CAUTION: After diagnosis ends, perform the clear memory for VDC system, turn the ignition switch to OFF, and wait for 30 seconds. Next, perform the clear memory for hybrid system, turn the ignition switch to OFF, and wait for 30 seconds. Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .

NOTE: This DTC may be stored when the wheel speed sensor connector is disconnected regardless of the ignition switch condition (ON/OFF). Perform the Clear Memory Mode after diagnosis if a DTC is recorded. Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .

CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR .
Check if there is poor contact between VDC Control Module & H/U and ABS wheel speed sensor.

Is there poor contact?

Yes : Repair the connector.

No : Go to 2.
CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN VDC CONTROL MODULE & H/U AND ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector (B310) from the VDC Control Module & H/U.
3. Disconnect the connector from ABS wheel speed sensor.
4. Measure the resistance between VDC Control Module & H/U connector and ABS wheel speed sensor connector.

CHECK ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR .
Check the ABS wheel speed sensor, Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC>FRONT ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR>INSPECTION . Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC>REAR ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR>INSPECTION .

Is the check result OK?

Yes : Go to 7.

No : Replace the ABS wheel speed sensor. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC>FRONT ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR . Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>REAR ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR .
CHECK VDC CONTROL MODULE & H/U .
1. Connect all connectors.
2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Brake Control]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .
3. Execute the inspection mode, Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>INSPECTION MODE .
4. Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor, Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
  Is the same DTC displayed?
  
  Yes : Replace the VDC Control Module & H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM & H/U) .
  
  No : Go to 8.
CHECK DETECTION OF OTHER DTCS FOR VDC .
Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

Is any other DTC displayed?

Yes : Perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)>LIST .

No : Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.
