CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT.
1) Start the engine, and set the vehicle speed 
at 20 km/h (12 MPH) or more.
2) Read the “Front Wheel Speed” of the body 
integrated unit using Subaru Select Monitor. 
<Ref. to LAN(diag)-12, OPERATION, Subaru 
Select Monitor.>

Is the data displayed as 
999.9 km/h?

Check the follow-
ing items.
• LAN system
<Ref. to 
LAN(diag)-65, 
DTC U1223 CAN-
HS VDC/ABS NO-
RECEIVE DATA, 
Diagnostic Proce-
dure with Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code 
(DTC).>
• VDC
<Ref. to 
VDC(diag)-2, 
Basic Diagnostic 
Procedure.>
• ABS
<Ref. to 
ABS(diag)-2, Basic 
Diagnostic Proce-
dure.>

Go to step 3.

CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT.
Read the “Front Wheel Speed” of the body inte-
grated unit using Subaru Select Monitor. <Ref. 
to LAN(diag)-12, OPERATION, Subaru Select 
Monitor.>

Is the vehicle speed displayed 
correctly?

Replace the body 
integrated unit. 
<Ref. to SL-56, 
REMOVAL, Body 
Integrated Unit.>

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.
Blow hot air at the ambient sensor, and read the 
voltage of ambient sensor using Subaru Select 
Monitor. <Ref. to LAN(diag)-12, OPERATION, 
Subaru Select Monitor.>

Does the voltage change?

Go to step 8.

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from the body 
integrated unit and the ambient sensor.
3) Measure the resistance of harness between 
body integrated unit connector and ambient 
sensor connector.

Connector & terminal

(B281) No. 10 — (F78) No. 1:
(B281) No. 3 — (F78) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 

:? Go to step 6.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness.

6

CHECK HARNESS.
Measure the resistance between body inte-
grated unit connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B281) No. 10 — Chassis ground:
(B281) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 1 M

:? Go to step 7.

Repair the short 
circuit of harness.

7

CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.
Blow hot air at the ambient sensor, and read the 
resistance between ambient sensor terminals.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Does the resistance change?

Replace the body 
integrated unit. 
<Ref. to SL-56, 
REMOVAL, Body 
Integrated Unit.>

Replace the ambi-
ent sensor.

8

CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.
Blow cold air at the ambient sensor, and read 
the ambient temperature using Subaru Select 
Monitor. <Ref. to LAN(diag)-12, OPERATION, 
Subaru Select Monitor.>

Does the temperature change 
(at lower temperatures)?

Replace the clock 
body. <Ref. to IDI-
28, Clock.>

Replace the body 
integrated unit. 
<Ref. to SL-56, 
REMOVAL, Body 
Integrated Unit.>
