01 QMR OF THE MONTH – TRIP WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT
Subaru of America, Inc. is extremely excited to announce the fourth quarter 2018 QMR of the Month
SIA / Indianapolis Motor Speedway Trip winner! As previously mentioned in the January 2018 edition
of TECH TIPS and a Subarunet announcement on January 15, 2018 titled “QMR of the Month Program
Enhancement – Trip to SIA and Indianapolis Motor Speedway”, SOA has added yet another great new
feature to the QMR of the Month program. One National winner from each 2018 calendar year quarter
(a potential of 4 winners annually) will win a trip to Lafayette, Indiana to visit and tour the Subaru of
Indiana Automotive plant along with a visit and tour of the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In
addition, each winner will receive two plaques which include the following: 1) a SBR Appreciation letter
from SBR Corporate Vice President Hiroki Kurihara, and 2) a SOA Appreciation letter from President
and CEO Tom Doll, and Vice President of Service & Quality Michael Campbell!
The winner for 2018’s fourth quarter is:
Corey Repoza from Herb Gordon
Subaru in Silver Springs, MD
Corey submitted an excellent QMR outlining his diagnosis and repair of the A/C system on a new
2019MY Forester. The customer stated the A/C system was not working and that it blew warm air
regardless of the setting. After confirming the condition as reported, Corey connected his manifold
gauges to check high and low-side system pressures which were both equal at just 90 psi. A thorough
inspection for refrigerant leaks revealed nothing. Realizing he was working with a variable-displacement
type compressor, Corey connected the SSM4 and checked the current data. His findings revealed the
compressor was not coming on along with both high and low-side pressures were zero instead of the 90
psi his gauges read. Next, he checked for DTCs and started looking into the stored B14A3 which related
to an open pressure sensor circuit. The diagnostics asked if a B14A4 (shorted sensor circuit) was
present which it was not. Corey then started looking into the wiring diagram for commonalities between
different components and realized the air intake door and high pressure sensor shared the same power
and ground. Since the harness connector (B627) for the high pressure sensor was easier to access than
the mix door actuator’s, he disconnected it and realized current data for the low-side pressure began to
change. After numerous additional electrical checks which he provided detailed results of in his report,
Corey determined the high pressure sensor was failed internally. He proceeded to evacuate the system
and replace the sensor. After recharging, normal current data was observed along with normal system
operation.
