1. CHECK DTC  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the DTC of [Engine]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is DTC P06B1 or P06B2 displayed? (Current code)

   Yes:  Check the appropriate DTC using the "Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)>LIST .

   No:  Go to  2.

2. CHECK DATA MONITOR  .
   1. Start the engine.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the value in [TGV Position Sensor R].
      NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)". Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

   Is the value of [TGV Position Sensor R] 5 V or more?

   Yes:  Go to  3.

   No:  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.
3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR RH CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from tumble generator valve actuator RH.
   3. Start the engine.
   4. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read the value in [TGV Position Sensor R].
      NOTE: For detailed operation procedures, refer to "COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)". Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR .

   Is the value of [TGV Position Sensor R] 5 V or more?

   Yes:  Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.

   No:  Go to  4.

4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR RH CONNECTOR (OPEN)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Measure the resistance of harness between tumble generator valve actuator RH connector and engine ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E55) No. 2 - Engine ground:

   Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

   Yes:  Go to  5.

   No:  Repair the following item.

   • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and tumble generator valve actuator RH connector
   • Poor contact of ECM connector
   • Poor contact of J/C
5. CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT  .

   Check for poor contact of tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.

   Is there poor contact of the tumble generator valve actuator RH connector?

   Yes:  Repair the poor contact of tumble generator valve actuator RH connector.

   No:  Replace the tumble generator valve actuator RH. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR .

   NOTE: The tumble generator valve actuator cannot be disassembled.
