PROCEDURE

StepCheckYesNo
1 PERFORM CUSTOMER INTERVIEW. Using the Check List for Interview, ask the customer the condition of how the trouble occurred. < Refer To CHECK , Check List for Interview. >Did you interview the customer?Go to step 2 .Interview the customer. < Refer To CHECK , Check List for Interview. >
2 CHECK LAN SYSTEM. Inspect LAN system. < Refer To PROCEDURE , Basic Diagnostic Procedure. >Is there any fault?Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.Go to step 3 .
3 CHECK AUTO HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVELER SYSTEM. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read DTC of the auto headlight beam leveler system inspection. < Refer To OPERATION , Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). > NOTE: If the communication function of the Subaru Select Monitor cannot be executed properly, check the communication circuit. < Refer To COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE , INSPECTION, Subaru Select Monitor. >Is DTC displayed?Perform the diagnosis according to DTC. < Refer To LIST , List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). >Go to step 4 .
4 CHECK DIAGNOSTICS WITH PHENOMENON. Check "Diagnostics with Phenomenon". < Refer To DIAGNOSTICS WITH PHENOMENON . >Does the symptom apply?Perform diagnosis according to the procedures in the diagnostics with phenomenon.Go to step 5 .
5 CHECK TROUBLE PHENOMENON. Perform the basic inspection and function check. < Refer To INSPECTION , General Description. > Check the auto headlight beam leveler CM. < Refer To CONTROL MODULE I/O SIGNAL . > Perform check of current data. < Refer To READ CURRENT DATA . > Perform a unit check.Was the trouble cause found?Repair or replace the cause of trouble.System is normal.
NOTE
If the communication function of the Subaru Select Monitor cannot be executed properly, check the communication circuit. < Refer To COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE , INSPECTION, Subaru Select Monitor. >
