Daytime Running Light Module Check

2007 Subaru Outback Limited, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Daytime Running Light Module Check
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Measure the voltage between the daytime running light module terminal and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B96) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

    (B242) No. 6 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Is the voltage battery voltage? Go to step 2.  Check the fuse and the power supply circuit.
2 CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT. 
  1. Disconnect the daytime running light module connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between the daytime running light module connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B242) No. 10 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 3.  Check the ground circuit.
3 CHECK THE PARKING SIGNAL. 
  1. Connect the daytime running light module connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between the terminal and chassis ground when pulling parking brake lever and releasing.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B96) No. 4 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? Go to step 4.  Check the parking brake switch circuit.
4 CHECK THE STARTER SIGNAL. 
Turn the ignition switch to ON <==> Starter and measure the voltage of terminal.
Connector & terminal 
(B96) No. 7 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? Go to step 5.  Check the starter switch circuit.
5 CHECK THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL. 
Turn the headlight switch to LO <==> OFF and measure the voltage of terminal.
Connector & terminal 
(B242) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? Go to step 6.  Check the combination switch and the headlight LO circuit.
6 CHECK THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL. 
Turn the headlight switch to HI <==> OFF and measure the voltage of terminal.
Connector & terminal 
(B96) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? Go to step 7.  Check the combination switch and the headlight HI circuit.
7 CHECK THE HEADLIGHT SIGNAL. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Turn the headlight from LO to ON/OFF and measure the voltage of terminal.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B242) No. 5 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? Go to step 8.  Check the headlight LO circuit.
8 CHECK THE HEADLIGHT SIGNAL. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Measure the voltage of terminal on passing of headlight.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B96) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Does the voltage change to 0 <==> battery voltage? If the above test is OK, replace the daytime running light module. Check the headlight HI circuit.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
