Detecting condition: 

Trouble symptom: 

Not communicable with Subaru Select Monitor.

Wiring diagram: 

G13632688Courtesy of SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC.
CAUTION: Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Refer to KEYLESS ENTRY (DIAGNOSTICS)>General Description>CAUTION .
  1. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .

    Connect DST-i to data link connector.

    Does DST-i turn ON?

    Yes: Go to  4.

    No: Go to  2.

  2. CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    2. Using the tester, measure the voltage between data link connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i221) No. 8 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (i221) No. 16 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 10 V or more?

    Yes: Go to  3.

    No: Repair the power supply circuit.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open or ground short circuit of harness between battery and data link connector
    • Blown out of fuse
  3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN DATA LINK CONNECTOR AND CHASSIS GROUND (OPEN)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Using the tester, measure the resistance between data link connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i221) No. 4 - Chassis ground:

      (i221) No. 5 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

    Yes: Check for poor contact of the data link connector, and repair a fault, if any. When no fault is found, Go to  4.

    No: Repair the harness and connector.

  4. CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR  .
    1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to a normal vehicle.
    2. Start the engine and establish communication between the Subaru Select Monitor and vehicle.

    Is communication possible?

    Yes: Go to  5.

    No: Use another Subaru Select Monitor because the CAN communication circuit of the Subaru Select Monitor is faulty.

  5. CHECK LAN SYSTEM  .

    Perform the diagnosis for LAN system. Refer to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .

    Is LAN system OK?

    Yes: Go to  6.

    No: Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.

  6. CHECK CONNECTOR  .

    Check TPMS & keyless entry Control Module connector or keyless entry Control Module connector, data link connector or intermediate connector for poor contact.

    Is the connector OK?

    Yes: Go to  7.

    No: Repair the connector.

  7. CHECK FUSE  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Remove a fuse from the fuse box.
    3. Check the fuse. Refer to SECURITY AND LOCKS>RELAY AND FUSE .

    Is the fuse OK?

    Yes: Go to  8.

    No: Replace the fuse. If the replaced fuse blows out easily, repair the ground short circuit in harness between the TPMS & keyless entry Control Module or keyless entry Control Module and fuse.

  8. CHECK TPMS & KEYLESS ENTRY Control Module OR KEYLESS ENTRY Control Module POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT (OPEN)  .
    1. Disconnect the TPMS & keyless entry Control Module connector or keyless entry Control Module connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage between the TPMS & keyless entry Control Module connector or the keyless entry Control Module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      Without TPMS 

      (L83) No. 12 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      With TPMS 

      (L83) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (L83) No. 12 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 10 V or more?

    Yes: Go to  9.

    No: Check for open or short circuit in the harness between the TPMS & keyless entry Control Module or keyless entry Control Module and fuses.

  9. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR TPMS & KEYLESS ENTRY Control Module OR KEYLESS ENTRY Control Module (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .

    Measure the resistance in harness between TPMS & keyless entry Control Module connector or keyless entry Control Module connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (L83) No. 7 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes: Check the connection between the data link connector and Subaru Select Monitor.

    No: Repair the harness for ground line.
