CAUTION: Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>General Description>CAUTION .

CHECK DTC .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Maintain the select lever in P range for five seconds or more.
3. Maintain the brake pedal depressed for one second or more.
4. Read the DTC of [Body Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) .
Is DTC B1016 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.
CHECK FUSE .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Check the fuse.
Is the check result OK?

Yes : Go to 3.

No : Replace the defective fuse.
CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT) .
1. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid connector.
2. Using the tester, measure the resistance between terminals.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (i44) No. 4 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

Yes : Go to 4.

No : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID .
Using a tester, measure the resistance between shift lock solenoid terminals.

Terminals

Shift lock solenoid

No. 3 - No. 4:

Is the resistance between 27.6 - 30.5 Ω?

Yes : Go to 5.

No : Replace the shift lock solenoid. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>Shift Lock Solenoid and P Range Switch>REMOVAL .
CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT) .
Use a tester to measure the resistance between harness terminals.

Connector & terminal

(i44) No. 3 - (i84) No. 3:

NOTE: If body integrated unit and shift lock solenoid connector are not disconnected, disconnect them first, and then perform measurement.

Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

Yes : Go to 6.

No : Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT) .
Measure the resistance between body integrated unit and chassis ground using a tester.

Connector & terminal

(i84) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes : Go to 7.

No : Repair or replace the ground short circuit of the harness.
CHECK HARNESS (SHORT CIRCUIT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
Measure the voltage between body integrated unit and chassis ground using a tester.

Connector & terminal

(i84) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Yes : Go to 8.

No : Repair or replace the ground short circuit of the harness.
CHECK CONNECTOR .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the body integrated unit connector and shift lock solenoid connector.
Is there poor contact of connector terminal?

Yes : Repair or replace the poor contact of terminal.

No : Go to 9.
CHECK DTC .
1. Connect all the disconnected connectors.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Maintain the select lever in P range and the brake pedal depressed for five seconds or more.
4. Read the DTC of [Body Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BODY CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) .
Is DTC B1016 displayed? (Current malfunction)

Yes : Replace the body integrated unit. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>BODY INTEGRATED UNIT .

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.
