Repair it according to the diagnosis for LAN system.

Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 12.

12.CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.

1) Disconnect the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18) from airbag control module.

2) Connect the connector (1AG) in the test harness AG to the connectors (AB6, AB17, AB18).

3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

4) Measure the voltage between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(2AG) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 13.

Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the battery. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.

13.CHECK BETWEEN AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AND CHASSIS GROUND.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Measure the resistance between connector (2AG) in the test harness AG and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(2AG) No. 4 — Chassis ground:

(2AG) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 10 ??

Subaru Select Monitor > INSPECTION">Go to Step 14.

Repair the harness between the airbag control module and the chassis ground. Or replace the airbag main harness along with the bulkhead harness.
