Engine Does Not Start

CAUTION:
  • When the keyless access CM is replaced with a new unit, and the battery ground terminal is connected, it will become ignition ON. Also, if the battery is disconnected, it will resume to a condition with the battery cut off.
  • When the keyless access CM is replaced, registration of the immobilizer is required. For the relevant procedures, refer to the "REGISTRATION MANUAL FOR IMMOBILIZER" provided as a separate volume. Contact an authorized Subaru Dealership.

    • Yes  : Go to  10.
    • No  : Go to 5. 
  5. CHECK DATA MONITOR. 

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the data monitor [Shift P Signal] of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start]. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

    Is ON displayed in parking position, and OFF displayed in other positions?

    • Yes  : Go to 6. 
    • No  : Go to  11.
  6. CHECK DATA MONITOR. 

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the data monitor [Stop Light Switch] of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start]. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .

    Is ON displayed when brake pedal depressed, and OFF displayed when brake pedal not depressed?

    • Yes  : Go to 7. 
    • No  : Go to  13.
  7. CHECK DATA MONITOR. 

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the data monitor [Neutral SW/Clutch SW] of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start]. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data 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?

    • Yes  : Go to 8. 
    • No  : Go to  15.
  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?

  9. CHECK KEYLESS ACCESS CM. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Using a tester, measure the voltage between the ECM connector and chassis ground in the 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 

        (B572) No. 13 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Does the value change from 1 V or less to +B-2 V or more in the step  1, and return to 1 V or less in the step  2?

  10. CHECK DATA MONITOR. 
    1. Connect the disconnected connectors.
    2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, check the data monitor [Engine start permission request reception status] of [Keyless Access with Push Button Start]. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS WITH PUSH BUTTON START (DIAGNOSTICS)>Data Monitor .
