Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR. 
  1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to another vehicle.
  2. Check communication condition between Subaru Select Monitor and vehicle.
Is communication performed normally? Go to step . Subaru Select Monitor unit or diagnosis cable is faulty. Or check the fuse on the vehicle side.
2 CHECK DATA LINK CONNECTOR. 
Use a tester to check for continuity in the ground circuit.
Connector & terminal 
(B40) No. 4 - Chassis ground: 
(B40) No. 5 - (B134) No. 53: 
Is there continuity? Go to step . Repair or replace the open circuit.
3 CHECK DATA LINK CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Using a tester, check the power supply of data link connector.

Connector & terminal 
(B40) No. 8 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
(B40) No. 16 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step . Check the power supply circuits to the data link connector.
4 CHECK COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING ERROR. 
Perform the communication for initializing with each module by connecting the Subaru Select Monitor. (For systems whose module can communicate with diagnostic devices)
NOTE: By performing «CAN bus check», confirmation of minimal connection modules is possible. <Ref. to CAN BUS ECU COMMUNICATION CHECK .>
Is the communication possible with all modules? 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.
Perform the inspection using the check sheet of communication for initializing. <Ref. to CHECK USING THE CHECK SHEET OF COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING , COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE, Subaru Select Monitor.>
