Congratulations and THANK YOU to our May 2022 QMR of the Month Award recipient! Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 3 of 13 12 Diagnosing Repeat P2762 and P2757 Techline has been receiving calls about repeat diagnosis and repair for DTCs P2762 and P2757. Technicians have reported multiple valve body, wiring harness and torque convertor replacements with no resolution. When faced with either DTC, it is very important to pay close attention and read the final steps of these trouble trees for proper diagnosis. Most Subaru trouble trees take Technicians through several tests and lead them to identify the problem. This usually results in part replacement or wire repair, etc. These trouble trees are somewhat unique, as they ask to replace a part AND continue to the next step of the trouble tree. This is because the Transmission Control Module (TCM) logic is unable to determine if the valve body or torque converter is at fault. It is unable to determine if there is a mechanical or hydraulic failure, causing the DTC to set. Therefore, the trouble tree advises to replace the likely faulted component and continue to the next step. This will also lead the Technician to perform a drive cycle in an attempt to reset the DTC. However, a Technician may not be able to drive the vehicle far enough to get the DTC to set in a timely manner. If the vehicle returns with the same DTC, perform the trouble tree again from the beginning, if you get to Step 9 or 10, DO NOT replace the valve body again. Continue to the next step. It is important to note if the Technicians diagnosis leads to replacing the torque converter, there are several one-time use seals that need to be replaced. Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 4 of 13 12 Diagnosing Repeat P2762 and P2757 (CONTINUED) Make sure to replace the oil seal (#1), O-ring (#4) and sealing ring (#5) as well as all other one-time use parts during R&R of the CVT assembly. The chain cover (#2) will need to be removed to replace the sealing ring. Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 5 of 13 12 Diagnosing Repeat P2762 and P2757 (CONTINUED) Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 6 of 13 12 Diagnosing Repeat P2762 and P2757 (CONTINUED) A final note: When performing the Lock-Up Duty Solenoid test in the trouble tree, the solenoid will need to be activated through the work support active test. The test does not cycle the solenoid on and off from 0 – 50%. Instead, the Technician will need to choose a duty percentage for the solenoid to activate to. Once selected and the active test started, a buzzing sound will emit from the solenoid activating. A stethoscope at the valve body cover may be needed to hear operation. The default setting for the test will be 0%. A duty percentage will need to be selected. Then select start. The above shows a graphed display of the solenoid activation. Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 7 of 13 14 Special Tools – Denso USB Cable & ECM/TCM Reprogramming Techline continues to receive calls from Technicians that are unable to perform basic tasks when using the Subaru Select Monitor. A heavy emphasis has been made about using Originally Equipped Denso USB cables when performing any task with the SSM, especially FlashWrite reprogramming. At this time, there are no approved/tested aftermarket or 3rd party cables that can be used in place of a Denso cable. It is unknown if aftermarket cables have the capabilities necessary to perform ALL SSM4 tasks. Reports from the field of no communication with control modules, software updates crashing, and error messages being displayed, has resulted in unrecoverable control modules leading to unnecessary part replacement. These conditions have been identified and are directly related to the use of aftermarket USB cables. SOA would like to remind everyone to always use Originally Equipped Denso USB Cables when using the SSM4 and DST-i box. Shown here are examples from the field of cable conditions that could cause problems. When performing FlashWrite Reprogramming, Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) highly recommends connecting either the Subaru Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System or the Subaru Midtronics GR8-100 Diagnostic Battery Charger to the vehicle and utilizing the Power Supply Mode feature to supply a stable 13.5 volts. Once the Midtronics charger is connected to the vehicle, if the battery is fully charged, it takes less than three (3) minutes to boot-up the charger, select the Power Supply Mode, and have the battery voltage stabilized and ready for reprogramming. Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 8 of 13 14 Special Tools – Denso USB Cable & ECM/TCM Reprogramming (CONTINUED) The table below outlines the purpose of error codes seen during reprogramming and a procedure to complete in an effort to recover the programming process if it becomes interrupted. Refer to the TechTIP from 2/20 here (page 8-10) about recovery procedures when an update fails. Refer to the 7/29/22 announcement here on Subarunet about TCM damage while performing WRK-21, which includes this message: Retailers are cautioned, if a TCM is damaged because of faulty equipment or incorrect procedures followed as part of the WRK programming update, the resulting debit would include BOTH the costs related to the TCM as well as the CVT assembly since damaging the TCM would require an automatic replacement of the CVT since the slip mileages cannot be retrieved. Replacements for damaged/missing USB cables can be ordered directly through www.SubaruDT.com. Once on the site, navigate to: Products-> Essential Tools-> Denso DST-I USB Cable 5135. Contact Subaru Dealer Technologies to order genuine Denso parts. Pricing is available in the RISE hyperlink under Service Operations & Technical in Subarunet.com. Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 9 of 13 14 Special Tools – Denso USB Cable & ECM/TCM Reprogramming (CONTINUED) In addition, a cable spacer and lock clip are available to help prevent damage/movement to the cables and ports. The larger SDI DLC Link Cable 5002 can also be found here. 05 Ascent Noise from Rear Over Bumps or When Turning If a customer has a noise from the rear of the vehicle over bumps or when turning, do not forget to check the spare tire installation and pressure. Over time the tire may lose some pressure which could result in it not being firmly seated against the body. Spare tire pressure should be checked during regular service along with the other tires. Additionally, if the tire was recently used or replaced, it may not be firmly seated allowing movement under certain conditions. Below are links to two QMRs with videos showing the concern. https://subarutechshare.com/qmrs/TS-187733 https://subarutechshare.com/qmrs/TS-202793 NOTE: Never use air or power tools to lower or raise the spare tire as this can cause damage to the internal mechanism and/or cable of the hoist. Only the spare tire lug wrench included with the vehicle should be used to raise or lower the spare tire (May 2019 TechTIPS). Continued on the next page July 2022 TechTIPS Page 10 of 13 15 Version 4 Eyesight and Immobilizer Registration, U1C00 It is important to note that for vehicles equipped with Version 4 Eyesight and a Gateway Control Module, registration may be required during stereo camera replacement. Refer to the applied model installation process on STIS for complete instructions. Below is an example of instructions that include the registration process. The registration menu can be found under Immobilizer registration on the SSM. This must be completed before performing the camera adjustment and inspection procedure.
