WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CHECK DOOR SWITCH

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
Measure the voltage between the keyless entry control unit harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
Front and rear side door: 
(B176) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear gate: 
(B176) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 0 V when each door or rear gate is opened? Go to step 2.  Go to step 3. 
2 CHECK DOOR SWITCH CIRCUIT. 
Measure the voltage between the keyless entry control unit harness connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
Front and rear side door: 
(B176) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Rear gate: 
(B176) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage more than 10 V when each door or rear gate is closed? The door switch is OK. Go to step 3. 
3 CHECK DOOR SWITCH. 
  1. Disconnect the door switch harness connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between the door switch terminals.

    Terminals 

    Door switch No. 1 - No. 3: 

    Rear gate latch switch No. 1 - No. 2: 

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ when the door switch is depressed? Go to step 4.  Replace the door switch.
4 CHECK DOOR SWITCH. 
Measure the resistance between the door switch terminals.
Terminals 
Door switch No. 1 - No. 3: 
Rear gate latch switch No. 1 - No. 2: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω when the door switch is released? Check the harness for open circuits and shorts between the body integrated module and door switch. Replace the door switch.
