1. CHECK DTC  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Read the DTC of [Front Relay Control Module] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to Front Relay Control Module (Diagnostics)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) .

      Is DTC B1A03 displayed? (Current malfunction)

      Yes:  Go to  2 .

      No:  Go to  6 .

2. CHECK DTC  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect Front relay control module connectors (B68, B69) and reconnect them.
   3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   4. Wait approx. 1 minute.
   5. Read the DTC of [Front Relay Control Module] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to Front Relay Control Module (Diagnostics)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) .

      Is DTC B1A03 displayed? (Current malfunction)

      Yes:  Go to  3 .

      No:  Go to  6 .

3. CHECK FUSE  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Check the fuse.

      Is the check result OK?

      Yes:  Go to  4 .

      No:  Replace the defective fuse.

4. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
   1. Disconnect Front relay control module connector (B69).
   2. Use a tester to measure the voltage between the battery and the Front relay control module connector (B69).

      Connector & terminal 

      (B69) No. 11 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      Is the voltage 8.5 - 16.5 V?

      Yes:  Go to  6 .

      No:  Go to  5 .

5. CHECK RELAY  .

   Check the IG relay unit.

   Is the relay OK?

   Yes:  Go to  6 .

   No:  Replace the relay.

6. CHECK CONNECTOR  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect Front relay control module connectors (B68, B69).

      Is there poor contact of connector?

      Yes:  When moved from step 1 or step 2: Repair or replace the poor contact of connector.

      When moved from step 4 or step 5: Repair or replace the connector, and check DTC. When DTC B1A03 is displayed, replace the Front relay control module. Ref. to BODY CONTROL/COMMUNICATION SYSTEM>FRONT RELAY CONTROL MODULE .

      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.
