01 QMR of the Month
We are pleased to announce this month’s Winner of QMR of the Month:
Brandon Moller from
Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru in Orangeburg, NY
The winning QMR Brandon submitted described a 2018 Impreza
with an unusual customer concern of the windshield wipers coming
on intermittently without any switch input from the driver. At first,
he was unable to confirm the condition but, after repeated attempts
and opening / closing the driver’s door to add some extra vibration,
the wipers came on erratically at 1-3 second intervals and with the
switch in the OFF position. After connecting the SSM to confirm
proper wiper switch input to the BIU, he verified the ON signal but,
it would intermittently switch to OFF for a split second which he
documented in his report by supplying a video attachment. Wiring
checks between the harness connectors at the switch and the BIU
were all normal with no shorts to power, ground or any abnormal
resistance found. Brandon suspected the wiper switch as the root
cause but before replacing it, he performed comparison resistance
and continuity checks between a new and the suspect part to
successfully confirm his suspicion. Normal wiper operation was
restored by replacing the faulty switch. Brandon’s report included
an additional video of the wipers operating erratically along with
detailed results and photos of the testing he performed prior to
replacing the switch.
In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience
with us, Brandon will be receiving the following from his Field Service
Engineer.

This series features TechTIPS articles frequently referred to by Techline. This month’s feature is from
November 2018.
05 NEW MODEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS
As new models are released, Technicians often find their alignment machines do not have the
alignment most up-to-date specifications stored. To ensure a vehicle handles properly and to provide
the highest quality repair for our customers, it is imperative to properly adjust alignment angles to
specification. Alignment specifications are found in every Service Manual by clicking Suspension
> Front Suspension > Wheel Alignment > Inspection. Once you have the specifications, you
can enter them into your alignment equipment. If you are unsure how to manually enter alignment
specifications, please contact your equipment supplier.
REMINDER: Always ensure your alignment software is up to date. Never use incorrect specifications.
07 2019MY and up Forester MFD Displays Incorrect Vehicle Angle
Technicians have been encountering a customer
concern of the MFD is always displaying the
vehicle pitch and/or yaw at a value other than 0
degrees even when parked on a seemingly level
surface. Diagnosis for this concern should start
with examining the Auto Headlight Beam Leveler
Control Module.
The MFD receives this information from the Auto
Headlight Beam Leveler Control Module. The
Headlight control module installation is key for
proper operation. The module is located above
the steering column in the driver’s front footwell
area. Check the mounting bolt and bracket to
ensure both are secure, and the bracket has not
been moved, bent or otherwise damaged.
After determining the mount is properly installed,
make sure to complete the reinitialization
procedure. This can be found in Body &
Electrical/Wiring > Lighting System >
Auto Headlight Beam Leveler System >
Procedure.

07 Ascent Sunroof and Sunshade Motors
When replacing a sunroof frame, or during any sunroof diagnosis, it is imperative to ensure the sunroof
and sunshade motors are installed correctly. The motor for the shade and the glass look interchangeable
but, this is not the case as there are distinct internal differences. Also, the connectors for the motors
are the same shape which allows them to be easily installed incorrectly. Refer to the Service Manual to
ensure the correct motor is installed to each location and the correct connector is plugged in to each
motor.
Go to Body & Electrical/WIRING SYSTEM
> SUNROOF/T-TOP/ CONVERTIBLE TOP
(SUNROOF) > Sunroof Motor > REMOVAL for
motor identification.
AD41 and AD42 are the connectors for the
sunshade and sunroof motors. Notice the wire
colors and pin positions are identical, except
pin number eight. AD41 pin eight has a green
wire whereas AD42 pin eight has a blue wire.

07 Power Rear Gate (PRG) Inoperative with Ignition ON and / or Engine Running
If a vehicle presents with a customer concern of the PRG only working when the ignition is OFF, check
the PID for the Park switch. If the PID shows the Park signal is OFF, the PRG will not operate. This
keeps the PRG from operating when the vehicle is in motion. The Park signal must be ON for the PRG to
operate. The problem was found to be contamination in the Park-Range switch located in the selector
lever assembly. See TSB 16-112-18R and the June 2017 issue of TIPS for more related information.
12 Rattle Sound from Steering Wheel Area
Late model Subaru vehicles have many different components installed to the steering wheel. Each
component has its respective wiring harness. When diagnosing a customer’s concern of a rattle noise
coming from the steering wheel area it is important to confirm the wiring harnesses are routed correctly.
Use this check point guide to confirm all wiring harnesses are routed appropriately.

14 Errors when Programming with Flashwrite®2
Several retailers have reported issues with FlashWrite®2 while reprogramming vehicles. Please review
the following TIPS to prevent and/or correct some of these issues.
VERIFY YOUR SUBARU SELECT MONITOR SOFTWARE VERSION
First, open the Subaru Select Monitor 4 program, select the bottom left gear icon> Help> Version
Information.
The SSM4 version number is listed as “Ver.xx.x.x” and is displayed in the red box in the photo below.
If your version is before 20.1.1 it needs to be updated (as of February 2020.) Please contact Nuspire at:
(844) 782-7404 for update assistance.
“NOT SUITABLE FOR REPROGRAMMING” MESSAGE
If you encounter a ‘Not Suitable for Reprogramming’
message during a reprogramming session, verify
there are no DTCs stored. The Techline has received
numerous calls with this concern. After verifying
the correct PAK file had been selected and getting
the ‘Not Suitable’ message, a P-code was found
stored in ECM memory. After addressing the DTC
and clearing the memory, the update completed
normally.
February 2020 TechTIPS Page 8 of 13

14 Errors when Programming with Flashwrite®2 (Continued)
“ERROR OCURRED IN THE DECRYPTION. CHECK THE DECRYPTION KEYWORD” MESSAGE
Error code 108 occurs when the Decryption Keyword is not entered correctly or when the incorrect PAK
file is selected. If you get Error 108, first ensure you are entering the decryption keyword as it is written
as they are, case sensitive. If you are sure you have entered the correct Decryption Keyword, ensure
you are using the correct PAK file. Sometimes, a database error may occur and provide the incorrect
PAK file. To make sure this is not the case, try searching by the Vehicle Specification if you initially
searched by CID, or search by CID if you initially searched by Vehicle Specification. If you find the PAK
number differs based on the type of search, submit a QMR with screenshots or photos of the condition.
CONTROL MODULE RECOVERY PROCEDURE
NOTE: The same laptop must be used to recover the control module that was in use when
reprogramming had failed.
There are several reasons why reprogramming may fail: low vehicle battery, loss of electrical power
to the laptop or vehicle, dislodged OBD2 or USB cables, etc. In most cases it is NOT necessary to
replace the Engine Control Module (ECM.) The following procedure should be used to recover an ECM
which has failed to program. Prior to performing this procedure, ensure your laptop, DST-I, and all
cables are in proper working order. If you have issues with the hardware, contact Nuspire support at
(877) 782-7404 for assistance with any needed repairs.
Recovery procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position for at
least 15 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch back to the “ON” position and
restart FlashWrite®2.
3. Proceed with the appropriate file selection for the
vehicle specification.
4. Once FlashWrite®2 begins to communicate with the
vehicle, the following message will be displayed with
the appropriate control module part number displayed:
Click on the part number to highlight it. THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
February 2020 TechTIPS Page 9 of 13
Continued on the next page
14 Errors when Programming with Flashwrite®2 (Continued)
5. Select “Yes” and FlashWrite®2 will show the current and new control module part number screen.
6. Select “Execute” and FlashWrite®2 will begin the reprogramming process.
7. If you incorrectly answer the “Is reprogramming in process?” question “NO”, you will receive error
code 4007 “No response from the ECU. Check the cause of no response.”
8. If this is the case, turn the ignition switch off for at least 15 seconds and begin the recovery
process again.
NEXT STEPS
After verifying the previous procedures and confirming they do not correct the reprogramming
issues, contact Nuspire support at (844) 782-7404. They will verify if your Subaru laptop system
is up to date and functioning properly. If not, they will refer you to the Subaru Technical Helpline
(866) SUBARU-2.
HELP FOR OTHER ERROR CODES
FlashWrite®2 is capable of setting many different error codes. Their definitions and check items are not
published to STIS. To find the definitions and check items select the bottom left gear icon> Help>
Help
This will open the SSM4 user guide. Error code definitions and check items are listed under “Control
Module Reprogramming Error Code List.”

- CEL Doctor: The ANCEL AD310 is one of the best-selling OBD II scanners on the market and is recommended by Scotty Kilmer, a YouTuber and auto mechanic. It can easily determine the cause of the check engine light coming on, quickly read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, read live data & hard memory data, view freeze frame, I/M monitor readiness and collect vehicle information. Instead of taking car to mechanic shop, you can use it to check the trouble code and show code definition by yourself.
