PARAMETER SELECTION

CAUTIONSubaru Select Monitor is required for parameter selection. This function can be used for the replacement part of VDCCM & H/U.

Note. When the VDCCM & H/U is replaced with a replacement part, be sure to perform the parameter selection/registration to the VDCCM & H/U using this function. To check the applied model, refer to the "Model number plate" attached to the vehicle. < Ref. to IDENTIFICATION , Identification. > If you entered a wrong applied model, you can re-write it. When the registration has not been performed, the DTC code "Parameter" is detected together with the ABS/EBD/VDC warning light illumination.

  1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
  2. On «Main Menu» display, select {Each System Check}.
  3. On «System Selection Menu» display, select {Brake Control System}.
  4. When {VDC} is displayed, select the [OK] button.
  5. On «Brake Control Diagnosis» display, select {Work Support}.
  6. On «Work Support» display, select {Select Parameter}.
  7. Check the applied model and option code indicated on the "Model number plate". < Ref. to «IDENTIFICATION»(ref-662102-S27756700692014101300000) , Identification. >
  8. Enter the applied model of 7-digit alphanumeric characters and press the [Enter] key.
  9. When the option code input screen appears after entering the applied model, enter the option code consisting of 4-digit alphanumeric characters, and press the [Enter] key When the option code is 3 digits, add "0" (zero) in front and enter the code as 4 digits.
  10. When the confirmation screen indicating the vehicle information appears, check that the correct applied model and grade are displayed and click the [OK] button. NOTE: When the displayed applied model and grade are different from those of the vehicle, perform registration operations again after clicking the [OK] button.
  11. Execute the Clear Memory Mode after parameter selection and registration operations because the DTC for "Parameter selection error" is memorized. < Ref. to «CLEAR MEMORY MODE»(ref-662151-S40115467402014101300000) . >

PARAMETER CHECK

Note. The parameter data registered in the VDC Control Module is shown on the display.

  1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
  2. On «Main Menu» display, select {Each System Check}.
  3. On «System Selection Menu» display, select {Brake Control System}.
  4. When {VDC} is displayed, select the [OK] button.
  5. On «Brake Control Diagnosis» display, select {Work Support}.
  6. On «Work Support» display, select {Confirm on parameter}.
  7. On the {Confirm on parameter} display screen, check that the applied model and grade of the target vehicle are included, and click the [OK] button.
  8. If the applied model and grade of the target vehicle are not included on the {Confirm on parameter} display screen, perform "parameter selection and registration". < Ref. to «PARAMETER SELECTION»(ref-662151-S24961083102014101300000) , OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor. >

5 PERFORM DRIVING TEST. Drive approximately 10 minutes, and check if the warning lights illuminate or improperly operate during driving. In a safe place, drive the vehicle while alternating acceleration and deceleration as much as possible.Did the ABS warning light or VDC warning light remain off? Does ABS or VDC operate without malfunction?Go to step 6 .Recheck from step 1, and when the warning lights illuminate or improperly operate, replace the VDC Control Module only. < Ref. to REPLACEMENT , VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM & H/U). >
6 CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Connect Subaru Select Monitor, and select "Current Data Display & Save". Read the «Lateral G Sensor» «Longitudinal G Sensor» displayed on display.Is the indicated reading of the lateral G sensor and longitudinal G sensor on the monitor display -1.5 - 1.5 m/s 2 ?It results from a temporary noise interference.Recheck from step 1, and if the problem is not solved, replace the VDC Control Module only. < Ref. to REPLACEMENT , VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM & H/U). >
7 CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR AND LONGITUDINAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Remove the VDCCM & H/U installation bolt and bracket. Keep VDCCM & H/U in a horizontal position. Connect Subaru Select Monitor, and select "Current Data Display & Save". Read the «Lateral G Sensor» «Longitudinal G Sensor» displayed on display.When the VDCCM & H/U is in a horizontal position, is the indicated reading of the lateral G sensor and longitudinal G sensor on the monitor display -1.5 - 1.5 m/s 2 ?Check the bracket and brake pipe, and install VDCCM & H/U in a horizontal position to the vehicle.Replace the VDC Control Module only. < Ref. to REPLACEMENT , VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM & H/U). >

1 CHECK YAW RATE & G SENSOR INSTALLATION.Is the yaw rate & G sensor installation bolt tightened to 7.5 N.m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)?Go to step 2 .Tighten the yaw rate & G sensor attachment bolt.
2 CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Select "Current Data Display & Save" on the Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA , OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor. > Read the «Lateral G Sensor» displayed on display.Is the indicated reading on the monitor display -1.5 - 1.5 m/s 2 ?Go to step 3 .Replace the yaw rate & G sensor. < Ref. to YAW RATE AND G SENSOR . >
3 CHECK OUTPUT OF LATERAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the yaw rate & G sensor from vehicle. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and select the "Current Data Display & Save" in Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA , OPERATION, Subaru Select Monitor. > Read the «Lateral G Sensor» displayed on display.When the yaw rate & G sensor is inclined 90° to the right, is the indicated value 6.8 - 12.8 m/s 2 ?Go to step 4 .Replace the yaw rate & G sensor. < Ref. to YAW RATE AND G SENSOR . >
4 CHECK LATERAL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. Read the «Lateral G Sensor» displayed on display.When the yaw rate & G sensor is inclined 90° to the left, is the indicated value -6.8 - -12.8 m/s 2 ?Go to step 5 .Replace the yaw rate & G sensor. < Ref. to YAW RATE AND G SENSOR . >
5 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.Is there poor contact of connector between VDCCM & H/U and yaw rate & G sensor?Repair the connector.Go to step 6 .
6 CHECK VDCCM & H/U. Connect all connectors. Clear the memory. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . > Perform the Inspection Mode. < Ref. to INSPECTION MODE . > Read the DTC.Is the same DTC displayed?Replace the VDC Control Module only. < Ref. to REPLACEMENT , VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM & H/U). >Go to step 7 .
7 CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.Is any other DTC displayed?Perform the diagnosis according to DTC. < Ref. to LIST OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . >Temporary poor contact occurs.

Note. For the diagnostic procedure, refer to "DTC C1732 LATERAL G SENSOR ABNORMAL". < Ref. to DTC C1732 LATERAL G SENSOR ABNORMAL , Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). >

StepCheckYesNo
1 WHETHER A WHEEL TURNED FREELY OR NOT.
