Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK LAN SYSTEM. 
Inspect LAN system. Ref. to PROCEDURE , Basic Diagnostic Procedure.
Is the check result OK? Go to step Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.
2 CHECK CONNECTOR. 
  1. Disconnect the keyless access Control Module connector.
  2. Disconnect the front interior antenna connector.
  3. Check the connector.
Is the check result OK? Go to step Repair or replace the connector.
3 CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT. 
Using a tester, measure the voltage between the keyless access Control Module connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i75) No. 24 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 9.5 - 16 V? Go to step Check the power supply circuit.
4 CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access Control Module connector and front interior antenna connector, and between front interior antenna connector, keyless access Control Module connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i241) No. 1 - (i71) No. 3: 
(i241) No. 2 - (i71) No. 1: 
(i75) No. 1 - Chassis ground: 
(i241) No. 21 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
5 CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT). 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access Control Module connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i241) No. 1 - Chassis ground: 
(i241) No. 2 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance 10 kΩ or more? Go to step Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.
6 CHECK DTC. 
  1. Connect the keyless access Control Module connector.
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, clear the memory. Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE 
  3. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
Is DTC B27A5 displayed? Go to step Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
7 CHECK FRONT INTERIOR ANTENNA. 
  1. Replace the rear interior antenna with the front interior antenna. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS INDOOR ANTENNA
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, clear the memory. Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE 
  3. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
Is DTC B27A5 displayed? Replace the keyless access Control Module. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL MODULE Malfunction occurred in the front interior antenna.
