    S: DTC P0170 - Fuel Trim Malfunction

    Uploaded by

    Willie Austine
    The document provides troubleshooting steps for diagnosing a P0170 "FUEL TRIM MALFUNCTION" trouble code. It involves checking the exhaust system, air intake system, fuel pressure, engine coolant temperature sensor signal, and intake manifold pressure sensor signal. If fuel pressure or sensor voltage is out of specification, repairs such as cleaning or replacing components like the fuel pump, pressure regulator, sensors are suggested. The diagnostic procedure concludes that if sensor issues persist, inspection by a Subaru technical manager is required.
