4. FREEZE FRAME DATA

NOTE:
• Data stored at the time of trouble occurrence is
shown on display.
• Each time a trouble occurs, the latest information
is stored in the freeze frame data in memory.
• If a freeze frame data is not properly stored in
memory (due to a drop in VDCCM power supply,
etc.), a DTC suffixed with a question mark “?” will
appear on the Subaru Select Monitor display. This
shows it may be an unreliable reading.

5. PARAMETER SELECTION

CAUTION:
• Subaru Select Monitor is required for param-
eter selection.
• This function can be used for the replace-
ment VDCCM&H/U and VDCCM.

NOTE:
• When a VDCCM is replaced with a replacement,
use this function to select and register parameters
to the VDCCM.
• For confirmation of applied models, refer to the
“Model number plate” attached to the vehicles.
<Ref. to ID-2, IDENTIFICATION, Identification.>
• If a wrong applied model is written, it can be re-
written.
• When no data is registered, ABS/EBD/VDC
warning light illuminates and the DTC “Parameter
selection error” is detected.
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.
2) On the «Main Menu» display, select the {Each
System Check}.
3) On the «System Selection Menu» display, select
the {Brake Control System}.
4) Click the [OK] button after the {VDC} is dis-
played.
5) On the «Brake Control Diagnosis» display, se-
lect the {Selection of Parameter}.
6) Check the applied model indicated in the “Model
number plate”. <Ref. to ID-2, IDENTIFICATION,
Identification.>
7) Enter the applied model of 7-digit alphanumeric
characters and press the [Enter] key.
8) When the confirmation screen indicating the ve-
hicle information appears, check that the correct
applied model and grade are displayed and click
the [OK] button.

NOTE:
When the displayed applied model and grade are
different from those of the vehicle, perform registra-
tion operations again after clicking the [OK] button.
9) Execute Clear Memory after parameter selec-
tion and registration operations because the DTC
for “Parameter selection error” is memorized.
