Front Sub Switch

CAUTION: Since the switch - power window main is controlled by CPU, do not check continuity for switch alone with the circuit tester. Performing continuity check with circuit tester can damage the switch - power window main circuit.

Check output from the switch - power window sub to the passenger's side motor using the oscilloscope function in the Subaru Select Monitor.

  1. Remove the switch - power window sub.
  2. Connect the battery and the Subaru Select Monitor to the switch - power window sub terminal.
    CAUTION: Never mix up the terminals when connecting the harness connector of the switch - power window sub and the battery. If the connection is wrong, the switch - power window sub may be damaged.
    NOTE: For detailed procedures, refer to "Subaru Select Monitor Operation Manual".

  3. Operate the switch - power window sub and check the output.
    NOTE: Since output time during window UP operation is extremely short, it cannot be checked without using a measuring instrument such as oscilloscope. Output is constantly produced while the switch is operated for window DOWN operation.
    Inspection conditions Output time Standard
    AUTO UP Approx. 130 ms Battery voltage
    UP
    OFF - 0 V
    DOWN During switch operation Battery voltage
