2014 Subaru Outback 2.5i, Standard TransSECTION Diagnostic Procedure
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK LAN SYSTEM. 
Inspect LAN system.		 Is LAN system normal? Go to step 2  . Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.
2 CHECK CURRENT DATA. 
Confirm the current data display of keyless access system using Subaru Select Monitor.
  • Steering Unlock Switch
 Can the data be read normally? Go to step 3  . Replace the steering lock CM. < Refer to STEERING LOCK CM . >
3 CHECK FUSE. 
Remove the fuse.		 Is the fuse OK? Go to step 4  . Replace the fuse. When the replaced fuse is blown immediately, check the power supply circuit for short-circuited.
4 CHECK HARNESS. 
  1. Disconnect the keyless access CM connector.
  2. Using a tester, measure the voltage between keyless access CM connectors.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B572) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Is the voltage 9.5 - 16 V? Go to step 5  . Check the power supply circuit.
5 CHECK HARNESS. 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access CM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B572) No. 11 - Chassis ground: 		 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 6  . Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
6 CHECK HARNESS. 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the steering lock CM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(B424) No. 4 - Chassis ground: 		 Does the following occur? Steering lock: 10 kΩ or more → Steering unlock: less than 1 Ω Go to step 7  . Replace the steering lock CM. < Refer to STEERING LOCK CM . >
7 CHECK HARNESS. 
  1. Disconnect the keyless access CM connector.
  2. Disconnect the steering lock CM connector.
  3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access CM connector and steering lock CM.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i242) No. 26 - (B424) No. 4: 

 Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 8  . Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
8 CHECK HARNESS. 
Using a tester, measure the resistance between the keyless access CM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i242) No. 26 - Chassis ground: 		 Is the resistance 10 kΩ or more? Replace the keyless access CM. < Refer to KEYLESS ACCESS CM . > Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.

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.
