Check Door Lock Actuator And Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS (DOOR LOCK)  .
  1. Disconnect the body integrated unit and each door lock actuator connector.
  2. Check the harness between body integrated unit and each door lock actuator.

    Connector & terminal 

    Front door LH 

    (i171) No. 2 - (D72) No. 4: 

    Front door RH 

    (i171) No. 2 - (D18) No. 4: 

    Rear door LH 

    (i171) No. 2 - (D26) No. 4: 

    Rear door RH 

    (i171) No. 2 - (D32) No. 4: 

Is harness normal? Go to step 2  . Repair or replace the harness.
2 CHECK HARNESS (DOOR UNLOCK). 
Check the harness between body integrated unit and each door lock actuator.
Connector & terminal 
Front door LH 
(i171) No. 4 - (D72) No. 1: 
Front door RH (keyless access model) 
(i171) No. 6 - (D18) No. 1: 
Front door RH (keyless entry model) 
(i171) No. 3 - (D18) No. 1:

(i171) No. 3 - (D26) No. 1: 
Rear door RH 
(i171) No. 3 - (D32) No. 1: 
Is harness normal? Go to step 3  . Repair or replace the harness.
3 CHECK HARNESS (REAR GATE UNLOCK). 
Check the harness between the body integrated unit and rear gate lock actuator.
Connector & terminal 
(i171) No. 7 - (D46) No. 1: 
Is harness normal? Go to step 4  . Repair or replace the harness.
4 CHECK HARNESS (REAR GATE UNLOCK). 
Measure the resistance between the rear gate lock actuator connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(D46) No. 2 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance less than 10 Ω? Go to step 5  . Repair or replace the harness.
5 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT OUTPUT SIGNAL. 
  1. Connect the body integrated unit connector.
  2. Measure the voltage between terminals of the body integrated unit when operating the door lock switch to LOCK direction.

    Connector & terminal 

    Except for front door LH 

    (i171) No. 2 (+) - (i171) No. 3 (-): 

    Front door LH 

    (i171) No. 2 (+) - (i171) No. 4 (-): 

Does the voltage change from less than 1 V → 9 V or more? (During lock output) Go to step 6  . Replace the body integrated unit. < Ref. to BODY INTEGRATED UNIT . >
6 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT OUTPUT SIGNAL. 
Measure the voltage between terminals of the body integrated unit when operating the door lock switch to UNLOCK direction.
Connector & terminal 
Except for front door LH 
(i171) No. 3 (+) - (i171) No. 2 (-): 
Front door LH 
(i171) No. 4 (+) - (i171) No. 2 (-): 
Does the voltage change from less than 1 V → 9 V or more? (During unlock output) Go to step 7  . Replace the body integrated unit. < Ref. to BODY INTEGRATED UNIT . >
7 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT OUTPUT SIGNAL. 
Measure the voltage between body integrated unit and chassis ground when operating the rear gate opener button.
Connector & terminal 
(i171) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Does the voltage change from less than 1 V → 9 V or more? (During unlock output) Go to step 8  . Replace the body integrated unit. < Ref. to BODY INTEGRATED UNIT . >
8 CHECK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. 
Check the door lock actuator.
  • Front door lock actuator: < Ref. to INSPECTION , Front Door Latch and Door Lock Actuator Assembly. >
  • Rear door lock actuator: < Ref. to INSPECTION , Rear Door Latch and Door Lock Actuator Assembly. >
Is the door lock actuator OK? Go to step 9  . Replace the door latch and door lock actuator assembly.
9 CHECK REAR GATE LOCK ACTUATOR. 
Check the rear gate lock actuator. < Ref. to REAR GATE LATCH AND ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY . >
Is the rear gate lock actuator normal? Check the connection status of the harness and connector that may have a temporary poor contact. Replace the rear gate latch and actuator assembly.
