01 QMR OF THE MONTH
We are pleased to announce this month’s Winner of QMR of the Month:
Steven Zielinski from
Faulkner Subaru in Harrisburg, PA.
Steven’s winning QMR involved a 2019 Outback 3.6R with a recurring,
intermittent no start and low (or dead) battery concern. After a review of
the vehicle’s prior repair history, he began his diagnosis by connecting
the Midtronics battery charger / tester to rule out a faulty battery. Both
the battery and charging system were inspected and determined to be
fine. Steven then began investigating for an excessive voltage (dark
current) draw. His initial results showed a low .03mA current draw,
well within specifications supplied in TSB 07-85-14. The vehicle then
sat for 4 days and during that period, he continued to monitor the draw
at various times with no significant change. Another inspection the
following morning revealed the battery was dead. Steven re-charged
the battery and checked the current draw again which still measured
an acceptable .03 mA. Next, he removed the audio fuse and allowed
the vehicle to sit overnight. The battery was fine the next morning
so, he reinstalled audio fuse and performed additional circuit testing
with no problem found. The following morning, the battery was not
completely dead but, only had approximately 4 volts, nowhere near
enough to start the car. Steven charged battery yet again, let the vehicle
run for about 2 hours then shut vehicle off and re-connected his test
equipment. This time, a significant 3 amp current draw was identified.
He then began performing voltage drop tests across the fuses in the
under-hood Main fuse box (M/B). After performing extensive testing,
Steven was able to determine the BIU was intermittently “waking up”
and powering a handful of circuits which combined to create the 3.0A
draw he had verified earlier. He replaced Body Integrated Unit (BIU)
and test drove the vehicle multiple times. His confirmation testing over
the following week never produced a current draw of more than the
original .03mA identified previously. Steven’s report outlined all the
tests performed and contained detailed results for each.
In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience with
us, Steven will receive the following from his Field Service Engineer:

2020MY vehicles, the system appears
unresponsive (does not automatically
“identify” the vehicle / VIN) and displays
the screen as shown below. The Vehicle
information must be selected manually
to initialize SSM communication. This
condition will be addressed in the
January 2020 SSM Software Update
release.

This series features TechTIPS articles frequently referred to by Techline. This month’s feature is for
Homelink Mirror Programming Information from January 2014
15 HOMELINK MIRROR PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
Should you receive a customer concern of not being able to program their HomeLink mirror, the
cause may be software incompatibility between the mirror and the garage door opener. If the
customer has recently added or replaced their opener, it may not be receiving a “usable” activation
signal from the HomeLink mirror. When the opener utilizes HomeLink Version 4 software (common
in openers produced after 2011) and the HomeLink mirror utilizes HomeLink Version 3, a “signal
repeater” device is often required to complete the programming process. The HomeLink mirror part
numbers listed below all operate with HomeLink Version 4 and do not require a repeater.
• H501SFJ101 (applicable to 2012-14 Impreza, 2013-14 XV Crosstrek, 2013-14 Outback & Legacy)
• H501SAJ100 (2010-12 Outback & Legacy)
• H501SSG100 (applicable to 2014-15 Forester)
• H501SCA101 (applicable to 2013-14 BRZ*)
*BRZ HomeLink mirrors requires an adaptor.
If your customer has one of the openers listed in the HomeLink website information provided below,
they may need to purchase a repeater. They are available directly from HomeLink through their
website: https://secure.homelink.com/homelink-repeater-kit-detail and have a price of $27.95 each
plus shipping. For more information and Tech Support on HomeLink products, go to: www.homelink.

SWAPPING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS: THE HARDEST LESSONS LEARNED ARE USUALLY THE
MOST EXPENSIVE 15
As some Retailers continue to find out, swapping electronic components between
vehicles is never a good idea.
For example: NEVER swap audio head units between vehicles because there is
adequate supply of replacement and exchange units available to repair them. Breaking
the head unit serial number – VIN association will exclude that particular vehicle from
future head unit FOTA updates.
For years, the instruction has been to NOT swap DCMs between vehicles. Unfortunately, this continues
to happen during audio head unit swaps with hasty disregard for the Telematics control module bolted
to the same mounting bracket. Swapping the DCM often leads to DCM replacement in order to repair
the Telematics concerns created by the swap. When customer subscriptions are involved, repairs may
even require DCM replacement in both the donor and recipient vehicles.
The ECM should NEVER be swapped because it carries the VIN with it. Swapping an ECM into another
vehicle will cause the DCM to pull the VIN from the donor ECM. Even though this is the ECM moving,
the DCM thinks it has been swapped. Just as in a real DCM swap, the DCM in a vehicle with a swapped
ECM may also require replacement as a result.
To summarize, there are no shortcuts in today’s world of Automotive Technology. Electrical systems
become more dependent upon each other every year and any interruption or change in their operation
can ripple through the entire vehicle affecting multiple systems. When there is a question about a trouble
tree, diagnostic procedure or replacement procedure, don’t guess. Use all your available resources for
additional information and guidance. Consult STIS first and foremost, your FSE and the SOA Techline
as they are all here to help you.
15 TELEMATICS SUBSCRIPTION ERROR CODES 202 AND 204
During ongoing review of Techline cases, there have been several inquiries regarding the PDI comm
check, Error Code 202, and Error Code 204.
• Error Code 202 essentially means the comm check signal failed to send from the DCM. It could
be a network issue or hardware problem but, the most common root cause is the comm check
has never been completed.
• Error Code 204 occurs when the provisioning message which is returned to the DCM and writes
the VIN has not been returned. This could be a network issue or hardware problem but most
often, it is a technical issue with one of the databases which can only be resolved by opening a
TechLine case.
Error 202 and 204 are the subject of TSB 15-219-18R. This bulletin is an excellent resource for Technicians
to use when addressing these concerns. Taking the time to review this document thoroughly and having
the answers to the questions the bulletin asks before contacting Techline about either error code is
paramount to finding a quick resolution of the concern. These cases are often involve time-sensitive
situations which can impact both the sales delivery experience and customer satisfaction.

September 2019 TechTIPS Page 4 of 10
15 TELEMATICS SUBSCRIPTION ERROR CODES 202 AND 204 (CONTINUED)
An easy way to verify the comm check has been completed on any vehicle is to push the SOS button.
There can only be one of the following two results.
1. Pushing the SOS button and hearing the recorded message: “Not currently subscribed to
STARLINK. Please visit mySubaru.com to upgrade your service”. This indicates the comm check
was completed successfully.
2. Pushing the SOS button and nothing happens: this indicates there has not been a comm check
performed on the vehicle. Perform the comm check following the procedure below.
Comm Check Procedure:
Press and hold the blue i-Call (i-button) switch for 2 seconds
or more.
This will identify both the VIN (via the ECM) and the DCM
ID then transmit them to the SOA network via the AT&T 4G
LTE network. When received, subscription information will
be associated with the VIN and verified on the Subaru of
America, Inc. (SOA) servers.
REMEMBER:
• Error Code 202 is often fixed with a comm check. The vast majority of these cases can easily be
resolved locally without any Techline or external support.
TIP: Get in the habit of using the SOS button to verify every new vehicle is comm checked before delivery.
• Error Code 204 requires a Techline case to get the help required to resolve the concern. None
of these cases have been solved without external support.
15 TELEMATICS RES FEATURE INOPERATIVE AND REVISED B2A16 DIAGNOSTICS
The Techline has received some reports recently about DTC B2A16 on STARLINK Gen2 Telematics
equipped vehicles (2019-20 Ascent, 2019-20 Impreza, 2019-20 Crosstrek / Crosstrek Hybrid, 2019-20
Forester, and 2020 Legacy/ Outback).
Almost all cases describe the following situation:
• When attempting to use the Remote Engine Start (RES) feature via Telematics (STARLINK / My
Subaru), the request is unsuccessful and the red Telematics lamp illuminates. All other Telematics
remote functions work normally.
• Customer brings their car to the Retailer and the Technician finds DTC B2A16 to be the only code
stored in the DCM.
• When the Technician attempts to repair the DTC according to the Service Manual Trouble Tree for
B2A16, the DCM ends up being replaced.
CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE
September 2019 TechTIPS Page 5 of 10
15 TELEMATICS RES FEATURE INOPERATIVE AND REVISED B2A16 DIAGNOSTICS (CONTINUED)
Actually, nearly all of these cases can be fixed without DCM replacement. SBR is working now to revise
the troubleshooting tree information to reflect this.
If DTC B2A16 code is found in the DCM,
start by registering the DCM with the
vehicle Immobilizer to avoid unnecessary
DCM replacement. Follow the instructions
found in the applicable Immobilizer manual.
See basic SSM screenshots for reference.
Once registered, confirm the RES function
of the Telematics system operates. The
customer will need to help with this as it
requires them to enter their PIN through
either the MySubaru web page or the
mobile MySubaru App.
If this resolves the condition and the
STARLINK Telematics RES feature now
works, clear the DTC and release the
vehicle.
NOTE: When selecting G, H, or I type,
the latest SSM4 software (July 2019
version or later) is required along with a
secure network connection. Please refer
to TSB:15-246-19 for details.
Finally, keep in mind following point.
Any time the KACM (keyless access
module) or DCM is replaced on a
STARLINK Gen2 Telematics – equipped
vehicle, the DCM must be registered
with the vehicle Immobilizer system.
Please refer to the applicable Immobilizer
Manual for the Model Year vehicle being
repaired. These can be found on STIS by
searching Online Publications, selecting
Publication Type: Other/Miscellaneous,
and searching for keyword “Immobilizer”.

16 2020MY LEGACY AND OUTBACK NEW CVT FLUID
With the launch of the 2020MY Legacy and Outback just around the corner, we want to make sure every
Technician is ready to service the new vehicles. The 2.5L naturally aspirated Outback and Legacy are
equipped with a new CVT that uses a new transmission fluid. This new fluid (CVTF-III) comes in a white
five-gallon pail with an orange lid to help distinguish it from all other CVT fluid packaging.
The color of the new fluid is blue/opaque. This fluid is only applicable to the 2020
Outback and Legacy naturally aspirated (non-turbo) vehicles. No other CVT fluids or
other transmission fluids can be used in its place.
18 ASCENT SUNSHADE REINITIALIZATION PROCEDURE CLARIFICATION
Confusion has arisen regarding the reinitialization procedure for the shade control module. Step 2 states
“Push and hold the sunroof switch (shade) ON until the shade assembly stops moving.” When referring
to the “ON” position, this means “OPEN.” The sunshade should be moved to the FULLY OPEN position,
rather than only until it stops. The Service Manual is pending clarification.
18 C1532 TROUBLE TREE CORRECTION
When diagnosing C1532, Step 3 may instruct per the image below:
(The stop light switch connector was already disconnected in Step 2.)
The two answers to the question “Is the reistance less than 1 M Ω?” are backwards. The Service Manual
should read, “Yes – Repair the stop light switch circuit.” and “No – Go to 4”. The incorrect step results
have been confirmed on STIS for 2017 Crosstrek, 2017 Impreza, and 2017 Forester. At this stage, it is
unclear how many model years are affected.
NOTE: If the vehicle has had the WUE-90 campaign for the Brake Lamp Switch Replacement completed,
it is necessary to unplug the brake light switch adapter harness to complete this step of the trouble tree.
