DTC P0068: Map/MAF - Throttle Position Correlation: Notes

DTC detecting condition: 

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .
  1. CHECK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM  .

    Check the installing condition of the air intake system.

    Are there holes, loose bolts or disconnection of hose on air intake system?

    Yes:  Repair the air intake system.

    No:  Go to  2.

  2. CHECK MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR  .
    1. Start the engine and warm up engine until coolant temperature is higher than 75°C (167°F).
    2. For CVT models, set the select lever to "P" range or "N" range, and for MT models, place the shift lever in the neutral position.
    3. Turn the A/C switch to OFF.
    4. Turn all the accessory switches to OFF.
    5. Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the value of [Mani. Absolute Pressure].

      Data Monitor 

      NOTE:
      • SUBARU SELECT MONITOR

        For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DATA MONITOR .

      • General scan tool

        For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

    Is the value of [Mani. Absolute Pressure] 73.3 - 106.6 kPa (550 - 800 mmHg, 21.65 - 31.50 inHg) at ignition ON, and 20.0 - 46.7 kPa (150 - 350 mmHg, 5.91 - 13.78 inHg) at idling?

    Yes:  Go to  3.

    No:  Replace the manifold absolute pressure sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR .

  3. CHECK THROTTLE OPENING ANGLE  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the value of [Throttle Opening Angle].

    Data Monitor 

    NOTE:
    • SUBARU SELECT MONITOR

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DATA MONITOR .

    • General scan tool

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

    Is the value of [Throttle Opening Angle] less than 5% when throttle is fully closed?

    Yes:  Go to  4.

    No:  Replace the electronic throttle control. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>THROTTLE BODY .

  4. CHECK THROTTLE OPENING ANGLE  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the value of [Throttle Opening Angle].

    Data Monitor 

    NOTE:
    • SUBARU SELECT MONITOR

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to "Data Monitor". Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DATA MONITOR .

    • General scan tool

      For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

    Is the value of [Throttle Opening Angle] 85% or more when throttle is fully closed?

    Yes:  Replace the manifold absolute pressure sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR .

    No:  Replace the electronic throttle control. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>THROTTLE BODY .
