  3. CHECK POWER SUPPLY  .

    Using the Subaru Select Monitor, display the following items in the [Data monitor] of [Body Control]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>DATA MONITOR

    • [BATT voltage (control)]
    • [BATT voltage (BACKUP)]
    • [IGN voltage]

    Is the voltage 9 - 16 V?

    Yes  : Go to  4.

    No  : Check the body integrated unit and replace it if defective.

  4. CHECK CLEARANCE LIGHT POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector of body integrated unit.
    3. Measure the voltage between the body integrated unit connector and chassis ground.
