SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION: DTC B2256 indicates a communication problem between the DCM and the Cockpit Control Module. The trouble tree below should be followed to prevent misdiagnosis of B2256. NOTE: No diagnosis of B2256 should occur before a FULL SYSTEM SCAN has been completed and the Telematics system is confirmed to be DTC free. The presence of any Telematics DTCs would predicate diagnosing and repairing the Telematics fault before continuing the B2256 diagnosis. Failure to ensure the Telematics system is trouble-free will result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement. 1. CHECK DTC. 1.Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Cockpit Control]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAGNOSTICS)>Clear memory 2.Turn the ignition switch OFF → ON. 3. Read the DTC of [Cockpit Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref to COCKPIT CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) >Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Is DTC B2256 displayed? (Current code) YES: Go to Step 2: Check Connector and Cable Connection (Open Circuit) NO: Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
