CAUTION:

Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Ref. to  BODY CONTROL/COMMUNICATION SYSTEM>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>CAUTION  . 

  1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .
    1. Connect the interface for Subaru Select Monitor to the data link connector. COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA LINK CONNECTOR
    2. Does the interface for Subaru Select Monitor turn on?

      Connector & terminal 

      Yes:  Go to  4 .

      No:  Go to  2

  2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON. (Engine OFF)
    2. Using the tester, measure the voltage between data link connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i221) No. 8 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (i221) No. 16 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 10 V or more?

      Yes:  Go to  3 .

      No:  Repair the power supply circuit.

      NOTE:

      In this case, repair the following item: 

      • Open or ground short circuit of harness between battery and data link connector 
      • Blown out of fuse (M/B No. 2, F/B fuse No. 3) 
  3. CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN Front relay control module AND CHASSIS GROUND  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Using the tester, measure the resistance between data link connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i221) No. 4 - Chassis ground:

      (i221) No. 5 - Chassis ground:

      Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

      Yes:  Check for poor contact of the data link connector, and repair a fault, if any. When no fault is found, Go to  4 .

      No:  Repair the harness and connector.

  4. CHECK INSTALLATION OF Front relay control module CONNECTOR  .

    Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

    Is the Front relay control module connectors (B68, B69) inserted into the Front relay control module until they lock?

    Yes:  Check the LAN system. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .

    No:  Insert the Front relay control module connector to Front relay control module. Repair the connector if the connector is faulty.
