January 2022 TechTIPS Page 1 of 9 Subaru Service and Technical Support Line Newsletter ©2022 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: Jeremy De Groodt from Capitol Subaru in San Jose, CA The winning QMR of the Month selected from November’s submissions provided a detailed diagnosis of a 2021Outback with no audio output from the infotainment system regardless of the selected source. While confirming the condition, Jeremy noticed the Telematics LED was illuminated red, indicating a fault. A check for DTCs with the SSM revealed DTC B2A06 in memory for the R/F speaker circuit. He attempted to perform an active test of the R/F speaker through the Telematics system but was unable to complete it as the PID shown indicated the output for the speaker was shorted. Jeremy proceeded to dig into the wiring between the DCM and the speaker, checking resistances and for any shorts to ground or to power with no problem found leading him to replace the DCM. After replacing the DCM, the LED returned to green and audio output was restored initially but during road testing, audio output was lost, the Telematics LED went back to being red and DTC B2A06 DTC returned. Techline was contacted and after reviewing the prior diagnostic steps taken, a recommendation was made to locate and inspect the connection where the R/F door harness joins the instrument panel harness at i29. Upon close inspection, a small puncture was found in the insulation of the violet wire. Jeremy ordered and installed a new R/F door wiring harness which restored normal audio and Telematics function. The TechShare report submitted included detailed results of each diagnostic test he performed. High quality photos were also included to document his findings. In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience and TechShare feedback with us, Jeremy 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 Articles Contained in this Issue Click on a title below to jump to the article.

Congratulations and THANK YOU to our November 2021 QMR of the Month Award recipient! Continued on the next page January 2022 TechTIPS Page 3 of 9 This series features TechTIPS articles frequently referred to by Techline. This month’s feature is from April 2020. 03 Squeak/Chirp Sound from High-Torque CVT When Shifting from P/N to D The High-Torque CVT equipped in the 2019+MY Ascent, 2015+MY Legacy/Outback 3.6R and XT, 2014-2018MY Forester XT, and 2015MY+ WRX (CVT equipped), may emit a brief squeak or chirp sound when shifting the transmission from park or neutral to drive. This sound is caused by the operation of the forward clutch, just before the clutch fully engages. The sound is caused by the clutch plate friction materials sliding against each other. These plates are designed to accept this type of contact. The sound does not affect the performance or reliability of the transmission and is characteristic of its operation so, no attempt should be made to try to repair it. It is important to ensure there are no DTCs stored as current or in history, there are no drivability concerns present and, the sound only occurs while the vehicle is stopped and under the conditions described above. Continued on the next page January 2022 TechTIPS Page 4 of 9 03 Hub Bearing and Backing Plate Replacement It has come to SOAs attention that Technicians are not replacing the backing plate when faced with hub bearing replacement. It is important to replace the backing plate along with the hub bearing assembly to avoid repeat bearing failures. TSB 05-70-19R is available to review this information. A portion of the TSB is shown here as a reference. Always consult the appropriate service manual on STIS and the most up to date Technical Service Bulletins when replacing parts. 07 Wiring Harness Ground Bolt Torque Spec When performing diagnostics or replacing vehicle wiring harnesses, verify all vehicle body ground bolts are torqued to spec. Vehicle body ground bolts are M6 and have an “E” (earth/ground) stamped on the bolt head. Be aware, these bolts may be used in other locations on the vehicle. Proper torque specification is 13 Nm (9.6 ft-lb). This does NOT include grounds that bolt to the engine, transmission, or other components that are not part of the vehicle body. Please see applicable section (ex: Transmission Assembly > Installation) in STIS for bolt torque specs on these components. January 2022 TechTIPS Page 5 of 9 15 2022MY Forester, HVAC Gesture Control A new feature that will be integrated into Subaru vehicles is Gesture Control. The driver will be able to make hand gestures to control HVAC features through the Driver Monitor System (DMS). The Gesture feature is designed so that the customer can change their temperature settings without taking their eyes of the road. To accomplish this the driver will place their hand in front of the occupant recognition sensor. The gesture of an open palm with the fingers spread will raise the temperature of the air conditioning while a gesture of a closed fist will lower the temperature. The customer should be aware that if they are wearing gloves it may interfere with the recognition of the gesture being made. If a customer has a concern that involves the intermittent changing of climate control features the Gesture Control may be the cause. The Technician should confirm that the feature is active and interview the customer to ensure that they are aware of its function and confirm that they know proper operation. Be sure to interview the customer about objects that are on the dash or rearview mirror area that they may remove when they drop off the vehicle as they may contribute to a false command being recognized. There has been confirmation that some objects hanging from the rearview mirror have triggered the Gesture Control to change settings. Technicians should confirm the concern by test driving the vehicle with all the customers items present in the vehicle. Once the concern has been duplicated a second test drive should be performed with objects such as parking passes, handicap placards, graduate tassels, or beads removed from the rearview mirror to confirm if they are associated with the customer concern. The Gesture Control can be temporarily turned off by the customer, but it requires them to turn off the Driver Monitor System. The system will turn back on if the ignition is cycled, or the driver’s door has been opened and closed. The Gesture Control can be disabled with SSM through Driver Monitor customization functions. Additional information regarding activation conditions.
