U116F Subaru Impreza 3 Diagnostic Trouble Code

U116F Subaru Impreza 3 code definition:
U116F is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic U-Network Diagnostic Trouble Code for Subaru Impreza 3.

U116F Subaru Impreza 3 is triggered when the bank 1 camshaft position sensor doesn't match the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. If the car doesn't start, they will proceed by testing the voltage at the fuel pump connector and see if the fuel pump relay, fuse, and PCM circuitry should be inspected.

Symptoms

Symptoms of a U116F Subaru Impreza 3 diagnostic trouble code may include:

Rich or lean exhaust
Fuel pressure too low
Engine surge
Diminished fuel efficiency

Possible Causes :

The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
Faulty IMRC actuator relay (if equipped)

Common Misdiagnoses

Vehicle Speed Output Circuit Problem
Cruise Control Servo Indicates Low Problem
A/C System High Pressure High Temperature Problem
PCM Stack Overrun Problem
Transmission Control Module Reprogrammable Memory Problem

Repair Processes :

Oxygen sensors signal the engine management computer the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust, which is used in determining and controlling the fuel ratio. Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector. If the scan tool has that capability, and the scan tool can operate the IMRC valves, then the problem is either resolved and a simple code clearing is all that's left or a new PCM would be called for.
