1. CHECK VDCCM&H/U GROUND CIRCUIT (CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
   1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
   2. Disconnect the connector from the VDCCM&H/U.
   3. Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U and chassis ground.

      Connector and terminal 

      (B310) No. 46 - Chassis ground:

   Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

   Yes  : Go to  2 .

   No  : Repair the VDCCM&H/U ground harness.

2. CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS  .

   Is there poor contact of the connector between the battery, ignition switch and VDCCM&H/U?

   Yes  : Repair the connector.

   No  : Go to  3 .

3. CHECK CAUSE OF SIGNAL NOISE  .

   Are the radio wave devices and electronic components installed correctly?

   Yes  : Go to  4 .

   No  : Install the radio wave devices and electronic components properly.

4. CHECK CAUSE OF SIGNAL NOISE  .

   Is there a noise source (such as an antenna) installed near the sensor harness and VDCCM?

   Yes  : Install the noise sources apart from sensor harness and VDCCM.

   No  : Go to  5 .

5. CHECK VDCCM&H/U  .
   1. Connect all connectors.
   2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory.

      Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .

   3. Execute the inspection mode.

      Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>INSPECTION MODE .

   4. Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor.

      Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is the same DTC displayed?

   Yes  : Replace the VDCCM&H/U. Ref. to VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)>VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) .

   No  : Go to  6 .

6. CHECK DETECTION OF OTHER DTCS FOR VDC  .

   Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

   Is any other DTC displayed?

   Yes  : Perform the diagnosis according to DTC. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS)>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)>LIST .

   No  : Currently, it is normal. There may have been a temporary poor contact in the harness and connector or a temporary noise interference.
