DIAGNOSTICS PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK DTC. 
Read DTC using the Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . >
Are DTCs other than DTC B2786 displayed? Perform the diagnosis according to DTC. Go to step .
2 CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 
  1. Disconnect the keyless access control module connector.
  2. Disconnect the steering lock control module connector.
  3. Using the tester, measure the resistance between terminals.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i241) No. 13 - (i47) No. 5: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step . Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
3 CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT). 
Using the tester, measure the resistance between terminals.
Connector & terminal 
(i241) No. 13 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance 10 kΩ or more? Go to step . Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.
4 CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the steering lock control module connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i47) No. 1 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step . Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
5 CHECK HARNESS. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Using a tester, measure the voltage between the steering lock control module connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i47) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

    (i47) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage 11 - 14 V? Go to step . Repair or replace the faulty portion of the power supply circuit.
6 CHECK STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, clear the memory. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
  3. Read DTC using the Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . >
Is DTC B2785 displayed? Replace the keyless access control module. < Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL MODULE . > Go to step .
7 CHECK STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, clear the memory. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
  3. Read DTC using the Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . >
Is DTC B2786 displayed? Replace the steering lock control module. < Ref. to STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE . > Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
