01 QMR OF THE MONTH
We are pleased to announce this month’s Winner of QMR of the Month:
Daniel Anderson from
Stohlman Subaru in Vienna, VA
Daniel submitted an excellent QMR detailing his diagnosis and repair
of a second-row captain’s chair in a new 2019MY Ascent. The seat
would not slide forward or backward and, the lever to lift the seat
forward to gain easier 3rd row access was also inoperative. After
checking for any obstructions under the seat that could be causing the
condition, Daniel noticed the left side release arm for the slide was
stuck in the down position, appeared to be bent and looked like it was
missing a small plastic insert which keeps in place. After straightening
the arm enough to release the mechanism, he was able to remove the
seat from the vehicle for closer inspection. Daniel determined there
was 2 separate issues. The first was the missing plastic insert from the
release arm which caused the sliding mechanism to jam. Fortunately,
the missing insert is available separately from the mechanism. After
installation of a replacement insert and careful straightening of the
release lever, normal operation of the slide mechanism was restored.
The second issue was the cable attached to the release lever that
operates the mechanism allowing the seat to be lifted for 3rd row
access was not attached. Daniel secured the cable to the lever with
another cable tie which corrected the condition. He reinstalled the
seat in the vehicle and confirmed all the functions of the seat were
now operating as designed.
Daniel submitted a highly detailed report outlining his repairs and
accompanied it with quality before and after photographs of the
affected components.
In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience
with us, Daniel will be receiving the following from his Field Service
Engineer:
A $500.00 Snap-On gift card.

01 2019MY FORESTER QUALITY MONITORING TEAM NEW MODEL LAUNCH
A Special SBR Quality Monitoring Team is currently in the USA monitoring the launch of this muchanticipated
new model. The Team is very interested in EVERYTHING related to this new vehicle. They
are looking for specific and detailed information on EVERY condition identified. Naturally, this includes
any repairs performed. It also includes cases when a customer comments on a function or condition
considered to be a normal operational characteristic. This includes any improvement opportunities
where some feature or function could be made even better. We are asking you to be our eyes and
ears with this new model.
For high priority, unusual, or serious concerns, we ask that you call SOA’s Techline and open a new
case. When calling, be sure to have Freeze Frame Data (saved electronically, not a printout) or SSM
data streams where applicable. It is crucial to also include troubleshooting tree results from the
Service Manual found during diagnosis.
QMRs are the best and preferred reporting method for communicating any new model feedback.
When submitting a QMR, please remember to include any Freeze Frame Data (electronically, not
a printout) or SSM data streams where applicable. It is crucial to also include troubleshooting tree
results from the Service Manual found during diagnosis. Photos and videos, where practical, of the
condition prior to repair are also extremely helpful for the team to fully understand the condition.
Provide as much detail as possible on the customer complaint, the actual condition found, and all
findings. Your detailed feedback is strongly requested and greatly appreciated. These items are crucial
so the team can accurately understand the condition and how to address it.
While there is no guarantee a change will occur based upon any individual report, we can guarantee
nothing will happen if we don’t know about it. Our request is to report EVERYTHING, even if it seems
to be just a small or straightforward repair.
QMRs, Techline Cases, CRS Cases and Warranty Claims are being reviewed daily. Team Members
may contact Retailer personnel for additional details, photos, videos, part collections, or to arrange an
on-site inspection. We ask for your cooperation in quickly responding to these requests for additional
information. Please save all removed parts no matter how small, including gaskets, clips, fasteners,
any filtered sediments, or other small bits and pieces. The rule of thumb is, if you report it or claim it,
save it (including any drained fluids).
Please note, questions may come to you regardless if an QMR is submitted or not so, please keep
detailed notes on all repairs.
As a reminder, QMRs must never be used to request escalation of a repair, request information,
or for any other purpose than to notify SOA of a new or trending condition. Authorization or Repair
Escalation Requests must always go through normal channels for the fastest, most efficient handling.
Paint or Glass Authorization requests must go through the Techline Authorization System on
Subarunet. All other authorizations must be reviewed in advance with your DPSM.
We THANK YOU all in advance for your great support and assistance in making this launch
successful.

2019MY FORESTER: AUTO START-STOP AND DRIVER MONITOR SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC
01 INFORMATION
The new 2019MY Forester is equipped with the Auto Start-Stop system which under the right
conditions, shuts the engine off when the vehicle is stopped then restarts it when pulling away from
the stop. Another new feature is the Driver Monitor System (DMS) which actually monitors the driver’s
eyes for signs of fatigue and when determined necessary, activates audible and visual warnings to
help keep the driver alert.
The TCM supports the Data Monitor function for the Auto Start-Stop system. Currently, the Service
Manual text for the related prohibition Reference values are listed as “Permit” or “Not Permit” but the
SSM displays them as “ON” or “OFF”. Until corrections are made, “ON” means “Permit” and “OFF”
means “Not Permit”. See the reference images below:
SSM Screenshot
Service Manual
The DMS system is supported by the Data Communication Module (DCM). The error involves
incorrect cancel code time stamp data. The repair will be to reprogram the DCM with a file included
in a future SSM update release.
Incorrect Time Stamp Values

07 ASCENT AUTOMATIC WIPER RAIN SENSOR INITIALIZATION
Whenever the Rain Sensor is removed or replaced, initialization of the sensor must be performed.
Currently, for 2019MY Ascent, the Automatic Light and Wiper (ALW) control module does not display
as an available system on SSM4 (ver. July 2018). Setting the SSM4 software as a 17MY Legacy/
Outback will allow access to the Ascent ALW CM and calibration can be performed. As a workaround
until SSM4 is updated, please follow the steps below:
1. Open SSM4 and select Diagnosis
2. Enter the Vehicle Information as 17MY Legacy / Outback
3. Connect DST-I to the ODB connector
4. From Each System select Automatic Light and Wiper
5. From Work Support select Sensor initial setting
If you encounter any trouble with the procedure above, please contact Techline for assistance.
11 2019MY ASCENT: DTC P0606, CONTROL MODULE PROCESSOR: DIAGNOSTIC HINTS
The Techline has received a small number of reports regarding DTC P0606 where following the
Service Manual diagnostic steps has not isolated the root cause of the DTC. To properly diagnose
this DTC, it is important to understand the cause is a discrepancy between the actual engine torque
value and the engine torque value as calculated by the ECM. Related field reports also outline
where P0606 was stored and the root cause was determined to be loose or missing hardware for the
intercooler piping which resulted in a boost pressure leak. In a case where the actual engine torque
is reduced, as it would be when a boost leak is present, a stored DTC P0606 may result. While the
Service Manual currently directs the Technician to perform various electrical tests first, the diagnostics
will be revised to include instruction to inspect for any boost pressure leak between the turbocharger
and the throttle body.
To summarize, if a vehicle presents with a stored DTC P0606, always be sure to start by inspecting
and confirming all turbocharger pressure side and intercooler piping hardware is in place, properly
secured and fully tightened before proceeding further with any electrical testing.
15 FUJITSU/DENSO 10 IPHONE CONTACT PICTURE DISPLAY- UPDATE
In the June 2018 TechTIPS, we provided the contact photo specifications for Gen 2 & 2.1 D10 (formerly
F10) head units. The Techline continues to receive calls about picture contact concerns. According to
investigation by D10, this is a compatibility issue due to a specification change of iPhone. The image
data format was changed starting from OS 11.3 and the new format is no longer compatible with Gen 2 &
2.1 head units for images larger than 800 bytes. D10 has implemented an enhancement to be available
in the next software update. This is tentatively planned for released in December 2018. Installation of an
exchange or new head unit will not correct this condition currently.

15 SIRIUS XM LIST AND VOICE TUNING CONCERNS ON GEN. 2 & 2.1 DENSO (D10) AUDIO UNITS
When using the list function to display available channels, only two channels (Ch000 and Ch001) are
displayed. After an SXM programming update in August 2018, it was found that the D10 Gen 2 and 2.1
head units were not capable of handling the new line-up due to a software limitation of the head units.
Please note the number of received channels varies upon the SXM subscription package. The actual
number of receivable channels may also change depending on the current SXM channel line-up. At this
moment, only customers with the full subscription package are affected by the condition as that lineup
contains more than 256 channels. Impacted customers may still use either the direct tune functionality,
the radio tune knob, or save their favorites to their presets. D10 has implemented an enhancement to
be available in the next software update. This is tentatively planned for released in December 2018.
Installation of an exchange or new head unit will not correct this condition currently.
2019MY IMPREZA/CROSSTREK REMOTE ENGINE START (KEY START) – CONTROL MODULE
INSTALLATION 15
Vehicles & Remote Engine Start Kits (RES) Affected:
• 2019MY Impreza/Crosstrek with Key Start Ignition – H001SFL400
• 2019MY Impreza/Crosstrek with Key Start Ignition – (Permanent Fix – Coming soon)
Current Condition: If proper care is not used when
mounting the RES Control Module, the RES connector/
harness could come in contact with a factory metal bracket
following reassembly. SOA recommends a quick visual
inspection of this area once the glove box
inner cover is replaced. See below, Figure CC.
Also note:

2019MY IMPREZA/CROSSTREK REMOTE ENGINE START (KEY START) – CONTROL MODULE
INSTALLATION 15
Long Term Solution: Refer to the updated H001SFL400 Installation Instructions, Issue 01 (Dated:
July 25, 2018) to ensure the revised ECU mounting procedures are followed. The installation
instructions illustrate how to mount the ECU ½” lower to avoid any contact with the factory metal
bracket after reassembly. See below, Figure P.
SERVICE MANUAL CORRECTION: REAR TRANSMISSION CROSSMEMBER / TRANSMISSION
MOUNT REMOVAL- IMPREZA AND CROSSTREK CVT MODELS 16
When removing the rear transmission crossmember to replace the cushion mounts on a 2017-18MY
Impreza or 2018MY Crosstrek, removal of the rear exhaust pipe (pipe between the spring bolt
connection and front muffler) is required, NOT the front pipe as currently directed by the Service Manual.
The applicable Service Manuals will be updated with this change soon.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
• Whenever removing the rear crossmember, always support the transmission with a
transmission jack.
• NEVER support the transmission by the oil pan.
• Always use new gaskets and the specified one-time use nuts whenever re-installing exhaust
components.
• Torque all hardware to proper specification.
