1. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH  .

   Check the ignition switch.

   Is the ignition switch ON?

   Yes:  Go to  2 .

   No:  Turn the ignition switch to ON, and select the [Driver Monitor] using the Subaru Select Monitor.

2. CHECK BATTERY  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Check the battery. Ref. to STARTING/CHARGING SYSTEMS (H4DO)>BATTERY>INSPECTION .

   Is the check result OK?

   Yes:  Go to  3 .

   No:  Charge or replace the battery.

3. CHECK INSTALLATION OF Driver Monitoring Unit CONNECTOR  .

   Check Driver Monitoring Unit connector and adapter harness connector.

   Are the Driver Monitoring Unit connector and the adapter harness connector inserted into Driver Monitoring Unit until they are locked?

   Yes:  Go to  4 .

   No:  Insert the Driver Monitoring Unit connector into the Driver Monitoring Unit until it is locked.

4. CHECK LAN SYSTEM  .

   Perform the diagnosis for LAN system. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .

   Is there any fault in LAN system?

   Yes:  Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.

   No:  Go to  5 .

5. CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COMMUNICATION  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Check whether communication to the Driver Monitoring Unit can be executed normally.

   Is communication with [Driver Monitor] possible?

   Yes:  Read the DTC of [Driver Monitor] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to DRIVER MONITOR (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   No:  Go to  6 .

6. CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .

   Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to another vehicle to verify that the communication for initializing can be executed normally.

   Is communication for initializing possible?

   Yes:  Go to  7 .

   No:  Repair or replace the Subaru Select Monitor.

7. CHECK Driver Monitoring Unit POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT (OPEN • SHORT CIRCUIT)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the Driver Monitoring Unit adapter harness connector.
   3. Using a tester, measure the voltage between the driver monitoring adapter harness connector and chassis ground.

      Connector and terminal 

      (i347) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

   Is the voltage 10 - 15 V?

   Yes:  Go to  8 .

   No:  Repair the open or short circuit of harness, or poor contact of connector between the driver monitor unit adapter harness connector and the battery.

8. CHECK Driver Monitoring Unit GROUND CIRCUIT (OPEN)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Measure the resistance between Driver Monitoring Unit adapter harness connector and chassis ground.

      Connector and terminal 

      (i347) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

   Yes:  Go to  9 .

   No:  Repair the open circuit of Driver Monitoring Unit ground circuit or poor contact of connector.

9. CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR  .

   Check Driver Monitoring Unit power supply, ground circuit and data link connector for poor contact.

   Is there poor contact?

   Yes:  Repair the poor contact.

   No:  Replace Driver Monitoring Unit. Ref. to INSTRUMENTATION/DRIVER INFO>DRIVER MONITORING UNIT .
