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 5 seconds.
    4. Read the DTC of [Body Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

    Is DTC U1675 displayed? (Current malfunction)

    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.

    Is the setting value of [Seat Memory Setting] equal to [Exist]?

    Yes  : Go to  3 .

    No  : Change the setting value to [ON].

  3. CHECK CONTROL MODULE  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the power seat control module connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Wait for 5 seconds.
    5. Read the DTC of [Body Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

    Is DTC U1675 displayed? (Current malfunction)

    Yes  : Go to  4 .

    No  : Replace the power seat control module. Ref. to SEATS>POWER SEAT SYSTEM .

  4. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the body integrated unit connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between the body integrated unit connector and power seat control module connector.

      Connector and terminal 

      (R502) No. 18 - (B281) No. 10:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes  : Go to  5 .

    No  : Repair the open circuit of harness.

  5. CHECK HARNESS (SHORT CIRCUIT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .

    Measure the voltage between power seat control module connector and chassis ground.

    Connector and terminal 

    (R502) No. 18 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage less than 1 V?

    Yes  : Go to  6 .

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

  6. CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT)  .

    Measure the resistance between power seat control module connector and chassis ground.

    Connector and terminal 

    (R502) No. 18 - Chassis ground:

    Is the voltage 1 MΩ or more?

    Yes  : Replace the body integrated unit. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>BODY INTEGRATED UNIT .

    No  : Repair the ground short circuit of harness.
