Is ON displayed in parking position, and OFF displayed in other positions? Go to step . Go to step 11  .
6 CHECK CURRENT DATA  .
Confirm the keyless access control module, current data «Stop Light Switch» using the Subaru Select Monitor.
Is ON displayed when brake pedal depressed, and OFF displayed when brake pedal not depressed? Go to step . Go to step 13  .
7 CHECK CURRENT DATA  .
Confirm the keyless access control module, current data «Neutral SW/Clutch SW» using the Subaru Select Monitor.
Except for MT model: is ON displayed in parking and neutral position and OFF displayed in other positions? MT model: is ON displayed when clutch pedal depressed and OFF displayed when clutch pedal not depressed? Go to step . CVT model: Go to step 15  .
MT model: Go to step 16  .
8 CHECK STEERING LOCK  .
Operate the push button ignition switch to perform the power supply switching and check steering lock condition during ACC-ON condition.
Is the steering lock in unlocked condition? Go to step . Perform the diagnostics according to the symptom for steering lock system in General Diagnostic Table. <Ref. to STEERING LOCK SYSTEM , INSPECTION, General Diagnostic Table.>
9 CHECK KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL MODULE  .
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
  3. Using a tester, measure the battery voltage in following procedures.

  1. Press the push button ignition switch with the brake pedal depressed (MT model: clutch pedal depressed). (Measure within 10 seconds.)
  2. Release the push button ignition switch from the condition of step  1. above.

    Connector & terminal
