STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK CONNECTOR.
1) Check the condition of connector connection.
2) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">
Is B14E4 displayed?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B14E4 AIR MIX DOOR ACTUATOR STEPPING MOTOR CIRCUIT SHORT-CIRCUIT (PASSENGER)">Go to Step 2.
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 POWER SUPPLY OF AIR MIX DOOR ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the air mix door actuator connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between the air mix door actuator connector terminal and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B239) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (–):
Is the voltage approx. 10 V or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B14E4 AIR MIX DOOR ACTUATOR STEPPING MOTOR CIRCUIT SHORT-CIRCUIT (PASSENGER)">Go to Step 3.
Check the DC power supply circuit.
3.CHECK AIR MIX DOOR ACTUATOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between air mix door actuator terminals using a tester.
Connector & terminal
(B239) No. 3 — No. 1:
(B239) No. 3 — No. 2:
(B239) No. 3 — No. 5:
(B239) No. 3 — No. 6:
Is the resistance 80 — 100 ??

Replace the actuator. Air Mix Door Actuator > REMOVAL">
4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN A/C CONTROL PANEL AND AIR MIX DOOR ACTUATOR (SHORTED TO POWER SUPPLY).
1) Disconnect the A/C control panel connector.
2) Measure the voltage between air mix door actuator connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B239) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
(B239) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
(B239) No. 5 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
(B239) No. 6 (+) — Chassis ground (−):
Is there any voltage?
Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.
Replace the A/C control panel. Control Panel > REMOVAL">
Before driving your vehicle
Before entering the vehicle, remove any
snow or ice from your shoes because that
could make the pedals slippery and
driving dangerous.
While warming up the vehicle before
driving, check that the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal, and all other controls operate
smoothly.
Clear away ice and sno ...
Headlights (models without HID headlights)
CAUTION
Halogen headlight bulbs become
very hot while in use. If you touch
the bulb surface with bare hands or
greasy gloves, fingerprints or
grease on the bulb surface will
develop into hot spots, causing the
bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface,
wipe the ...
