DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK IGNITION SWITCH.	Is the ignition switch ON?	Go to step 2.	Turn the ignition switch to ON, and select Integ. unit mode using Subaru Select Monitor.
2 CHECK BATTERY. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the battery voltage.	Is the voltage 11 V or more?	Go to step 3.	Charge or replace the battery.
3 CHECK BATTERY TERMINAL.	Is there poor contact at battery terminal?	Repair or tighten the battery terminal.	Go to step 4 .
4 CHECK COMMUNICATION OF SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.	Is the system name displayed?	Go to step 7.	Go to step 5 .
5 CHECK COMMUNICATION OF SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the body integrated unit connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.	Is the system name displayed?	Go to step 7.	Go to step 6 .
6 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN EACH CONTROL MODULE AND SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between data link connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B40) No. 7 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Go to step 7.	Repair the harness and connector between each control module and Subaru Select Monitor.
7 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL TO BODY INTEGRATED UNIT. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between data link connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B40) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage less than 1 V?	Go to step 8.	Repair the harness and connector between each control module and Subaru Select Monitor.
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN BODY INTEGRATED UNIT AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between body integrated unit and data link connector. Connector & terminal (B40) No. 7 - (B280) No. 20:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 9.	Repair the harness and connector between body integrated unit and Subaru Select Monitor.
9 CHECK BACK-UP FUSE. Check that back-up fuse is not blown out, or check that it is inserted.	Is back-up fuse OK?	Go to step 10.	Replace the backup fuse, or insert it into the fuse holder.
10 CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT. Connect the body integrated unit. Measure the voltage between body integrated unit connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B280) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-): (B281) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Go to step 11.	Repair the open circuit of harness between body integrated unit and battery.
11 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN BODY INTEGRATED UNIT AND CHASSIS GROUND. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from body integrated unit. Measure the resistance of harness between the body integrated unit and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (i84) No. 28 - Chassis ground: (B279) No. 27 - Chassis ground: (B280) No. 17 - Chassis ground: (B280) No. 20 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Go to step 12.	Repair the poor contact of harness between body integrated unit and ground.
12 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.	Is there poor contact of the control unit ground and the Subaru Select Monitor?	Repair the poor contact of connector.	Replace the body integrated unit. < Ref. to REMOVAL , Body Integrated Unit. >

CAUTION: For model with immobilizer, immobilizer registration work is necessary when the body integrated unit replaced. For details, refer to the PC application help for Subaru Select Monitor.
