Is the fuse (7.5A) blown out? Replace the fuse (7.5A). If the replaced fuse (7.5A) blows out easily, repair the short circuit in the harness between the fuse (7.5A) and body integrated unit. Go to step .
4 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Run the Subaru Select Monitor.
  5. Depress the brake pedal.
  6. Read the data of «Stop Light Switch» using Subaru Select Monitor. < Refer to READ CURRENT DATA . >
Is "ON" displayed? Go to step . Go to step .
5 CHECK TCM. 
Read the data of «Stop Light Switch» using Subaru Select Monitor. < Refer to READ CURRENT DATA . >
Is "ON" displayed? Check for poor contact in connectors or harnesses, and repair the defective part. Replace the TCM. < Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
6 CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT INPUT SIGNAL. 
  1. Disconnect the connector from body integrated unit.

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step . Repair the open circuit of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch.
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN BODY INTEGRATED UNIT AND STOP LIGHT SWITCH. 
Measure the harness resistance between the body integrated unit and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B280) No. 2 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? Go to step . Repair the short circuit of harness between body integrated unit and stop light switch.
9 CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.  Is there poor contact of input signal of brake switch? Repair the poor contact. Check body integrated unit.
