STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 1) After driving with warm up condition, park the vehicle while depressing the brake pedal at “N” range. 2) Read the data of «Sec. Sol. Set Current» and «Sec. Sol. Actual Current» using Subaru Select Monitor.	Does the value of «Sec. Sol. Set Current» and «Sec. Sol. Actual Current» almost correspond-	Check for poor contact of connector.	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0963 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "A" CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH
2.CHECK HARNESS. CAUTION: Start work after ATF cools down. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Disconnect the TCM connector. 3) Remove the transmission valve cover. 4) Disconnect the control valve body connector. 5) Measure the resistance between TCM connector and control valve body connector. Connector & terminal (T10) No. 32 — (T11) No. 3:	Is the resistance less than 1 --	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0963 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "A" CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH	Repair the open circuit of harness.
3.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 2) Measure the voltage between TCM connector and chassis ground.

4.CHECK SECONDARY SOLENOID. 1) Connect the connector for control valve body. 2) Measure the resistance between TCM connector and transmission body. Connector & terminal (T10) No. 32 — Transmission body:	Is the resistance approx. 5 — 7 -- (when cold)	Check for poor contact of connector, and if no fault is found, replace the TCM.

3. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

• Detect short circuit to power supply or open circuit of the transmission line pressure solenoid drive circuit.

• Judge as NG if the transmission line pressure solenoid drive current is lower than the predetermined value.

4. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary Parameters	Execution condition
12 V battery system voltage	≥ 9 V
Commanded line pressure control solenoid valve current	≥ 0.2 A

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

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

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
Measured line pressure control solenoid valve current	< 0.1 A

Time Needed for Diagnosis: 0.5 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
