MT model: Go to step
5 CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
Check the keyless access Control Module, current data «Shift P Signal» using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA 
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. Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA 
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. Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA 
Is «ON» displayed in parking and neutral positions, and «OFF» displayed in other positions? Go to step Go to step 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? 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 voltage between the keyless access Control Module connector and chassis ground in the following procedures.
