StepCheckYesNo
1 CHECK CURRENT DATA. Display {ECU ACC} using Subaru Select Monitor.Does the current data indicate the standard value?Go to step 3 .Go to step 2 .
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN POWER SUPPLY - AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CM. Disconnect the auto headlight beam leveler CM connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between the auto headlight beam leveler CM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B150) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-)Is the voltage 8 - 16 V?Replace the auto headlight beam leveler CM. < Ref. to AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CONTROL MODULE . >Repair or replace the harness.
3 CHECK INDICATOR OUTPUT. Turn the ignition switch to ON.Does the warning indicator turn on for three seconds?Go to step 5 .Go to step 4 .
4 CHECK CURRENT DATA. Display {Indicator Signal} using Subaru Select Monitor. Turn the ignition switch to ON.Is it set as ON for 3 seconds?Go to step 6 .Replace the auto headlight beam leveler CM. < Ref. to AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CONTROL MODULE . >
5 CHECK INDICATOR OUTPUT. Leave the ignition switch to ON for 10 seconds.Does the warning indicator light go off?Go to step 9 .Go to step 13 .
6 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN BATTERY - INDICATOR BULB - AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CM. Disconnect the auto headlight beam leveler CM connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between the auto headlight beam leveler CM (indicator bulb) connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B150) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-)Is the voltage 12 V?Replace the auto headlight beam leveler CM. < Ref. to AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CONTROL MODULE . >Go to step 7 .
7 CHECK INDICATOR BULB. Disconnect the combination meter connector. Measure the continuity between combination meter terminals. Connector & terminal (i10) No. 20 - (i10) No. 8Is there continuity?Go to step 8 .Replace the meter case assembly. < Ref. to COMBINATION METER . >
8 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CM AND INDICATOR BULB. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the continuity between the auto headlight beam leveler CM and the combination meter. Connector & terminal (B150) No. 6 - (i10) No. 8Is there continuity?Replace the auto headlight beam leveler CM. < Ref. to AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER CONTROL MODULE . >Repair the open circuit and poor contact of the connector in the harness between the auto headlight beam leveler CM and indicator.
