1. CHECK VDCCM&H/U GROUND CIRCUIT (CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from the VDCCM&H/U.
   3. Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B66) No. 46 - Chassis ground:

      Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

      Yes  : Go to  2.

      No  : Repair the VDCCM&H/U ground harness.

2. CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS  .

   Is there poor contact of the connector between the battery, ignition switch and VDCCM&H/U?

   Yes  : Repair the connector.

   No  : Go to  3.

3. CHECK CAUSE OF SIGNAL NOISE  .

   Are the radio wave devices and electronic components installed correctly?

   Yes  : Go to  4.

   No  : Install the radio wave devices and electronic components properly.

4. CHECK CAUSE OF SIGNAL NOISE  .

   Is there a noise source (such as an antenna) installed near the sensor harness and VDCCM?

   Yes  : Install the noise sources apart from sensor harness and VDCCM.

   No  : Go to  5.

5. CHECK VDCCM&H/U  .
   1. Connect all connectors.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Brake Control]. Refer to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .
   3. Execute the inspection mode. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Inspection Mode .
   4. Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

      Is the same DTC displayed?

      Yes  : Replace the VDCCM&H/U. Refer to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

      No  : Go to  6.

6. CHECK DETECTION OF OTHER DTCS FOR VDC  .

   Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is any other DTC displayed?

   Yes  : Perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. Refer to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)>LIST .

   No  : Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.
