1. CHECK DTC  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Read the DTC of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start (Collation)] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is any DTC other than DTC B2786 displayed? (Current code)

   Yes:  Perform the diagnosis of DTCs other than B2786. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)>LIST .

   No:  Go to  2.

2. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the keyless access control module connector.
   3. Disconnect the steering lock control module connector.
   4. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access control module connector and steering lock control module connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i241) No. 20 - (i47) No. 5:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes:  Go to  3.

   No:  Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

3. CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT)  .

   Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access control module and chassis ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (i241) No. 20 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance 10 kΩ or more?

   Yes:  Go to  4.

   No:  Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.

4. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .

   Using a tester, measure the resistance between the steering lock control module connector and chassis ground.

   Connector & terminal 

   (i47) No. 1 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

   Yes:  Go to  5.

   No:  Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

5. CHECK HARNESS  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   2. Using a tester, measure the voltage between the steering lock control module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i47) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (i47) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

   Is the voltage 11 - 14 V?

   Yes:  Go to  6.

   No:  Repair or replace the faulty portion of the power supply circuit.

6. CHECK STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE  .
   1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start (Collation)]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY .
   2. Read the DTC of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start (Collation)] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is DTC B2785 displayed?

   Yes:  Replace the keyless access control module. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL MODULE .

   No:  Go to  7.

7. CHECK STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE  .
   1. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start (Collation)]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>CLEAR MEMORY .
   2. Read the DTC of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start (Collation)] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is DTC B2786 displayed? (Current code)

   Yes:  Replace the steering lock control module. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>STEERING LOCK 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.
