Was the basic diagnostic procedure performed up to step 7?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Perform the basic diagnostic procedure. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .
CHECK DTC (OTHER THAN U-CODE) .
Check the displayed DTC.

Is DTC other than U*** displayed? (Current code)

Yes: Perform the diagnosis for the displayed DTCs other than U-code.

No: Go to 3.
CHECK DTC (U-CODE) .
Check the displayed DTC.

Is DTC for the bus off or the data no-receive displayed? (Current code)

Yes: Perform the diagnosis for DTCs for the displayed bus off or the data no-receive.

No: Go to 4.
CHECK DTC .
Check the displayed DTC.

Is DTC U142C displayed? (Current code)

Yes: Go to 5.

No: Go to 9.
CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from the electric brake booster Control Module.
3. Disconnect the connector from the VDCCM & H/U.
4. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the electric brake booster Control Module connector and VDCCM & H/U connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B664) No. 25 - (B310) No. 11:
  
  (B664) No. 16 - (B310) No. 25:
Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

Yes: Go to 6.

No: Repair the open circuit of harness.
CHECK HARNESS (SHORT CIRCUIT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure the resistance between the electric brake booster Control Module connector and chassis ground and between the VDCCM & H/U connector and chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B664) No. 25 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
  
  (B664) No. 16 (+) - Chassis ground (-):
Is the voltage less than 1 V?

Yes: Go to 7.

No: Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness.
CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Measure the resistance between the electric brake booster Control Module connector and chassis ground and between the VDCCM & H/U connector and chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (B664) No. 25 - Chassis ground:
  
  (B664) No. 16 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes: Go to 8.

No: Repair the ground short circuit of harness.
CHECK DTC .
Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read all DTCs. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

Is DTC U142C detected in several modules? (Current code)

Yes: Replace the electric brake booster Control Module. Ref. to BRAKE>BRAKE BOOSTER .

No: Replace the module that the DTC has been detected.
CHECK HARNESS .
1. Shake the harness, and check for poor contact.
2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, read all DTCs. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .
Is DTC U142C displayed? (Current code)

Yes: Repair the poor contact of harness, or replace the harness.

No: Go to 10.
CHECK CONNECTOR .
Check the connector used for high speed CAN for poor contact.

Is there poor contact of connector?

Yes: Repair the connector that has poor contact, or replace harness.

No: It is possible that temporary poor communication occurs. Delete the DTC.
