DTC U1822: Lost Communication With Master Main Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Subaru WRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC detecting condition: 

Data does not arrive from power window main switch.

Trouble symptom: 

LIN communication is not normal.

Wiring diagram:

CAUTION:

Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Ref. to  BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>CAUTION  

  1. CHECK DTC  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Wait for 10 seconds.
    4. Read the DTC of [Body Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 

    Is DTC U1822 displayed? (Current code)

    Yes  : Go to  2.

    No  : 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. 

  2. CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT CUSTOMIZATION  .

    Using Subaru Select Monitor, make sure the [Customize] setting values of [Body Control] correspond to the vehicle.

    Does the set value of [P/W ECU Setting] correspond to the vehicle?

    Yes  : Go to  3.

    No  : Change the set value according to the vehicle.

  3. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector from body integrated unit.
    3. Disconnect the connector from the power window main switch.
    4. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the body integrated unit connector and power window main switch connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i83) No. 2 - (Df34) No. 13:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes  : Go to  4.

    No  : Repair the open circuit of harness.

  4. CHECK HARNESS (SHORT CIRCUIT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Measure the voltage between power window main switch connector and body integrated unit connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i83) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (Df34) No. 13 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage less than 1 V?

    Yes  : Go to  5.

    No  : Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness.

  5. CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Measure the resistance between power window main switch connector and body integrated unit connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i83) No. 2 - Chassis ground:

      (Df34) No. 13 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

    Yes  : Replace the body integrated unit. Ref. to BODY CONTROL/COMMUNICATION SYSTEM>BODY INTEGRATED UNIT

    No  : Repair the ground short circuit of harness.
