February 2021 TechTIPS Page 1 of 9 Subaru 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: Diego Rubio-Rodriguez from Subaru of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, NV The winning Quality Monitoring Report selected from December’s submissions involved the diagnosis and repair of a 2020 Ascent with a customer concern of multiple warning lights in the combination meter and the EyeSight indicator coming on intermittently. Diego’s initial inspection for DTCs revealed a U1235 for Lost Communication with EyeSight. He began by connecting his scope to check both the low and high-speed CAN wiring at the EyeSight camera harness connector, R137. From there, he removed the driver’s A-pillar trim to access the i157 / R50 connector. With his scope still connected, he found the low speed CAN readings would fluctuate wildly when wiggling the harness connector but, the R96 / i19 connection is right next to i157 / R50. After a closer inspection of both connectors, pin 6 of i19 had backed out of the connector body due to a broken lock tab. A temporary repair was made to confirm the cause of the condition had been isolated before Diego proceeded to order the affected instrument panel harness. After installation of the replacement instrument panel harness, normal operation of all systems was restored. Diego provided a short video showing his scope patterns along with numerous photos of the failed pin terminal in support of his test results. In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience with us, Diego will be receiving the following from his Field Service Engineer: $500.00 Snap-On gift card SUBARU TECHLINE HOLIDAYS & HOURS OF OPERATION Mon. – Thurs. 8:30AM – 7:30PM EST Friday 10:30AM – 5:00PM EST Saturday 9:00AM – 3:00PM EST The Subaru TechTIPS newsletter is intended for use by professional Technicians ONLY.

February 2021 TechTIPS Page 3 of 9 Continued on the next page This series features TechTIPS articles frequently referred to by Techline. This month’s feature is from June 2015. 01 Combination Meter and BIU shipments to SOA If it becomes necessary to send in a BIU, combination meter, or any other component during the course of a Techline correspondence please ensure that you or the person packaging the box takes the time to review the following. • Did you use enough bubble wrap to properly protect the Combination Meter from damage during shipping? • Is the box large enough to ensure the bubble wrap will keep the Combination Meter protected during shipping? • Is the BIU wrapped and away from the Combination Meter to avoid damage or scratches? • Did you include a copy of the fax form in the box with your return address? Packing materials we suggest you avoid using: • Styrofoam packing peanuts • Inflated bags 06 C1921 – Electronic Parking Brake Inoperative DTC detecting condition: • A fault is detected if the switch was positioned at lock or release continuously for 90 seconds while the vehicle is stopped. • A fault is detected if an irregular switch condition continues for a predetermined period of time immediately after the switch position is changed. A fault is also detected if the switch condition is not confirmed afterwards. • A fault is detected if the switch harness is open or shorted. Continued on the next page February 2021 TechTIPS Page 4 of 9 06 C1921 – Electronic Parking Brake Inoperative (CONTINUED) When diagnosing a C1921 trouble code, be sure to thoroughly inspect the EPB switch. Since the switch is in close proximity to the center console cup holders, there is higher chance for debris and liquids to contaminate the switch assembly. When this happens, the result can be a DTC set or an inoperative EBP/switch. Sticky contaminates, such as spilled soda, can cause the switch to be ‘held’ also resulting in a DTC. If this is the case, do not attempt to clean the switch, it should be replaced. 15 Homelink Mirror, No Operation with Key Off Techline recently received an inquiry about a customer’s Homelink Mirror not operating when the key is in the off position. This was compared to like vehicles, where the operation was found with the key off. After investigating and discussing further with the supplier, the additional battery power to operate with the key off is not supplied to certain mirror assemblies. This depends on how the mirror was installed. • Accessory installed Homelink mirrors- Will Not operate with key in the off position. • Factory installed Homelink mirrors- Will operate with key in the off position. This is considered normal operation. Therefore, if faced with this concern, the Technician should check the vehicle inquiry to see which method the mirror was installed. Continued on the next page February 2021 TechTIPS Page 5 of 9 15 Failed RES: Reference Error Code SER-4357 Telematics Remote Engine Start (RES) is a very popular feature seeing high volume use especially during the cold winter and hot summer months. For example, during January 2021, customers made over five million RES requests! Because customers rely heavily on this feature, a clear understanding of the details is vital whenever diagnosing a failed RES concern. Diagnosing Telematics RES concerns can be challenging due to the lack of diagnostic trouble codes to indicate where diagnosis should begin. However, there are error messages which can appear on the MySubaru APP that may contain valuable information to help with diagnosis. If the customer arrives with a concern of RES requests are failing, one of the first questions should be is, what message appeared on the MySubaru APP following the failure? A screen capture of any messages that appear is valuable for reference and may be necessary when contacting Techline. An example of a message displayed following a failed RES request referencing an error code is shown here. Reference Error code SER-4357 indicates “negative acknowledgment” meaning although the vehicle has successfully received the RES request, there is a vehicle side system preventing engine start. Once the SER-4357 error message has been confirmed the on the customer’s phone, perform the preliminary diagnostic steps below: 1. Confirm the Telematics LED is GREEN. 2. Confirm proper operation of the power door locks. 3. Using the SSM4, verify the BIU indicates all the doors are locked. 4. Confirm proper operation of all door latch switches. 5. Using the SSM4, verify the BIU indicates all the door latches change from closed to open and vice-versa. 6. Verify the vehicle indicates it is in Park when the selector is in the Park position. 7. Using the SSM4, verify Park is indicated across all control modules consistently TCM, ECM, BIU, and KACM. 8. Verify the Push-button Start indicator functions as expected by illuminating GREEN when depressing the brake pedal with the engine OFF. 9. If Steps 1 – 8 are confirmed to be operating properly as indicated, contact Techline for assistance with additional diagnostic steps. Technicians need to ensure all the systems outlined above work properly as preconditions to a successful RES. If all the vehicle’s side systems are functioning as expected, there are conditions on the back end infrastructure which may be the root cause of the failure but present no indication. These back end causes can only be addressed by opening a Techline case. Technicians faced with a RES concern and a vehicle that is otherwise operating as expected should contact Techline BEFORE any additional diagnosis, parts replacement or unnecessary repairs which may result in extended downtime. Continued on the next page February 2021 TechTIPS Page 6 of 9 15 Software Version Verification 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.” When confirming CP1 system software version information, it is critical to allow the unit to finish the boot-up process before accessing the version information screen. Failure to allow the process to complete could result in missing version information or asterisk symbols (****) as shown below. A good practice would be to wait a minimum of 3 minutes after the boot-up process begins at key on for this information to load properly. However, this should not be confused with no “RAD_SW” version and “DSP_FW” version displayed or showing asterisk symbols (****) AFTER waiting for the system to completely boot-up. That would be a sign of a failed software update. For more details see Subarunet announcement “Recall WRH-20 / WRI-20 Denso Gen 4 CP1 software update. Critical points to avoiding unnecessary hardware replacement” posted January 5, 2021. Note: Deck version as asterisk symbols (****) is normal when a CD Player is not installed.
