Does the EPS light come on without a DTC and there is a heavy steering feel? Check to see if the battery terminals are cleaned and properly torqued. If the 10mm nut on battery terminal becomes loose, it can result in a momentary loss in power to the EPS. 04 ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING Electronic Power Steering Light 10mm Battery Terminal Nut The 2015 Legacy and Outback now include a road surface freeze warning indicator displayed in the Multi Information Display. This should not to be confused with the Multi Function Display found in the middle of the dashboard on other models. The Multi Information Display in the center of the Combination Meter will present this warning when the vehicles ambient temperature sensor reaches approximately 37° F and colder. Please note that the outside temperature indication may differ from the actual outside temperature. Also, the road surface freeze warning indication should always be treated as a guide. Customers should always be reminded to check and monitor the actual condition of the road surface anytime they are behind the wheel. 07 2015 LEGACY AND OUTBACK COLD WEATHER LIGHT OPERATION. October 2014 TechTIPS Page 5 Inquiries have been received regarding some confusion while performing the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) involving the under-hood (M/B) fuse box and its cover being used on 2015MY Legacy and Outback models. Some had questions regarding what appeared to be missing fuses. Others mentioned discrepancies between the fuse location / circuit name diagram located inside the fuse box cover and the Service Manual. Before spending any diagnostic time unnecessarily, always keep the following points in mind: • Refer to the June, 2014 issue of TIPS for Transit Fuse Information. Relocating this fuse is the ONLY item which should need to be addressed inside the M/B during the PDI procedure. • There is no need to install any additional fuses in the M/B other than relocating the transit fuse. For example, on 6-cylinder models, there are 3 empty fuse slots as shown in the photo below. One of these empty slots is for the Active Grille Air Shutter System which is used only on 4-cylinder models therefore, the slot is left empty. • If a required fuse is truly missing, the circuit it controls will be inoperative and will likely become apparent while performing the operational check portion of the PDI. In some cases, the Check Engine light may also illuminate. • A very small number of discrepancies between the fuse diagram inside the M/B cover and the Service Manual have been identified. When diagnosing an electrical concern, always refer to the applicable Wiring Diagram section of the Service Manual. 07 2015MY LEGACY & OUTBACK UNDER-HOOD MAIN FUSE BOX (M/B) INFORMATION October 2014 TechTIPS Page 6 The SOA Technical Helpline has received a few calls recently questioning the appearance of a keyhole like shadow appearing in the projector beam headlamps of 2015 Legacy and Outback models. It should be noted that the 3.6R Limited models utilize an HID headlamp and as a result do not exhibit this condition. The main questions have been: • Is this condition characteristic or not? • Why is it there? The answer to the first question is simply YES. This appearance is characteristic and there is no need to try and repair or correct it. The second question requires a more detailed explanation. The 2015 Legacy and Outback with projector beam headlamps feature a longer and wider field of vision than the prior model year design. This design has a focal point for the projector beam that is roughly one foot in front of the headlamp lens (as shown in the drawing below). The area behind the focal point (shown in gray in the drawing below) is not illuminated. This area is what creates the keyhole like appearance. As seen in the photos below this non illuminated area only exists within the roughly 12 inch area immediately in front of the headlamp (photo 1) and that the actual usable illumination beyond that point provides full illumination with no gaps (photo 2) across the entire range of the lamp. So in a sense it could be said that the keyhole shadow is actually a key to better vision. 07 2015 LEGACY AND OUTBACK-KEYHOLE SHADOW FROM PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLAMPS Photo 1 Photo 2 2015 2014 October 2014 TechTIPS Page 7 00 SEPTEMBER STIS NEW RELEASES ITEM CODE ITEM TYPE TITLE CREATED DATE SOA7181002 Accessory Installation Guide Bumper Corner Molding (2 piece) 30-Sep-14 F0010AL500 Accessory Installation Guide 2015MY Outback Side Window Deflectors 29-Sep-14 02-157-14R Technical Service Bulletin Surface Treatment Change To Oil Control Piston Rings 29-Sep-14 02-147-13R Technical Service Bulletin Surface Treatment Change To Oil Control Piston Rings 29-Sep-14 02-145-13R Technical Service Bulletin Surface Treatment Change To Oil Control Piston Rings (2012-2013MY Impreza and 2013MY XV Crosstrek) 29-Sep-14 02-144-13R Technical Service Bulletin Surface Treatment Change To Oil Control Piston Rings (2012-2014MY Forester) 29-Sep-14 02-143-13R Technical Service Bulletin Surface Treatment Change To Oil Control Piston Rings (2013MY Legacy and Outback) 29-Sep-14 09-58-14 Technical Service Bulletin Procedure to Improve Fit and Operation of the Fuel Filler Door (Flap) 26-Sep-14 15-172-14 Technical Service Bulletin 2015 Exchange Component Identification and Procedures 26-Sep-14 WQM-49 Subaru Product / Campaign Bulletin Regional Front Passenger Air Bag Inflator Replacement 26-Sep-14 SUTTIPSLOC Other / Miscellaneous TechTIPS Article Locator Index (Updated 09-2014) 25-Sep-14 11-146-14 Technical Service Bulletin Reprogramming Files for DTC P0420 24-Sep-14 ASRE_ UM_042511 Owner Manual Rear Seat Entertainment System User Guide 24-Sep-14 CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE October 2014 TechTIPS Page 8 00 AUGUST STIS NEW RELEASES ITEM CODE ITEM TYPE TITLE CREATED DATE 550-0566AA Owner Manual Auto-Dimming Compass Mirror User Guide (for Vehicles with Exterior Auto Dimming Mirrors) 24-Sep-14 550-0565AA Owner Manual HomeLink Mirror User Guide (for Vehicles With Exterior Auto Dimming Mirrors) 24-Sep-14 550_0521A Owner Manual Auto Dimming Compass Mirror User Guide 24-Sep-14 550_0610AA Owner Manual HomeLink Mirror User Guide (Interior Auto Dimming Mirror with HomeLink Drive Card) 24-Sep-14 550_0577AA Owner Manual Homelink Programming and Information Guide 24-Sep-14 02-151-14R Technical Service Bulletin Revised Valve Train Parts to Reduce a Warm Engine Tapping Sound from the Left Cylinder Head 23-Sep-14 H7150AL000 Accessory Installation Guide Perimeter Alarm (Security Shock Sensor) 15-Sep-14 KS_RES_ QRG Owner Manual Turn-Start Remote Start Quick Reference Guide 15-Sep-14 SMR_STRT_1 Owner Manual Smart Engine Start / Remote Engine Start Key Ring Tag 15-Sep-14 SMR_ STRT_0… Owner Manual Smart Engine Start Owner’s Manual 15-Sep-14 H630SFJ260 Accessory Installation Guide Subwoofer Removal Card 15-Sep-14 H630SFJ060 Accessory Installation Guide Subwoofer Removal Card 15-Sep-14 H630SFG340 Accessory Installation Guide Subwoofer Removal Card 15-Sep-14 CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE October 2014 TechTIPS Page 9 00 AUGUST STIS NEW RELEASES ITEM CODE ITEM TYPE TITLE CREATED DATE H630SFG150 Accessory Installation Guide Subwoofer Removal Card 15-Sep-14 H630SCA050 Accessory Installation Guide Subwoofer Removal Card 15-Sep-14 11-145-14 Technical Service Bulletin Reprogramming File Availability for Oil Level Detection 15-Sep-14 WQL-48R Subaru Product / Campaign Bulletin Front Passenger Air Bag Inflator Replacement 11-Sep-14 TIPS0914 TechTIPS NewsLetter 2014 September TechTIPS Newsletter 11-Sep-14 S1001BE Other / Miscellaneous Registration Manual For Immobilizer 10-Sep-14 H771SSG000 Accessory Installation Guide Forester Trailer Hitch Harness – Fuse Caution Warning Card 9-Sep-14 H771SSG000 Accessory Installation Guide Forester Trailer Hitch Harness 9-Sep-14 H771SSG100 Accessory Installation Guide Forester Trailer Hitch Harness (Turbo Models) 9-Sep-14 H771SFJ000 Accessory Installation Guide XV Crosstrek Trailer Hitch Harness (H771SFJ000) 9-Sep-14 H771SFJ000 Accessory Installation Guide XV Crosstrek Trailer Hitch Harness – Fuse Caution Warning Card 9-Sep-14 SOA3991310 Accessory Installation Guide 2015 Impreza Sunshade 4-Sep-14 10-80-14 Technical Service Bulletin Whistling Sound from Side Dash Vents 2-Sep-14 16-92-14 Technical Service Bulletin Replacement AT Oil Cooler Piping 2-Sep-14 Be sure to always check the “What’s New” section on STIS for any updated or recently released information that may not be listed here.
