Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector. COMMON(diag)>Data Link Connector

3.

Turn the ignition switch to ON and run the Subaru Select Monitor.

4.

Select [Airbag].

 

For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Help” of application.

Is communication possible?

4. CHECK DTC.

Read the DTC of [Airbag] using the Subaru Select Monitor. AIRBAG(DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Are any DTCs displayed? (Current malfunction)

Record the DTC, time stamp and freeze frame data, and 5

Currently, it is normal.

5. PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
1.

Perform the diagnosis for the displayed DTCs. AIRBAG(DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)>LIST

2.

Repair or replace the cause of trouble.

3.

Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Airbag]. COMMON(diag)>Clear memory
