Body Control System (Diagnostics): Diagnosis Subaru Forester SJ

INSPECTION

Before performing diagnosis, check the following items which might affect body control system problems.

  1. Measure the battery voltage and check electrolyte. Standard voltage: 12 V or more Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
  2. Check the fuse condition. Make sure that ampere of the fuse is setting value, and it is not blown out.
  3. Check the connecting condition of harness and harness connector.
  4. Confirm settings of body integrated unit are corresponded to vehicle equipment. < Ref. to «OPERATION»(ref-662108-S05424299862014101300000) , Registration Body Integrated Unit. >
  5. Make sure that the User Customizing of the body integrated unit matches the vehicle equipment. < Ref. to «OPERATION»(ref-662108-S05983590122014101300000) , User Customizing. >
  6. Confirm "Factory initial setting" of body integrated unit registrations is "Market".
  7. Confirm key illumination does not blink with ignition switch turned to ON.

DTC DETECTING CONDITION

System error in body integrated unit

TROUBLE SYMPTOM

LAN communication immobilizer function may not be executed normally.

StepCheckYesNo
1 CHECK DTC. Check DTC indicated by body integrated unit.Is B1100 current malfunction?Go to step 2.Temporary EEPROM access error occurred.
2 CHECK CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the body integrated unit connector. Connect the disconnected connectors. Read the DTC of body integrated unit using Subaru Select Monitor.Is B1100 current malfunction?Replace the body integrated unit. < Ref. to REMOVAL , Body Integrated Unit. >Temporary EEPROM access error occurred.

DTC PROCEDURE

  1. Voltage malfunction caused by poor contact of battery power supply control circuit
  2. Battery voltage of body integrated unit is not within the 8.5 - 16.5 V range.

Functions of body integrated unit stop.

Note. When B1102 BATT P/SUPPLY MALFUNCTION BACKUP is output at the same time, all the function of body integrated unit may not operate.

Voltage malfunction caused by poor contact of battery power supply backup circuits

Illuminations for the keyless entry, map light, luggage light, trunk light, room light, and ignition switch do not turn on.

Note. When B1101 BATT P/SUPPLY MALFUNCTION CONT. is output at the same time, all function of body integrated unit may not operate.

Voltage malfunction caused by poor contact of IGN power supply circuits

Symptoms such as shift lock or wiper not operating may occur.

Voltage malfunction caused by poor contact of ACC power supply circuit

DRL may not illuminate.

Ground short of key interlock circuit

Key interlock does not keep lock condition.

Open or power supply-output short, GND-output short in shift lock circuit.

Shift lock does not be released or remain locked.

UART between the keyless control module or TPMS Control Module and body integrated unit is open or shorted, or has communication failure.

  1. Door lock does not operate with keyless.
  2. TPMS does not operate. (The indicator blinks.)

Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read DTC, or check the following data on the current data display to make judgments.
