01 QMR OF THE MONTH
We are pleased to announce this month’s Winner of QMR of the Month:
Zach Alley from
Ferguson Subaru in Broken Arrow, OK
The QMR Zach submitted involved a very low-mileage 2019MY
Ascent with a customer concern described as a humming noise
heard at speeds over 50mph. After a short road test to confirm the
condition, Zach’s first check was to verify the fluid level and fluid
condition in the front differential. After determining the level was
low and seeing evidence of a leak, he drained the front differential,
inspected a sample of the gear oil and identified a considerable
amount of metal contamination. Zach determined the leak was
coming from one of the differential side seals but, closer inspection
revealed the lock plate which engages in the notches around the
perimeter of the seal retainer to maintain carrier bearing preload
adjustment was not installed properly. Although the bolt was tight,
the lock plate was rotated and never engaged any of the retainer
notches. This allowed the retainer to loosen and cause extensive
internal differential damage from the resulting excessive backlash.
The vehicle was repaired with a replacement transmission assembly.
In addition to fulfilling all the requirements for nomination as a QMR
of the Month nominee, Zach’s report contained excellent, high-quality
photos which caught the eye of the SBR Engineering staff. This led
them to request collection of the original transmission assembly from
the Retailer for further analysis due to the peculiar nature of the root
cause of this failure.
In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience
with us, Zach will be receiving the following.
A $500.00 Snap-On gift card.

01 UNDERSTANDING CUSTOMER’S CONCERN
The most important step in ensuring a customer’s concern is properly addressed is fully understanding the
concern. Too often Technicians spend time diagnosing a concern they do not fully understand. This leads to
lost productivity, unnecessary comebacks, vehicles not fixed right the first time, and dissatisfied customers.
When calling Techline for assistance where the concern is vague, often the Technician will be presented with
more questions than answers. When a concern is not fully understood the Technician should ask clarifying
questions. Customer questionnaires can be found on Subarunet > Service Operations & Technical >
Forms / downloads. Customer Interview forms can be found in the applicable Service Manual under most
system sections. If after getting additional information a concern still cannot be reproduced, then have
the customer reproduce the condition for the Technician servicing the vehicle. Often, once a Technician
experiences the condition they can rectify it.
07 2019MY FORESTER, DRIVER MONITORING SYSTEM (DMS) INOPERATIVE B2632 B2642
If DTC B2362 and/or B2642 are stored in history or set as current with any of the following conditions:
• Driver Focus will not register a name.
• When registering a new user, the system
will fail registration, yet create a new
profile with a default name that cannot be
customized.
• Memory seat switches are inoperative.
• Right door mirror does not dip in reverse,
check for poor contact at the door harness
connection as shown in the photo.
07 HILL START ASSIST LAMP ILLUMINATED WITHOUT ASSOCIATED DTCS OR CUSTOMER’S CONCERN
Techline continues to receive calls regarding Hill Start Assist Lamp that remain illuminated at all times. In
the absence of any DTC(s), the Technician should determine if the lamp illumination is normal operation.
Some drivers prefer to drive with the Hill Start Assist system turned OFF. When the system is deactivated,
the lamp will remain illuminated. Should a Technician encounter this condition, they should interview the
customer to determine if the system was deactivated intentionally. The activation / deactivation procedure
can be found in applicable Owner’s Manual > Starting and operating/Hill start assist system. The pages
below are from 2018 MY WRX Owner’s Manual.

This series features TechTIPS articles frequently referred to by Techline. This month’s features from
July 2015 illustrates secondary air system gasket installation on EJ engines.
11 SECONDARY AIR INJECTION DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES P2441 AND P2442
When working on a vehicle with Secondary
Air Injection System DTCs P2441 or P2442,
check the vehicle history to see if there has
been any work done to the engine or the
Secondary Air Injection System prior to the
DTC setting.
If so, check to see if there appear to be
traces of carbon on the back of the right hand
cylinder head. Turbo Charger removal may
be necessary to get a good view of the pipe
which bolts to the back of the cylinder head.
If carbon traces are seen as shown in the
photos below, there is a good chance the
gasket that seals the secondary air pipe to
the back of the cylinder head is installed in
the wrong direction (from prior repair) causing
secondary air flow to be partially blocked.
As seen in the attached photos, this gasket is
pointed on one end. The correct way to install
this gasket is with the pointed end facing
towards the transmission.
Wrong Way (Point Towards the Valve Cover) Correct Way (Point Towards the Short Block)
