Service and Technical Support Line Newsletter ©2021 Subaru
of America, Inc. All rights reserved. 01 QMR of the Month We are pleased to announce this month’s QMR of the Month Winner: Leo Gilmore from Ruge’s Subaru
in Rhinebeck, NY This month’s winner selected from January 2021’s submissions involved the diagnosis and root cause identification of a Check Engine light with intermittent misfire DTCs on a 2020MY STI
. Leo began his diagnosis by contacting Techline to confirm the CID and CVN numbers for the ECM were SBR original. He then accessed the Roughness Monitors for all 4 cylinders. While recording, he marked the data stream whenever misfire counts were identified. Even when seeing the misfire counts occur on the SSM4, they were totally unnoticeable. Leo then moved on to connecting his scope and proceeded to monitor the waveform data for the crankshaft position sensor. Closer inspection revealed inconsistencies in the data when compared to a known-good vehicle’s pattern. Leo then removed the crankshaft position sensor for inspection and found engine oil on the internal portion which “reads” the reluctor teeth. After removing the front covers and the timing belt, the oil leak was identified to be coming from the front crank seal. He found this highly unusual, especially with only 2300 miles on the vehicle so, Leo proceeded to install a dial indicator to measure for any excessive radial freeplay of the crankshaft as a possible cause for the low-mileage seal failure. His suspicion was confirmed as the measurement showed .010 of radial freeplay when moving the end of the crankshaft up and down. This resulted in not only the seal failure / oil leak but the misfires too as the excessive freeplay caused inconsistencies in the distance between the reluctor teeth and the face of the crankshaft position sensor. Leo provided a short video showing his crankshaft measurement procedure, an SSM data file showing the roughness monitors and a highly detailed Powerpoint® presentation outlining all his diagnostic steps and test results. In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience with us, Leo will be receiving the following from his Field Service Engineer: $500.00 Snap-On gift card SUBARU

Techline If you receive a vehicle from the customer where all their originally registered keys have been lost, contact the Subaru
Techline for the necessary steps to program new keys. Depending on the immobilizer type, you will be unable to just program one key without an original key. All immobilizer types (except for A type) require an original key to make any changes to the immobilizer system. Without an original key, a new one cannot be added. Unsure of which immobilizer type you have? Refer to the reference chart below. Once the vehicles immobilizer type has been confirmed, perform the following: • Verify the vehicle is onsite. • Open a Repair Order with all necessary information. VIN, RO number, RO date, Mileage (if it can be obtained), etc. • Verify key type (push button, turn-key) • Contact the Subaru
Techline. When calling the Subaru
Techline, please ensure all necessary information is available at the time of the call. SOA will no longer clear immobilizer modules for POLK branded title vehicles (except for lemon law buy-back). All other POLK branding will require immobilizer component replacement. Refer to the Title Alert when checking the Vehicle Inquiry on Subarunet. Please refer to the Service Manual/Registration Manual for Immobilizer for repair of these vehicles. Anytime a retailer has a vehicle with lost keys, a NEW Techline case must be opened for EACH vehicle. The retailer will not be allowed to reuse the document sent for other vehicles. When Techline has components to clear, it is vital a completed form is sent. Without this information, the entire process will be delayed. Specific components have different procedures for clearing and without this information, the components may not be cleared at all or, additional down time may occur to determine their origin. See latest Immobilizer chart below: Continued on the next page March 2021 TechTIPS Page 4 of 11 02 Improved Diagnosis of Engine Oil Leakage, Leak Trace Powder Revisited When diagnosing a customer concern for an oil leak, it is always good practice to check for applicable TSBs for known concerns. If none are found, the next step would be to look at the vehicles repair history. Does the customer perform their own oil changes? Was oil spilled? Was the engine resealed recently? These details will aid in a quick and accurate diagnosis. Be thorough in the visual inspection process and inspect closely at the highest point of the leak. Oil will settle and pool at the lowest point. Here is an example: a Technician finds oil seepage and drips forming at the back of the oil pan and thought it was coming from the oil level switch gasket. So, the Technician removed the switch, cleaned the surrounding area, and replaced it. The customer returned a short time later with an oil leak in the exact same place. This time the Technician cleaned the oil/residue and used leak trace powder to determine the source and identified the leak was from the oil pan seal, NOT the level switch. After resealing the oil pan the vehicle was fixed and no more leaks were found. Continued on the next page March 2021 TechTIPS Page 5 of 11 Improved Diagnosis of Engine Oil Leakage, Leak Trace Powder Revisited (CONTINUED) 02 Here is another example. At first glance before cleaning, it appears the front timing cover is leaking. After cleaning and with the help of leak trace powder, it is properly identified that the head gaskets are leaking. This could have easily resulted in a costly shop comeback and a decline in customer satisfaction if misdiagnosed. If Technicians are able to identify any leaks, SOA is requesting a QMR be submitted with photos of the leaking point, and where leak trace powder has been applied for clear origin confirmation as shown above. Be sure to take several pictures both up close and far away so location and orientation are clearly understood. March 2021 TechTIPS Page 6 of 11 Continued on the next page Improved Diagnosis of Engine Oil Leakage, Leak Trace Powder Revisited (CONTINUED) 02 Reminder: Leak tracing powder is considered a shop supply and subject to Subaru
– Policies & Procedures 8.4.36 Shop Supplies. Dye is NOT an approved method of leak detection, unless explicitly directed. There are many kinds of powder spray available. Magnaflux SKD-S2 Developer is shown here. If these specific products are not readily available, in a pinch commonly available foot powder spray or any powder spray can be substituted for similar results. Refer to Tech Tips 4/11, 11/18 for additional information on Fluid Leak Detection. 05 Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Repair Procedure The Subaru
Claims Department has identified a trend involving improper repair procedure. There are instances of retailers identifying bushings within the front lower control arm as the source of customer concern related to NVH or drivability, then replacing the entire control arm assembly. The proper repair involves replacing the failed bushing(s) by following the service manual procedures. There are few reasons that a claim should be made to Subaru
to replace the entire arm instead of bushing replacement. Subaru
Claims Policy does not allow for damages resulting from an impact, accident, environmental factors, and other reasons listed in our Policies and Procedures Manual found on Subarunet. Failed bushing Bushing removal and installation procedure Note: Review STIS for the proper removal and installation tool applicable to the model being repaired. Suspension -> Front Suspension -> Disassembly/Reassembly, #2 Continued on the next page March 2021 TechTIPS Page 7 of 11 15 Blind Spot Detection Disabled, No DTCs found When diagnosing a blind spot detection concern that does not display a DTC, the Technician should consult the data monitor as the first step. SRVD System Fail & Halt flag PIDS are indicators of why the system has been disabled. Refer to Tech Tip 1/2018: Blind Spot Detection Off for additional information. If a fail flag or halt flag is present the Technician should inspect the vehicle for body damage in the rear corners. Evidence of an impact or signs of body shop work require a more in-depth inspection of the vehicle. If body shop work cannot be determined, the vehicle can be driven without the bumper cover to verify if the cover may be the cause. If the issue does not happen when the bumper is removed, there is a possibility that the bumper cover is at fault. If the halt or failure is still present without the bumper installed the tech should suspect the control module, harness, bracket, or body work behind the bracket. The SRVD modules can also be swapped from left to right and recalibrated. After another test drive the Technician should take note of whether the halt or failure follows the module or stays in the same location. If the fault follows the module, the module should be replaced. Evidence of body work includes poor paint coverage in corners, overspray, and tape lines. Continued on the next page March 2021 TechTIPS Page 8 of 11 15 CP1 Panel and Steering Switch, Knob Switch Checks Reminder: for infotainment related concerns, please always remember to review as applicable: Technical Support Guide, TSB 15-177-14R “Gen 2 and Gen 2.1 Operating Tips”, TSB 15-221-18R “Harman Audio/ Infotainment: Harman Generation 3.0 and 3.1 Operating Tips”, TSB 15-259-20R “ Denso Gen 4 Cockpit One (CP1) Infotainment System Operating TIPS Technical Support Guide”. Technicians have reported when performing Panel and Steering Switch function check, using “VOLUME” and “TUNE” knobs/switches located on the CID, the count appearing in “Turned” seems to be out of sync with the knob rotation. Be advised, this is normal operation. This behavior applies to both CID options 11.6” & 7”. The function’s purpose is to measure how many clicks are dialed in over a certain amount of time (1 sec), NOT accumulative dial counts. The number readout is directly linked to the speed of knob rotation. This function is set with the intention to confirm knob’s operability without malfunction. This test allows the Technician to know the direction of clicks (clockwise or counterclockwise) and its rotation speed (volume).
