Instead of taking your cars to dealership, this FOXWELL scanner will help you do a thorough scanning and detection for your cars and pinpoint the root cause. Note：The device is a diagnostic tool, not a repair tool. To turn off a warning light, you must first physically repair the issue causing it.

[Solid protective case KO plastic carrying bag] + [Lifetime update] Almost all same price-level car scanner diagnostic tool only offers plastic bag to hold the scanner.However, NT604 Elite automotive scanner is equipped with solid protective case, preventing your obd2 scanner from damage. Then you don’t need to pay extra money to buy a solid toolbox.

November 2014 TechTIPS Page 1 Subaru Service and Technical Support Line Newsletter November 2014 The Subaru TechTIPS newsletter is intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. Articles are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that your vehicle has or will have that condition. Impreza, Legacy, Justy, Loyale, Outback, Forester, Subaru SVX, WRX, WRX STI, L.L. Bean, Baja, Tribeca, BRZ, XV Crosstrek and “Quality Driven” are Registered Trademarks. ISO 14001 is the international standard for excellence in Environmental Management Systems. Please recycle or dispose of automotive products in a manner that is friendly to our environment and in accordance with all local, state and federal laws and regulations.

Larry submitted a very detailed QMR on his diagnosis and repair of a sunroof rattle found on a 2015 Outback resulting from a missing sunroof frame mounting bracket. Larry included clear photos of his findings that proved very helpful to the 2015 Legacy/ Outback Special Quality Team. By the way the Special Quality Team activity has been extended to January, 2015, so please keep those QMRs coming on any new (or repeating) conditions encountered. The ONLY way to be absolutely sure that WE know what YOU know is if YOU enter a QMR. In appreciation for going the extra mile and sharing his experience with us in hopes of improving product quality, Larry will be receiving the following from his FSE: Any Subaru Service Technician can participate in QMR of the Month.

All rights reserved. 2014 CALENDAR OF SUBARU HOLIDAYS Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, 2014 Friday, November 28, 2014* Happy Holidays Thursday, December 25, 2014 Friday, December 26, 2014 * Techline Hours of operation will be from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm EST. November 2014 TechTIPS Page 2 Techline has received several glass repair authorization requests where the interior rear view mirror has separated from the windshield and in the process, pulled some glass from the windshield. This type of failure is a result of abnormal (high shear) force being applied to the mirror. The mirror mounting is designed to meet the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) for required separation in the event of specified impact forces being applied to it during a collision to reduce bodily injury. These forces exceed the normally applied forces found during standard mirror adjustment. The application of high shear force to the mirror through sudden, forceful movements or an unusual level of force being applied against the mirror when it reaches or has reached the end limit of its range of travel, may duplicate the force required to cause the mirror to shear from the windshield. This type of separation is not a result of any defect in the windshield glass and therefore not eligible for authorization through the Techline glass authorization process. If you believe some unusual circumstances occurred beyond the control of the customer resulting in this condition, those facts should be reviewed with your DPSM. Example photos showing the mirror base and windshield glass following application of high (unusual) shear force and the expected results. This will not occur during normal mirror adjustment. 01 INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR SEPARATION November 2014 TechTIPS Page 3 07 DARK CURRENT DRAW REVISITED When checking a vehicle for dark current or excessive battery draw, it is important to know the specified limit on the vehicle you are working on. Older model Subaru vehicles generally have a maximum limit of 150 milliamps (mA). Newer model vehicles, those equipped with a BIU (Body Integrated Unit) have a much lower specified draw of 70 mA. All battery testing should be done after allowing the vehicle to sit for at least 5 minutes, so that all timers are shut down. There are several Tech Tips and Technical Service Bulletins to assist you with testing for excessive battery draw. The Tech Tip Newsletter articles on this subject can be found in the February 2007, April 2007 and June 2009 editions. The Technical Service Bulletins are 07-62-07 and the recently released 07-85-14. Please make sure you review these documents when you are confronted with a customer concern of their vehicle battery going dead or after the vehicle sits for long periods of time and needs to be jump started. 07 BLUETOOTH PRE-CALL WORKSHEET Please be advised there is a newly-released Bluetooth Pre-Call Worksheet which has been posted to Subarunet. This worksheet can be found under the Service/Pre-Call Worksheets area of Subarunet. When you receive a customer concern that the Bluetooth system is not working properly, please use this worksheet to interview them and fully understand the complaint. After diagnosing the issue, if you still cannot figure out the problem, contact Techline. Starting with this announcement, all calls related to Bluetooth issues will require this worksheet to be filled out completely before we can assist you. Any calls we receive without the worksheet filled out will automatically be directed to have this worksheet completed so it can be reviewed by the Technical Representative you are working with and attached to the Techline case number that was assigned. 15 2015 LEGACY / OUTBACK XM RADIO REVERTING TO PREVIEW CHANNEL The 2015 Legacy and Outback feature a newly designed range of multimedia head units. It is important to note, on models with XM / Sirius satellite radio, where the channel will automatically revert to the preview station at every key cycle if the unit is turned off while tuned to a channel that may broadcast content intended for a mature audience. This feature is not customizable by the user.
