Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK IGNITION SWITCH.	Is the ignition switch ON?	Go to step 2 .	Turn the ignition switch to ON, and select the airbag mode using the Subaru Select Monitor.
2 CHECK BATTERY. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the battery voltage.	Is the voltage 11 V or more?	Go to step 3 .	Charge or replace the battery.
3 CHECK BATTERY TERMINAL.	Is there poor contact at battery terminal?	Repair or tighten the battery terminal.	Go to step 4 .
4 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COMMUNICATION. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.	Is the system name displayed on Subaru Select Monitor?	Go to step 9 .	Go to step 5 .
5 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.	Is Subaru Select Monitor powered on?	Go to step 7 .	Go to step 6 .
6 CHECK FUSE. Remove a fuse in the data link connector and visually check the fuse.	Is the fuse OK?	Repair the harness between the battery 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 CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more. Confirm that the connectors of airbag control module (AB6, AB17, AB18) are securely connected.	Is the connector of the airbag control module securely connected?	Go to step 8 .	Connect the connector of the airbag control module.
8 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COMMUNICATION. Disconnect the airbag control module connector. Connect the battery ground terminal. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Check whether communication to other systems can be executed normally.	Is the system name displayed on Subaru Select Monitor?	Replace the airbag control module. Refer to AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE .	Go to step 9 .
9 CHECK FUSE. Remove fuse No. 25 from the fuse & relay box, and perform visual inspection.	Is the fuse OK?	Go to step 10 .	Replace the fuse. If the fuse is blown out again, check the power supply circuit.
10 CHECK AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable, and wait for 60 seconds or more. Confirm that the connectors of airbag control module (AB6, AB17, AB18) are securely connected.	Is the connector of the airbag control module securely connected?	Go to step 11 .	Connect the connector of the airbag control module.
11 CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION. Inspect LAN system. Refer to PROCEDURE .	Is there any fault?	Repair it according to the diagnosis for LAN system.	Go to step 12 .
12 CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT. Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module. Connect the connector (1AH) in the test harness AH to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18). Connect the connector (2AH) in the test harness AH and the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (2AG) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Go to step 13 .	Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the battery. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.
13 CHECK BETWEEN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AND CHASSIS GROUND. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (2AG) No. 4 - Chassis ground: (2AG) No. 3 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?	Go to step 14 .	Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the chassis ground. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.
14 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.	Is there poor contact of the control module power supply, ground circuit and data link connector?	Repair the connector. (Replace the harness instead of repairing the airbag system connector.)	Replace the airbag control module. Refer to REMOVAL .
