DTC U1712: Lost Lin Communication With Battery "1" Monitor Module: Notes

DTC detecting condition: 

Immediately at fault recognition

CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>General Description>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .
NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .

Wiring diagram:

  1. CHECK DTC  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool, read the DTC of [Engine]. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

    DTC Check 

    Is DTC U1712 displayed? (Current malfunction)

    Yes:  Go to  2.

    No:  The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

  2. CHECK ECM CONNECTOR  .

    Check the connecting condition of ECM connector.

    Is the ECM connector correctly connected?

    Yes:  Go to  3.

    No:  Connect the ECM connector correctly.

  3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN BATTERY AND BATTERY SENSOR (OPEN)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the ground terminal from battery sensor. Ref. to REPAIR CONTENTS>NOTE>SAFETY .
    3. Disconnect the connector from battery sensor.
    4. Disconnect the positive terminal of battery.
    5. Measure the resistance of the harness between battery positive cable terminal and battery sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      Positive cable terminal - (B9) No. 1:

      Positive cable terminal - (B9) No. 2:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes:  Go to  4.

    No:  Repair the open circuit in harness between battery positive cable terminal and battery sensor connector.

  4. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND BATTERY SENSOR (OPEN)  .
    1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    2. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and battery sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B9) No. 3 - (B134) No. 5:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes:  Repair the poor contact of ECM connector or battery sensor connector.

    No:  Repair the harness and connector.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and battery sensor connector
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
