DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Defective G sensor

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

ABS does not operate.

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.WHETHER A WHEEL TURNED FREELY OR NOT.

Have the wheels spun free of load when the vehicle is lifted up, or during driving on a rough road?

ABS is normal. Erase the memory.

2.CHECK OUTPUT OF G SENSOR USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.

1) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in Subaru Select Monitor.

2) Read the G sensor output on Subaru Select Monitor.

Is the reading indicated on display −1.2 — 1.2 m/s when the G sensor is horizontal?

3.CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTOR.

Is there poor contact in connectors between ABSCM&H/U and G sensor?

Repair the connector.

4.CHECK ABSCM&H/U.

1) Connect all connectors.

2) Erase the memory.

3) Perform the Inspection Mode.

4) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the ABSCM only.

5.CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is there any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

Temporary poor contact occurs.

6.CHECK INPUT VOLTAGE OF G SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Remove the console box.

3) Remove the G sensor from vehicle. (Do not disconnect the connector.)

4) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

5) Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B292) No. 1 (+) — No. 3 (−):

Is the voltage 4.75 — 5.25 V?

Repair the harness connector between the G sensor and ABSCM&H/U.

7.CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT IN G SENSOR OUTPUT HARNESS AND GROUND HARNESS.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the ABSCM&H/U connectors.

3) Measure the resistance between ABSCM&H/U connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

LHD model

(B301) No. 21 — No. 10:

RHD model

(F49) No. 21 — No. 10:

Is the resistance between 3.6 — 3.8 kΩ?

Repair the harness connector between the G sensor and ABSCM&H/U.

8.CHECK GROUND SHORT IN G SENSOR OUTPUT HARNESS.

1) Disconnect the connector from G sensor.

2) Measure the resistance between the ABSCM&H/U connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

LHD model

(B301) No. 21 — Chassis ground:

RHD model

(F49) No. 21 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Repair the harness between the G sensor and ABSCM&H/U.

9.CHECK G SENSOR.

1) Connect the connector to G sensor.

2) Connect the connector to ABSCM&H/U.

3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

4) Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B292) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (−):

Is the voltage 2.1 — 2.5 V when G sensor is in horizontal position?

Replace G sensor.

10.CHECK G SENSOR.

Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B292) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (−):

Is the voltage 3.6 — 4.1 V when the G sensor is inclined forward to 90°?

Replace G sensor.

11.CHECK G SENSOR.

Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B292) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (−):

Is the voltage 0.5 — 1.0 V when G sensor is inclined back 90°?

Replace G sensor.

12.CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTOR.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Is there poor contact in connectors between ABSCM&H/U and G sensor?

Repair the connector.

13.CHECK ABSCM&H/U.

1) Connect all connectors.

2) Erase the memory.

3) Perform the Inspection Mode.

4) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the ABSCM only.

14.CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is there any other DTC displayed?

Check DTC using “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

Temporary poor contact occurs.
