INSTALLATION
1. MODELS WITHOUT EyeSight
CAUTION:
• When installing the VDCCM&H/U to the bracket - hydraulic unit, make sure that there is no oil adhered to the bolts and the threads of VDCCM&H/U. If the oil is adhered, degrease it carefully before tightening.
• Connect the VDCCM&H/U connector securely.
• When installing the VDCCM&H/U, replace the damper - hydraulic unit, spacer and nut with new parts.
1. Install the VDC control module & hydraulic control unit (VDCCM&H/U) in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque:
Refer to “COMPONENT” of “General Description”. General Description > COMPONENT">
2. Install the air intake boot. Air Intake Boot > INSTALLATION">
3. Connect the battery ground terminal. NOTE">
4. Bleed air from the brake system. Air Bleeding">
5. Perform parameter confirmation, selection, and registration.
NOTE:
• When the VDCCM&H/U is replaced with a new part, be sure to perform the selection • registration operation.
• When the registration has not been performed, the DTC code “Parameter selection error” is detected together with the ABS/EBD/VDC warning light illumination.
(1) Check that the applied model and grade of the relevant vehicle are included. Subaru Select Monitor > OPERATION">
(2) If the applied model and grade of the target vehicle are not included, perform parameter selection and registration. Subaru Select Monitor > OPERATION">

2. MODELS WITH EyeSight
CAUTION:
• When the VDCCM&H/U components are removed, be sure to perform the installation according to the following procedures to prevent fluid leakage.
• When installing the VDCCM&H/U to the bracket - hydraulic unit, make sure that there is no oil adhered to the bolts and the threads of VDCCM&H/U. If the oil is adhered, degrease it carefully before tightening.
• Be careful not to deform the bracket - hydraulic unit for hose assembly.
• Connect the VDCCM&H/U connector securely.
