4) Check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.
Is the system name displayed on Subaru Select Monitor?
Replace the power steering control module. Power Steering Control Module">
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 6.
6.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN EACH CONTROL MODULE AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from ECM, VDC CM, airbag CM and body integrated unit.
CAUTION:
When disconnecting the connector from airbag CM, always follow the precautions on AB section. General Description > CAUTION">
3) Measure the resistance between data link connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B40) No. 7 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 M? or more?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 7.
Repair the short circuit to ground in harness and connector between each control module and data link connector.
7.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between the power steering control module and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B40) No. 7 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
Is the voltage less than 1 V?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 8.
Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness and connector between each control module and data link connector.
8.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND DATA LINK CONNECTOR.
Measure the resistance between the power steering control module connector and the data link connector.
Connector & terminal
(B450) No. 2 — (B40) No. 7:
Is the resistance less than 0.5 ??
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 9.
Repair the open circuit or poor contact of harness and connectors between the power steering control module and data link connector.
9.CHECK POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR INSTALLATION.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
Is the power steering control module connector inserted into the power steering control module until the clamp locks?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 10.
Insert the power steering control module connector into the power steering control module.
10.CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the power steering control module connector (B452).
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (Engine OFF)
4) Measure the ignition power supply voltage between the power steering control module connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B450) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
(B452) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 11.
Repair the open circuit of harness or the poor contact of connector between the power steering control module and the battery.
11.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND CHASSIS GROUND.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from the power steering control module.
3) Measure the resistance in the harness between the power steering control module and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B452) No. 1 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 0.5 ??
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 12.
Repair the open circuit or poor contact of the harness between the power steering control module and chassis ground.
12.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.
Is there poor contact of power steering control module power supply, ground circuit and data link connector?
Repair the connector.
Replace the power steering control module. Power Steering Control Module">
2. WITHOUT DTC
Detecting condition:
• Defective combination meter
• Open circuit of harness
Trouble symptom:
• The STEERING warning light will not turn off.
• «No DTC» will be displayed on Subaru Select Monitor.
NOTE:
When the STEERING warning light is OFF and «No DTC» is displayed on Subaru Select Monitor when all DTCs are read, the system is operating properly.
