NOTE
Do not turn the ignition switch to OFF after the cruise control is deactivated. Do not operate the cruise control command switch after the cruise control is deactivated. If the above is performed, the cancel code will be cleared.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE CHART

CAUTION

Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the cruise control command switch.

CAUTIONAirbag system wiring harnesses and connectors are yellow. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits. Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when servicing the cruise control command switch. Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the cruise control command switch.

GENERAL TOOL

TOOL NAMEREMARKS

LIST

Note. The cancel code is registered even when cancel is performed intentionally by the driver. Cancel codes are cleared if the ignition switch is turned to OFF. If a different cancel code is input after a cancel code (latest code) has been input, the latest code is overwritten. If the cruise indicator light is flashing, a malfunction is occurring in the system or cruise control related switch. The cancel code at this time is saved even after ignition switch OFF as a memory code of a past malfunction. To display a cancel code, use the Subaru Select Monitor to read the code after the cruise control is deactivated during a driving test.

Cancel codeItemContents of diagnosisReference
11Main SwitchMain switch of cruise control command switch is turned to OFF, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without operating the main switch. Refer to DTC 11 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
12Stop Light & Brake SwitchStop light switch or brake switch is turned to ON, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without depressing the brake pedal. Refer to DTC 12 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
13Clutch SwitchClutch switch is turned to ON, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without depressing the clutch pedal. Refer to DTC 13 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
14Neutral Position SwitchNeutral position switch is turned to ON, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without shifting to neutral position. Refer to DTC 14 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
15Cancel SwitchCancel switch is turned to ON, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without operating the cancel switch. Refer to DTC 15 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
16Ignition SwitchIgnition switch is turned to OFF, and then the cruise control is released.This code is displayed without operating the ignition switch. Refer to DTC 16 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
21Cruise control switch malfunction when ignition switch is turned to ONWhen the ignition switch is turned to ON, each switch of cruise control command switch is already turned to ON.This code is displayed when the ignition switch is turned to ON without operating the cruise control command switch. Refer to DTC 21 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
22Abnormality of change in vehicle speedMalfunction of vehicle speed signal variation is detected.Refer to DTC 22 , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
