Check Keyless Entry Control Module

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC). 
  1. Prepare the Subaru Select Monitor kit.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and run the "PC application for Subaru Select Monitor".
  3. On << System Selection Menu >> display, select {Integ. unit mode}.

2 CHECK POWER SUPPLY. 
  1. Disconnect the keyless entry control module connector.
  2. Measure the voltage between keyless entry control module connector and chassis ground.
