   No  : Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector.

5. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR (OPEN)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
   3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E51) No. 17 - (E68) No. 4:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes  : Go to  6.

   No  : Repair the following item.

   • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector
   • Poor contact of J/C
6. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO GROUND)  .

   Measure the resistance between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector and engine ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (E51) No. 17 - Engine ground:

   Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

   Yes  : Replace the fuel pressure sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR

   No  : Repair the ground short circuit of harness between ECM connector and fuel pressure sensor connector.
