  1. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Move the select lever to each range, read the data of [P Range], [R Range Signal], [N Range] and [D Range Signal] using the Subaru Select Monitor.

    Is the display of the corresponding range "ON"? 

    Yes: Go to  7.

    No: Go to  2.

  2. CHECK HARNESS  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the TCM and transmission connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM connector and transmission connector.
