 Replace the keyless access Control Module. Ref. to KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL MODULE
9 CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
Using the Subaru Select Monitor, display the current data of «Keyless Access with Push Button Start»: «Code collation result between steering locked ECM and ID code box». Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA 		 Is data displayed as being normal? The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
 Go to step 10 
10 CHECK ID CODE BOX. 
  1. Replace with a properly functioning or new ID code box. Ref. to NOTE , ID Code Box.
  2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, display the current data of «Keyless Access with Push Button Start»: «Code collation result between steering locked ECM and ID code box». Ref. to READ CURRENT DATA 
 Is data displayed as being normal? The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.
NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
 Go to step 11 
11 CHECK STEERING LOCK CONTROL MODULE.
