D: INSPECTION

1. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR AREA (METHOD WITH CIRCUIT TESTER)

1) Remove the glove box lid assembly, glove box lower cover, instrument panel side cover RH and glove box back panel. <Ref. to EI-66, REMOVAL, Glove Box.>

2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine OFF)

3) Measure the voltage between ECM connector terminals.

Main sensor side

Sub sensor side

1. To ECM connector

4) After inspection, install the related parts in the reverse order of removal.

2. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR AREA (METHOD WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR)

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine OFF)

2) Read the accelerator pedal opening angle signal and voltage of accelerator pedal sensor using Subaru Select Monitor. <Ref. to EN(H4SO)(diag)-33, READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE (NORMAL MODE), OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>

<Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-34, READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE (NORMAL MODE), OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.> <Ref. to EN(H6DO)(diag)-35, READ CURRENT DATA FOR ENGINE (NORMAL MODE), OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor.>

3. OTHER INSPECTIONS

1) Check that the accelerator pedal does not have deformation, cracks or damage.

2) Check for smooth operation when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

3) Check if the accelerator pedal returns to its original position smoothly when the pedal is released.
