Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Introduction
This module will provide information and hands on experience that will provide you with an
understanding of Subaru Electrical System Operation and Diagnosis.
Classroom and lab participation is encouraged so that you may gain the experience needed to
repair Subaru electrical Systems on your first attempt correctly and in a timely manner.
LAN/CAN Introduction
LAN/CAN systems first appeared on the 2005 Legacy vehicles and were phased into new
generations of all existing models. Any new model introduced from 2005 was equipped with LAN/
CAN. The LAN (Local Area Network), a system where multiple computers are linked together with
a single pair of twisted wires, improves equipment operation and functions while reducing the
weight of the vehicle by eliminating a considerable amount of wiring harnesses. LAN (Bus) is a
type of computer network topology or wiring that connects all computers of a system or device.
LAN Topologies
LAN BUS configuration allows communications between computers to continue if one of the other
members of the LAN drops out or malfunctions.
The LAN operates using Controller Area Network (CAN) communications protocol. CAN
communications are frames of vehicle data that deliver and share all vehicle information among
the computers of the LAN. The frames of data are composed of binary code or 0s and 1s that are
coded and decoded by the LAN. The voltage values that represent the 0s and 1s varies depending
on the type of CAN. Two types of CAN will be reviewed in this section of the reference booklet,
the High speed and Low speed CAN. The first LAN/CAN system equipped on Subaru vehicles
was a combination of the High speed and Low speed CAN. As the years progressed a switch to
High speed CAN only was employed.

Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
A Controller Area Network (CAN) signal is composed of two separate pulses. One pulse is low
voltage changing to high voltage and one pulse is high voltage changing to low voltage. Each pulse
has its own wire. The two pulses are sent simultaneously from one control unit to all the other

the potential difference between them.

Each control module has a transmitter and receiver, which enables bidirectional communication
among the control modules.

The CAN wires are twisted together along the entire length of the LAN. This protects the integrity
of the CAN signal if an unintentional signal is created in the circuit from an overlying circuit that
induces a magnetic field into the CAN wires. This magnetic field will place noise or an unwanted
voltage signal into the CAN signal.
The polarity of the unwanted signal will usually be constant. Superimposed over the CAN signal
the noise will cancel itself out as the control units only view the potential difference between the
two wires. The more twists per meter a wire has the more it reduces noise.
Noise (ARTWORK)
CAN communications are designed to operate at different speed levels dependant on the operating
speeds of the components on different parts of the LAN. The power train side of the LAN operates
at 500 Kbps (500,000 bytes per second). The body side of the LAN operates at a slower rate of
125 Kbps (125,000 bytes per second). The individual sides of the LAN are referred to as bus. Any
references to the high speed bus are referencing to the power train side of the LAN and the low
speed bus is referring to the body side of the LAN. Communications between the high speed and
low speed bus sides of the LAN are not possible unless the data to be shared is adjusted to the
same rate of speed. This adjusting process is referred to as passing through the gateway. The
gateway function is accomplished by the Body Integrated Unit (BIU). Additional functions of the BIU
control and monitor body related electrical circuits such as the rear defogger and door switches.
Components of the high speed bus include the Engine ECM, Transmission Control Module,
ABS/VDC ECM and the Steering Angle Sensor (Vehicles with VDC). The number of control
modules on the CAN continue to increase. The most recent additions are the Keyless Access and
EyeSight™ Control Modules.
Components of the low speed bus include the Combination Meter and A/C Control Unit (Auto A/C).
The twisted wire connecting all components of the CAN to the BIU must maintain its twisted shape
to help with keeping out electrical interference. Repairs to the wire are allowed but the length of
the twisted wire cannot differ more than 3.94 inches (8 cm).

High Speed CAN Signal Construction
When reviewing the service manual you will find references to High Speed CAN and Low Speed
CAN. Each of these has a CAN-High wire and a CAN-Low wire. The differences in operating speed
have already been discussed and now the construction of the two circuits needs to be understood
before fully understanding operational differences.
High Speed CAN (ARTWORK)
When the logic value of the High Speed CAN is 1 there is no potential difference between the
voltage levels of CAN High and CAN Low. The level of both signals is 2.5 volts. When the logic
value changes to a 0 the voltage level of both signals move away from each other. CAN High will
be 3.5 volts and CAN Low will be 1.4 volts. This operation helps to ensure that there is no electrical
interference and the signals received by the various components of the LAN are receiving genuine
signals.

Outline of Data Frame
When data is generated, the signal “Frame” comprises of a “start bit” and a “stop bit” to indicate
the beginning and end of a signal. The frame also includes identification data, main data, and an
error detection code.
Example
Outline of Data Frame Example
(1) Bus idle: Idle state
(2) Frame: Data transmission state
(3) Start bit: Transmission starts
(4) ID bit: It shows what kind of data, for example, TCM, ABS, or ECM.
(5) Data bit: It shows what contents of the data, for example, RPM, shift Position, etc.
(6) Error detection code: It is to avoid wrong recognition of data.
(7) Stop bit: Data transmission stops
“Bus idle” refers to the area between data when no information is being transmitted. At this time,
the data logic value is “1”. Therefore, when the High Speed CAN circuit is 2.5 volts, the system is
at “Bus idle”.,
When a CAN High or CAN Low wire of the High speed CAN carries a transmitted signal, the signal
travels in both directions until the signal reaches the end of the respective wire. At this point the
signal is absorbed by the terminator to the opposite CAN wire.

B, C CAN High Wire and E, F CAN Low Wire
For example the CAN High Wire (B, C) receives a voltage signal ranging from 2.5 volts to 3.6 volts.
The signal originates at point A and travels to point B and point C simultaneously.
The potential difference between B, C and E, F during One state is 0 volts but during the Zero
state, the potential difference is 2.2 volts.
During normal operation this potential difference will remain constant.
The voltage output of B, C during the Zero state is actually higher than 3.6 volts but the terminators
allow paths to E, F and 3.6 is the remaining voltage.
The voltage output of EF during the Zero state is actually lower than 1.4 volts but the voltage from
terminators and BC increase the minimum voltage reading to 1.4 volts.
Fail-safe and driveability conditions resulting from problems with the CAN change from year to
year and model to model. These conditions could result in no engine start, limited Electronic
Power Steering operation, non-operative shifter control and many more conditions that control or
monitor normal vehicle operations.
Diagnostics for CAN issues vary as much as the fail-safe and driveability conditions. However;
all High speed CAN circuits share the same circuit structure for the main CAN bus circuit. This
commonality allows the following checks to be performed regardless of model or year of production:

High Speed CAN Communication Circuit
The high speed CAN communication circuit is configured as shown in the illustration.
The communication line connecting the ECM and the VDC is called the main bus, and the
communication lines connecting the main bus and the other control modules are called the branch
buses. Main bus and branch buses are connected by joint connectors.
There is a 120 Ohm resistor in the ECM and VDC CM. They are connected to the circuit as
terminator resistors.

High Speed CAN Resistance Check
The DLC is the most accessible connector to measure the resistance of the main bus. If the DLC
is correctly connected to the main bus, the total circuit resistance of the main bus should be 60
ohms. Two 120 ohm resistors wired in parallel provide two paths for the CAN circuit. Since the
resistors have the same value this simple formula determines the total circuit resistance:
RT = V/N RT = 120/2 RT = 60
RT = Resistance total
V = Value of the resistor
N = Number of like resistors
An open, short, or additional resistance added from a malfunction in a control module will affect
the total circuit resistance. This can be measured from the DLC provided no electrical power is
flowing through the CAN.
Note: The total circuit resistance of a parallel circuit is always lower than the
smallest value resistor in the circuit.

Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
High Speed CAN Voltage Check
Voltage checks from the DLC are possible with the CAN active (Ignition on, Engine off). The
normal voltage readings will vary by year, model, and the amount of data being carried on the
CAN. The CAN high wire and the CAN low wire will always have a different value during normal
circuit operation.
Can High Wire
Checked with an oscilloscope, the pattern of the signals will change from approximately 2.50
volts to 3.60 volts. If you check this value with a voltmeter, the voltage reading will average out to
approximately 2.60 volts.
Can Low Wire
Checked with an oscilloscope, the pattern of the signals change from approximately 2.5 volts to 1.4
volts. If you check this value with a voltmeter, the voltage reading will average out to approximately
2.40 volts.
Note: Any change to the total circuit resistance of the CAN will result in changes to
the volt meter readings for the CAN high and CAN low wire at the same time.
One cannot change without affecting the other.

Open Circuit in Main Bus
An open circuit on the main bus can be detected by measuring the resistance between HS-CAN
High and HS-CAN Low. For example, when measuring the resistance between HS-CAN High and
HS-CAN Low at the DLC, the resistance should be 60 Ohms.
When an open circuit occurs on the main bus, the resistance becomes 120 Ohm.
In this case, communication with control modules that are connected after the open circuit becomes
disabled. In the illustration below the BIU cannot communicate with ECM, EPS, and EPB.

An open branch in the CAN results in the loss of communications with a control module. This
will result in the loss of all of the data that the control module supplied to the CAN as well
as the control that the control module provided to the vehicle. Diagnostics using resistance
or voltage will determine that the main CAN bus has no problems so you must check at the
affected control module.
Disconnect the affected control module. Failure to do so will result in the monitoring of signals or
voltage outputted from the control module that is not making contact with the CAN.

Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Resistance checks should show continuity or very low resistance from the DLC to the CAN high
wire and CAN low wire. Check the CAN high wire first. Check from the DLC to the affected modules
electrical connector. Record the value and then check the CAN low wire the same way.
Voltage checks at the affected control module electrical connector should show the same value
monitored at the DLC.
If either resistance or voltage checks indicate that an open circuit exists then the next step is to
locate the CAN Joint Connector that connects the affected control module to the CAN.
Check the CAN Joint Connector for resistance or voltage to the affected module’s CAN wires.
Once the open circuit is located, repair the circuit and recheck the entire CAN operation.
Ground Short of CAN High Wire
When a short to ground occurs on the CAN high wire, the voltage difference between the CAN
high wire and CAN low wire is not high enough for any control module to receive and understand
the data being sent. The voltage level of the CAN high wire must always be higher than the CAN
low wire or communications on the CAN stop.

When a short to ground occurs on the CAN low wire, the voltage and data on the CAN low wire is
not received by the CAN. The voltage of the CAN high wire drops because of the parallel wiring
with the terminators. The voltage levels of the CAN high wire will increase enough to allow data
to be sent and received throughout the CAN. The noise insulating properties of the CAN will be
lost but most vehicle systems will continue to function.

CAN Bus B or KAC
CAN Bus B or KAC
Keyless Access and Push Button Start vehicles are equipped with a second High speed CAN.
The name for this new High Speed CAN will be High Speed CAN Bus B or KAC.
This circuit is isolated from the Main CAN Bus and only functions with Keyless Access control
and diagnostics.
The circuit design of CAN Bus B is the same as the Main Can Bus. 120 ohm terminators are
located in the BIU and the Keyless Access Control Module.
The only branch currently installed on CAN Bus B is the Remote Engine Start Control Module.
C 14 is the CAN Bus B High wire and C 15 is the CAN Bus B Low wire.
This CAN circuit controls the lock and unlock signals from the Keyless Access CM to the Body
integrated Unit. A failure disables the Keyless Access lock and unlock functions.

Low Speed CAN
Low Speed CAN (ARTWORK)
When the logic value of the Low Speed CAN is 1 the voltage of the CAN High signal is 0 volts
and the value of the CAN Low signal is 5 volts. As the logic changes to 0 the CAN High voltage
will change to 4 volts and the CAN Low signal will change to 1 volt.
The terminators of the Low Speed CAN only operate while the circuit is active. This prevents
checking of the total circuit resistance of the Low Speed CAN. If a trouble code of the Low Speed
CAN is present, check the voltage at the Low Speed CAN high and low wires for voltage or
oscilloscope patterns. Resistance checks can also be performed when no voltage is in the circuit.

Local Interconnect Network (LIN)
A Local Interconnect Network (LIN) connection is utilized on some models where control and
confirmation of operation of a device is required. The LIN is a circuit that uses the body ground
and one wire from a controller to a device. The operational speed is much slower than CAN (up
to 20 kbits/s).
LIN
An example of a LIN circuit is the wire from the Keyless Access and Push Button Start Control
Module to the Steering Lock Control Module. The Electronic Steering Lock operates to lock or
unlock the Steering Column from commands issued from the Keyless Access and Push Button
Start control module. The Steering Lock control module sends a signal back to the Keyless Access
and Push Button Start control module to confirm the operation is complete.

Monitoring of Trouble in the System
The control modules in the LAN system monitor the communication data between them. When a
control module detects an error in the data it immediately transmits an error flag to notify the error
to all the other modules of the LAN. This prevents reception of messages with an error by the other
modules. When the trouble is detected in the system, the Body Integrated Unit transmits trouble
information to the Combination Meter and displays it on the Trip Meter. (Applicable models only.)

The Combination Meter will display the LAN system codes any time the ignition is on and in case
of multiple codes the display is determined by priority listed below:
– High Speed CAN

Automatic Transmission models – DRLS DO NOT OPERATE IN PARK.
All models parking brake ON – DRLS DO NOT OPERATE.
All models have a Headlight ON indicator.
Additionally a setting for automatic headlights has been incorporated.
When in Auto Mode, the headlights and tail-lights turn on and off based on the ambient light
detected by the Sunload Sensor.
The Sunload Sensor (applicable models) of the HVAC System performs two jobs.
• Sunload for HVAC System
• Ambient light for the Automatic Headlights
Conventional Sunload Sensors have 2 wires.
The New Sunload Sensor has 4 wires.
B+, ground, analog signal to HVAC, and a wire delivering a digital signal to the BIU.
44
June 2013
Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Sunload Sensor 4 Wires (ARTWORK)
A comparator circuit is built inside the Sunload
Sensor that produces a constant triangle or
ramp wave. This provides one input to the
comparator circuit.
The other input is the voltage generated by the
absorbed sunlight. The comparator evaluates
the 2 voltages and outputs a square wave duty
ratio that is sent to the BIU. When the duty ratio
crosses a set level up or down, the headlights
and taillights turn on or off.
There are 4 levels of sensitivity that can be set
by a technician using the SMIII.
• Dull
• Normal
• Sensitive
• Very Sensitive
Note: The number of levels may change
by model.
These settings as listed on the SSMIII refer to
the Sunload Sensors ability to detect darkness.
Dull would be late on and early off.
Very Sensitive would be early on and late off.
The Integ mode of the SSMIII shows the duty
ratio from the Sunload Sensor.
Dull on approx. 150 HZ, Off approx. 440 HZ
Very Sensitive on approx 350 HZ, off 500 Hz
Use the BIU customizing Menu to adjust the
automatic headlight sensitivity.
If a customer prefers that the automatic
headlights activate closer to dark and turn off
early after sunrise then select “Dull”.
If long before dark and long after Sunrise
operation is preferred then select “Very Sensitive”
Normal and sensitive fall in between the two
extremes.
Headlight Assembly on Bench
The high beam and position light bulbs can
be serviced while the headlight assembly is
mounted in the car.
Note: Always review service
procedures in the applicable

Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Immobilizer Type A
System Construction
The Subaru Immobilizer is designed to prevent
unauthorized people from operating the vehicle.
This is accomplished by the use of a coded
transponder key that reacts with the Body
Integrated Unit (BIU), Engine Control Module
(ECM) and the Combination meter.
The Immobilizer almost simultaneously checks
the key, BIU, combination meter and Engine
Control Module to see if they are all part of a
matched set. If any one part does not match,
the vehicle becomes inoperable.
The Immobilizer is not a security system.
However the vehicle is wired to accept the
addition of the components needed to install
the security system.
Note: The installed items must be
programmed into the BIU using
the Subaru Select Monitor III.
Key
The key contains the transponder which consists
of an antenna, capacitor and integrated circuit.
Transponder (ARTWORK)
Ignition switch
When the key is placed into the ignition a signal
from the key warning switch activates the BIU
to send a high frequency electric wave to the
antenna coil surrounding the ignition switch.
52
53
54
46
June 2013
Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Antenna
The electric wave, absorbed by the antenna
in the transponder, charges the capacitor in
the transponder. An encrypted code is sent at
the end of the charging wave. The transponder
decrypts the code and sends an encrypted code
back to the antenna coil, which travels back to
the BIU.
Signal sent and received at Antenna Coil
The BIU compares the code sent by the
transponder with the code programmed into
the BIU and sends an encrypted code to the
combination meter.
Combination Meter
The combination meter decrypts the code and
sends a response back to the BIU.
The result of this signal determines if the engine
is allowed to continue operating if it has been
started.
ECM

Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
BIU
The result sent from the combination meter is
stored in the BIU until the Engine control module
has requested a decision to allow the engine to
operate or to turn off the injectors and shut the
engine off.
Key
The vehicle is shipped with two keys (May
change by model and year). Both keys contain
a transponder that is registered to the vehicle.
One key is the master key and the other key is
the valet key. The only functional difference is
that the valet key will not open the trunk lock.
Also shipped with the vehicle, on the key ring,
are two metal tags.
Aı Bˇ
A) Key number plate
B) Security ID plate
Key Tags
The smaller tag is the mechanical key code. This
is what the customer would use to have another
key cut for the vehicle. The larger tag is the
security code for the Immobilizer. This number
must be available to the Technician when the
vehicle Immobilizer system and its components
are being serviced.
A key can only be registered to one vehicle. A
vehicle may have up to four keys registered to
it. The registration process, once started, clears
the BIU of all keys. This means that when one
key is registered, they all must be registered. The
registration process is accomplished using the
Subaru Select Monitor III.
BIU
Replacing the BIU requires that all the keys be
replaced. The new keys must be registered to
the vehicle and the new BIU (2005-2009).
Note: The Keys do NOT need to be
replaced when changing the BIU
for 2010 Legacy and newer and
2011 Forester and newer.
BIU (ARTWORK)
Note: The installation of a new
BIU requires that all keyless
transmitters be reprogrammed to
the vehicle. The BIU customizing
features must be set at this time.
If possible record the current
settings of the BIU before
replacement. If the current
settings cannot be obtained ask
the customer to provide you with
their selections.

June 2013
Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Note: The BIU on all vehicles must be set to “market mode”.
Combination Meter or Engine Control Module
Replacement of the combination meter or Engine Control Module* requires that the new part be
registered to the vehicle after installation. Also all the keys previously registered to the vehicle
must be present. Failure to register the current keys during the registration process will result in
the absent keys not being able to start the engine.
• While diagnostic items are being checked, do not operate radios, portable telephones,
etc. which emit electromagnetic waves near or inside the vehicle.
• When turning the ignition switch to ON or OFF while diagnostic items are being checked,
do not allow keys with different ID codes close to the ignition switch. If the ignition key is
in a key holder, remove it from the holder before carrying out diagnosis.
• When repeatedly turning the ignition switch to ON or OFF while diagnostic items are
being checked, it should be switched in cycles of “ON” for at least 5 seconds and “OFF”
for at least 8 seconds.
• If the engine fails to start with a registered ignition key, detach the ignition key from ignition
switch and wait for approx. 1 second until immobilizer indicator light begins to flash. And
then start the engine again.
• Before checking the diagnostic items, obtain all keys for the vehicle to be checked
possessed by owner.

2012 Impreza Immobilizer Type B
The 2012 Impreza is equipped with a new Immobilizer system. This new system is identified
as Immobilizer type ”B” . All previous Immobilizer systems will now be identified as type “A” .The
Immobilizer type “B” simplifies the registration of new parts and reduces the need to have all of
the registered keys on hand to perform service work.
If an ECM or Combination Meter is replaced.
• Only the key accompanying the car to the dealer needs to be present. In this case only
the replacement part needs to be registered.
If the BIU is replaced.
• All of the keys need to be present. (Remote Engine Start will need to be reprogrammed).
• The keys do not need to be replaced.
The Immobilizer type “B” does not utilize a security code and requires no teaching code when
registering any part of the Immobilizer system. There will only be one metal tag on a new vehicle’s
key ring set. This tag is for the mechanical key code.
Security identification is through the use of one registered key. If all registered keys are missing,
the BIU and Combination Meter must be replaced (and the number of keys requested by the
customer). Four (4) keys and RES can be programmed to the Immobilizer system. The new
Combination Meter and BIU will register the unregistered key.
Note: D river’s door must remain open during all registration procedures.
The following charts should be referenced when replacing single parts or multiple parts of the
Immobilizer system.

Remote Engine Start System (RES)
Note: Impreza 2008 and Forester 2009 are the first year of RES for those models.
All 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca and Legacy models are pre-wired for a new Remote Starter accessory
(Available for port or dealer installation). This accessory includes an additional wireless key fob that
can start/stop the engine. This allows the driver to pre-warm or cool the interior prior to entering
the vehicle. The climate controls must be set to the on position before exiting the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start system (RES) operates by commanding currently installed vehicle
components with signals from the RES control module.
The RES is designed to operate the engine for 15 minutes after an RES start. Unless the engine
speed drops below 500 R.P.M. or increases to over 3000 R.P.M.
Note: (RES will not start the vehicle if the battery voltage is below normal).
Pressing on the brake pedal will deactivate the RES and the engine will return to off.
(Opening of the drivers door will also turn off RES on some models.)
This system has been designed to work with the Immobilizer system by registering the
RES software card and immobilizer interface as one ignition key. These two parts must be
replaced if the BIU is replaced, along with the ignition keys currently programmed to the
immobilizer system.
A service mode is available that will deactivate the RES.
Tachometer Idle Speed Programming
NOTE: IF YOU DID NOT PROGR AM THE VEHICLE’S TACH IDLE SPEED AS
INSTRU CTED IN the installation instructions the vehicle will not attempt to
start instead you will get three additional beeps FROM THE HORN.
THE RES SYSTEM MUST LEARN A VALID IDLE SPEED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING
TO PROGR AM THE IMMOBILIZER INTERFACE.
1. Open driver’s door (leave open throughout programming operation).
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON or RUN position.
3. Press and hold the momentary programming button for approximately 10 seconds until the
vehicle’s horn honks (3) times.
Note: RE S systems that are connected to the CAN do not require tachometer idle
speed programming. See installation instructions for details.

Momentary Programming Button
4. Release the momentary programming button.
5. Press and release the momentary programming button. The vehicle’s horn will honk (4)
times.
6. Press and release the vehicle’s brake pedal (1) time. The horn will honk (1) time to indicate
that the system has entered tachometer idle speed programming mode.
7. Start the vehicle with the ignition key. The RES system will begin honking the vehicle’s horn
1 time every 3 seconds to indicate a valid tach signal.
8. When the engine has settled to a normal idle speed (normally 750-1000 RPM), press and
release the brake pedal (1) time. The horn will honk (2) times to indicate the system has
exited tach idle speed programming.
NOTE: Be sure that the vehicle has maintained 750-1000 RPM idle speed prior to
exiting tachometer idle speed programming.
Immobilizer Interface Programing
NOTE: The immobilizer interface will be programmed to the vehicle as an ignition key.
This will take up one of the 4 slots available in the BIU. Three additional keys
may be programed to the vehicle.
Note: O nly one key fob is registered during this step but both key fobs will operate
the res.
Starting your Vehicle
The remote control start function activates by pressing the START (key icon) button twice within
3 seconds on your remote control transmitter. The system will check certain **preconditions
before starting, and if all safety parameters are correct, the engine will start within 5 seconds. If
the vehicle’s starter cranks but does not start or starts and stalls, the remote engine start system
will power off then attempt to start the vehicle an additional four times. If the remote start system
shuts down 2 seconds after starting the vehicle, the vehicle has a battery problem.

The motor direction is controlled by changing the polarity of the positive and ground supply through
the PRG control unit. A duty ratio of 40 to 70 % controls the opening of the PRG and 60 to 80%
duty closes the PRG. This is due to the assist and resistance provided from the gas shocks.
NOTE: The duty ratio near the end of opening or closing should be approximately
30%.
NOTE: W eak or failed gas shocks will increase the closing speed of the PRG and set a
DTC.

coil is approximately 9.8 ohms. The voltage at the clutch should be near battery voltage. A small
ripple effect should be considered normal (by-product from the PRG control unit duty control of
the PRG motor). Normal clutch amperage flow is approximately 1.2 amps.

The speed and rotation of the output shaft is monitored with a hall effect switch assembly. The
center rotor is comprised of permanent magnets that are arranged with alternating poles that
interface with the hall effect switch assembly as the output shaft rotates. The output can be viewed
on the Subaru Select Monitor as “Pulse Count”.
Pulse Count Sensor Sensor A and B
The two signals are inputs to the PRG control unit. Sensor A and sensor B, as described in the
I/O chart, range from 0 to 5 volts with the PRG in motion. A failure with either signal results in a
DTC and PRG functions will be cancelled.

The PRG Auto Closer is located in place of the conventional rear gate latch assembly. The PRG
Auto Closer is equipped with the following components:
– Rear gate latch
– Gate latch motor
– Sector switch
– Courtesy and Latch Switch
NOTE: The PRG Auto Closer functions in normal PRG operations and manual mode.
NOTE: If a problem with the Sector Switch or Courtesy and Latch Switch exists, the
PRG will not fully latch. The rear gate will try to fully close but the PRG control
unit will sound a long beep and the gate will move away from the rear gate
latch. The rear gate cannot be opened until pushed completely closed and the
opener button is then pressed and held for more than 3 seconds.

During normal operation with the PRG closed, the arm of the sector switch is resting on the white
plastic detent of the latch assembly driven gear (Sector gear). This represents an off or closed
position for the PRG control unit. 5 volts will be present at the PRG control unit on the sector
switch terminal.
At the same time, the courtesy and latch switch assembly is in the off or closed position. Five (5)
volts will be present at the latch switch terminal of the PRG control unit and 12 volts will be present
at the courtesy switch terminal.

PRG Auto Closer Opening
When the PRG power gate auto closer assembly is commanded to open, the driven gear will
be turning counter-clockwise (as viewed in image 193). The gear will move as far as possible,
creating a spike in amperage.
NOTE: The spring force created by the weather stripping of the PRG places a preload
on the latch assembly. Additional amperage flow through the motor is required
to overcome this preload and assure the unlocking and opening function is
performed.
During that time, the mechanical latch assembly will be released and the gate should be traveling
upward. Approximately 1 second later, the polarity at the power gate auto closer motor will be
reversed. The driven gear will turn clockwise, (as viewed in image 193), until the arm of the sector
switch is resting on the white plastic detent of the latch assembly driven gear. Very little amperage
is required to turn the gear due to no resistance being placed on the PRG.
PRG Auto Closer Voltage and Amperage
PRG Auto Closer Closing
As the PRG power gate auto closer assembly contacts the gate striker, the courtesy and latch
switch close. The PRG control unit combines this information with the low pulse count of the PRG
drive unit motor and activates the power gate auto closer motor.
When the PRG power gate auto closer assembly is closing, the driven gear will be turning clockwise
as viewed in image 193). The gear will move as far as possible, creating a spike in amperage.
The spring force created by the weather stripping applies resistance against the gate closing,
therefore the amperage of the motor increases. When the motor reaches a certain amperage value,
the PRG control unit will reverse the polarity and motor the reverses. The motor will continue to
operate until the arm of the sector switch is resting against the white plastic detent of the latch
of the driven gear.

Position 2: Auto Closer beginning to move in a clockwise direction. Sector switch has moved off of
the park position (ground removed). Courtesy switch has been connected to ground.
Position 3: Continued movement in the clockwise direction. Latch switch has been pulled to ground.
The Auto Closer motor has finished it’s clockwise movement, and will begin it’s counterclockwise
movement after approximately 500 m/seconds. When the Auto Closer motor has
finished it’s counter-clockwise movement the Sector switch connects to ground.
Position 4: The latch switch opens, signaling the Auto Closer motor to begin closing movement in a
counter-clockwise direction. The Sector switch moves off of the park position.
Position 5: The courtesy switch opens. The Auto Closer motor is still moving in a counter-clockwise
direction.
Position 6: The latch switch is connected to ground. This is the signal for the Auto Closer motor to
reverse direction and move clockwise.
Position 7: The Sector switch has been connected to ground, stopping the Auto Closer motor movement.
This brings the Auto Closer motor back to the park position.

Touch Sensors
A pinch or Touch Sensor is installed on the left and right inner edge of the rear gate. If either sensor
is compressed during closing, the PRG automatically reverses and moves to the open position.
Touch Sensor
The touch sensor is constructed in a soft rubber tube, consisting of 4 spiral wound wires. The
wires are coated with a semi-conductive coating that allows the wires to act as a switch. When
the tube or sensor is compressed, the wires will touch each other and lower the resistance in the
pinch circuit. The more the wires are compressed, the lower the resistance becomes.
Touch Sensor Tube Touch Sensor Resistor
A resistor (approximately 975 ohms) is connected in parallel with the touch sensor so that the touch
sensors can be monitored by the PRG control unit. If either sensor is not connected, or has the
incorrect resistance, a DTC will set and the PRG will not function (manual mode will be available).
Warning: Keep away from the closing area of the rear gate (PRG). The outer edge of the rear
gate (PRG) beyond the touch sensor cannot detect solid objects and will not trigger a safety
maneuver until the amperage of the rear gate (PRG) exceeds pre-established specifications.

2. Set the PRG to manual mode by pushing the “Opener SW” on the gate for more than
0.8 seconds.
NOTE: Immediately open the PRG so that the auto close function does not engage.
3. Open the gate manually, until the position of your preference is reached and then push
and hold the “Gate Inner SW” for more than 3 seconds. A beep notifies you that a
memorized position has been set.
4. Push down the gate manually towards a position before the complete close point and
then wait until the gate closes completely through the auto closing function.
5. The “Memory Height SW” on the instrument panel must be kept in the on position
(lowest position) for the PRG to open only to the memorized position.
6. The Full open position of the PRG can be obtained by pushing the “Memory Height
SW” on the instrument panel to its highest (OFF) position and then pressing any of
the opener switches.
7. Manual mode can be activated by pushing the Opener SW on the gate for more than
0.8 seconds if the “Memory Height SW” is at its lowest setting (ON).
8. The memorized position is not erased if the PRG control unit power is removed. The
memory once set cannot be erased, only overwritten.
CAUTION:
DO NOT move the PRG manually if the PRG is opened to a memorized position.
Damage to the half stop pin or solenoid will occur.

The 2014 Forester is equipped with a 130 Amp alternator that utilizes a duty ratio to control charging
output (similar to the 2012 Impreza) and a 55D23L battery.
The alternator is equipped with a de-coupler (one-way clutch) pulley that is designed to suppress
auxiliary belt resonance produced as the engine torque fluctuates during driving. This change was
required to maintain the correct accessory belt tension due to the changes in the belt routing and
the reduction in belt tension (as compared to previous models).
(1) Alternator (2) De-coupler
With Power Steering Pump Without Power Steering Pump
If the alternator speed is faster than the engine or belt speed, the de-coupler releases the locking
mechanism and reduces the deceleration shock to the accessory belt. The pulley is sealed on
both sides to keep the non-serviceable lubricant contained in the de-coupler.
De-coupler Front View De-coupler Rear View
The outer belt driven pulley unwinds a spring that is keyed into the inner side of the pulley hub.
As the spring unwinds the friction between the hub and the pulley increases and the alternator
is driven. If the speed of the alternator is greater than engine speed or outer pulley speed, the
spring tightens and the friction is reduced, producing the one-way clutch action. The alternator
must be serviced if the de-coupler fails.

The Controller Area Network (CAN) of the 2014 Forester uses CAN diagnostics for all members
of the CAN. K line diagnostics have been eliminated. This means that a failure of the CAN bus
results in lack of functionality and disables the CAN diagnostic function of SSMIII beyond the
affected area (open circuit or CAN Lo wire short to ground only). This allows faster isolation of
the problem area.

passengers.
DVD PLAYER
The rear seat entertainment system consists of
the 9 inch QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array)
monitor and DVD player, external inputs, remote
control and head phones.
The Quarter Video Graphics Array (QVGA)
provides a display screen with 320 x 240
resolution (240 x 320 in portrait mode). The
QVGA term has been established because the
display provides 25% of original VGA displays.

BEAUTY SHOT
The 2005~2009 Legacy/Outback models are
available with one of 3 types of audio packages.
The owners manual provides detailed operating
instructions for each type. The 3 types of audio
packages are identified as type A, B or C. Each
progressive letter providing a higher level of
capabilities.
REAR VIEW OF RADIO
All 3 types are controlled through the Audio/
HVAC control panel.
REAR VIEW OF CONTROL PANEL
This panel carries the desired input signals from
the driver to the audio unit.
FRONT VIEW OF RADIO CONTROL PANEL
The panel also carries the HVAC signals
(Automatic A/C models) from the control panel,
through the radio and out to the HVAC actuators.
(Manual HVAC uses a cable for temperature
control.)

End of Circuit Resistance 4.68K
The satellite audio controls located on the steering wheel pad function by varying the resistance
between the 2 wires that lead from the radio chassis to the satellite audio control assemble.
The “end of circuit resistor” will send a high resistance value (approximately. 4.6 k ohms) to the
radio when no switches are closed maintaining the last set radio condition. Operating any of the
switches creates a parallel circuit, effecting the total circuit resistance.
The different resistance values operate the radio and only one control signal can be sent to the
radio at a time.
For example:
R4 = 360 Ω End of circuit resistance = 4680 Ω
RT= R1 x R2
R1 + R2
RT = 4680 x 360
4680 + 360
