   4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   5. Read the DTC relating the «Reverse Automatic Braking» using the Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (DIAGNOSTICS)>READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is DTC B2C13 displayed? (Current malfunction)

   Yes:  Go to  2.

   No:  Even if DTC is displayed, 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.
2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN SONAR SENSOR CONNECTOR AND RAB Control Module CONNECTOR. (SHORTED TO GROUND). 
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the sonar sensor (left corner) connector and the RAB Control Module connector.
   3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between sonar sensor (left corner) connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (R364) No. 2 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance 1 Ω or more?

   Yes:  Go to  3.

   No:  Repair or replace the short circuit in the harness between sonar sensor connector and RAB Control Module connector.

3. CHECK SONAR SENSOR. 
   1. Switch the sonar sensor (left corner) and sonar sensor (left inner).
