Inspection steps

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Subaru BRZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Before performing the troubleshooting, check the fuse of this circuit.
  1. Reading the current data of the SSM4 (ACC SW)
    1. On the SSM4, navigate to the [Data monitor] display, and check the computer data. (Refer to DATA MONITOR/ACTIVE TEST )

      Criteria: The normal value on the data monitor is displayed properly.

      SSM4 screen: [Each System] →[Body Control] →[Data monitor]

      Item name Description/display range Normal value Remarks
      [ACC SW] Status of the ACC signal
      Display range: OFF-ON
      OFF: ACC OFF
      ON: The power mode is ACC
      ON or IG ON.
      This item will be displayed as [ON] in the IG ON status.

      NG: Go to step  2.

      OK: Go to next step

      See the next circuit for inspection shown on the symptom table. (Refer to SYMPTOM TABLE )

  2. Inspection of the wiring harness and the connector (ACC1 relay power supply)
    NOTE: For inspection procedures and precautions, refer to SYMPTOM TABLE .
    1. Disconnect the connectors 3A and 3E of the instrument panel junction block ASSY.
    2. Measure the voltage between the connector terminals on the vehicle wiring harness side.

      Voltage

      Inspection terminals Inspection conditions Standard value
      3E-1 - chassis ground Always 11 to 14V
      3A-20 - chassis ground ACC ON 11 to 14V
    3. Measure the resistance between the connector terminals on the vehicle wiring harness side.

      Resistance

      Inspection terminals Inspection conditions Standard value
      3A-12 - chassis ground Always Less than 1 Ω
      3A-13 - chassis ground Always Less than 1 Ω

    B: Go to step  4.

    C: Repair or replacement of wiring harness or connector

    A: Go to next step

  3. Inspection of the instrument panel junction block ASSY (ACC1 relay inspection)
    NOTE: For inspection procedures and precautions, refer to SYMPTOM TABLE .
    1. Remove the instrument panel junction block ASSY from the vehicle. (Refer to REMOVAL )
    2. Remove the main body ECM (multiplex network body computer) from the instrument panel junction block ASSY.
    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals.
