Tumble Generator Valve Circuit 1 Over Current
2001-2004 Subaru Outback 3.0L H6
Description
The PCM has detected an overcurrent condition in the Tumble Generator Valve 1 actuator circuit. The actuator is drawing more current than expected, which may indicate a short circuit or mechanical binding.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- TGV 1 may operate erratically
- Possible blown fuse
- PCM protective shutdown of circuit
Common Causes
- TGV actuator motor shorted internally
- Wiring short to ground or power
- TGV valve mechanically binding causing motor overload
- Water intrusion in actuator
- Connector damage
Diagnostic Steps
- Test TGV 1 actuator resistance (low reading indicates short)
- Inspect wiring for shorts
- Check for TGV mechanical binding
- Look for water intrusion in actuator
- Disconnect actuator and check circuit
Repair Notes
Replace the TGV actuator if shorted; free any mechanical binding and repair wiring shorts.
