6

CHECK FUSE.
Remove fuse No. 13 from the fuse & relay box,
and perform visual inspection.

Is the fuse OK?

Repair the harness
between the bat-
tery and the data
link connector.

Replace the fuse. If
the fuse is blown
out again, check
the power supply
circuit.

7

CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CON-
NECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 sec-
onds or more.
2) Confirm that the connectors of airbag con-
trol module (AB6, AB17, AB18) are securely
connected.

Is the connector of the airbag
control module securely con-
nected?

Go to step

8.

Connect the con-
nector of the airbag
control module.

8

CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COM-
MUNICATION.
1) Disconnect the airbag control module con-
nector.
2) Connect the battery ground terminal.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Check whether communication to other sys-
tems can be executed normally.

Is the system name displayed
on Subaru Select Monitor?

Replace the airbag
control module.
<Ref. to AB-21,
Airbag Control
Module.>

Go to step

9.

9

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
EACH CONTROL MODULE AND DATA LINK
CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the airbag control module,
VDCCM&H/U, body integrated unit, ECM, and
TCM.
3) Measure the resistance between data link
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B40) No. 7 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or
more?

Go to step

10.

Repair the harness
and connector
between each con-
trol module and
data link connec-
tor. (Replace the
entire harness if
repair is necessary
for airbag har-
ness.)

10

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON in the condi-
tion of step 9.
2) Measure the voltage between data link con-
nector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B40) No. 7 (+) — Chassis ground (–):

Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Repair each con-
trol module.

Repair the harness
and connector
between each con-
trol module and
data link connec-
tor. (Replace the
