VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCE CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK DTC.	Does the DTC of CAN communication appear in the on-board diagnostics test mode?	Perform the diagnosis according to DTC.	Go to step 2.
2 CHECK FUSE (NO. 8). Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Remove the fuse (No. 8).	Is the fuse (No. 8) blown out?	Replace the fuse (No. 8). If the replaced fuse (No. 8) has blown out easily, repair the short circuit of harness between fuse (No. 8) and stop light switch.	Go to step 3.
3 CHECK THE BODY INTEGRATED UNIT. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data link connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON. (engine OFF) Turn the Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON. Depress the brake pedal. Read the data of "Stop Light Switch" using Subaru Select Monitor. < Ref. to OPERATION , Subaru Select Monitor. >	Is ON displayed?	Go to step 4.	Go to step 5.
4 CHECK TCM. Read the data of "Stop Light Switch" using Subaru Select Monitor.< Ref. to OPERATION , Subaru Select Monitor. >	Is ON displayed?	A temporary poor contact of connector or harness may be the cause. Check the poor contact.	Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
5 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT INPUT SIGNAL. Depress the brake pedal. Disconnect the connector from body integrated unit. Measure the voltage of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch. Connector & terminal (B281) No. 23 (+) - (B65) No. 3 (-):	Is the voltage more than 10 V?	Go to step 8.	Go to step 6.
6 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN BODY INTEGRATED UNIT AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from stop light switch. Measure the resistance of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch. Connector & terminal (B281) No. 23 - (B65) No. 3:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 7.	Repair the open circuit of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch.
7 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN BODY INTEGRATED UNIT AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH. Measure the resistance of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch. Connector & terminal (B281) No. 23 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?	Go to step 8.	Repair the short circuit of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch.
8 CHECK POOR CONTACT.	Is there poor contact in input signal of brake switch?	Repair the poor contact.	Check the body integrated unit.
