Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 6.
6.CHECK FUSE.
Remove a fuse in the data link connector and visually check the fuse.
Is the fuse OK?
Repair the harness between the battery and the data link connector.
Replace the fuse. If the fuse is blown out again, check the power supply circuit.
7.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
2) Confirm that the connectors of airbag control module (AB6, AB17, AB18) are securely connected.
Is the connector of the airbag control module securely connected?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 8.
Connect the connector of the airbag control module.
8.CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COMMUNICATION.
1) Disconnect the airbag control module connector.
2) Connect the battery ground terminal.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.
Is the system name displayed on Subaru Select Monitor?
Replace the airbag control module. Airbag Control Module">
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 9.
9.CHECK FUSE.
Remove fuse No. 25 from the fuse & relay box, and perform visual inspection.
Is the fuse OK?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 10.
Replace the fuse. If the fuse is blown out again, check the power supply circuit.
10.CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more.
2) Confirm that the connectors of airbag control module (AB6, AB17, AB18) are securely connected.
Is the connector of the airbag control module securely connected?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 11.
Connect the connector of the airbag control module.
11.CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION.
Inspect LAN system. Basic Diagnostic Procedure > PROCEDURE">
Is there any fault?
Repair it according to the diagnosis for LAN system.
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 12.
12.CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
1) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.
2) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2AG) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
Is the voltage 10 V or more?
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 13.
Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the battery. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.
13.CHECK BETWEEN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AND CHASSIS GROUND.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2AG) No. 4 — Chassis ground:
(2AG) No. 3 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 10 ??
Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 14.
Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the chassis ground. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.
14.CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.
Is there poor contact of the control module power supply, ground circuit and data link connector?
Repair the connector. (Replace the harness without repairing the airbag system connector.)
