Check Operation

2022 Subaru Impreza Base, 4D Sedan, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Check Operation
NOTE:
  • Using the function setting (customizing), check that the keyless access system is not OFF. Ref. to  SECURITY AND LOCKS>FUNCTION SETTING (CUSTOMIZE)>OPERATION  . 
  • The dark current is approx. 400 MA if there is communication between the vehicle and access key. 
  • The dark current is approx. 40 MA if there is no communication between the vehicle and access key.* 
  • *No communication with the vehicle means that the keyless access function has been canceled or that the access key has not been near the vehicle for 15 minutes or more after door locking. 
  1. Keyless access door unlock function check

    1. When carrying the access key with all doors locked by keyless lock operation, check that when the touch sensor (unlock) built in to the back side surface of door outer handle of front door is touched, the driver's door or all doors will unlock (when touched on the driver's side), or all doors will unlock (when touched on the passenger's side), and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks twice, access buzzer sounds twice).
    2. In the keyless access door unlock detection area, hold the access key at the same height as the outer handle (approx. 80 cm (31.5 in) from the ground) and in the direction shown in the figure, and check that the vehicle becomes unlock mode [access key LED (red) blinks] at 40 to 80 cm (15.7 - 31.5 in) from the vehicle.
    NOTE:

    Check the access key battery if the LED (red) does not illuminates when the access key button is pressed. Ref. to  SECURITY AND LOCKS>ACCESS KEY>INSPECTION  . 

  2. Keyless access door lock function check

    1. When carrying the access key outside of the vehicle with all doors closed and unlocked, check that when the touch sensor (lock) on the surface of door outer handle of front door is touched, all doors will lock and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks once, access buzzer sounds once).
      CAUTION:

      If the access key is within the vehicle but not within the detection area (in the instrument panel, on the rear tray, in the glove box, on the floor, or in the door trim pocket), then lockout protection will not function when the doors are locked and the access key will be locked into the vehicle. 

    2. To check the keyless access door lock operation range, hold the access key at a height of 10 cm (3.9 in) under the bottom edge of the door glass (approx. 80 cm (31.5 in) from the ground), point it in the direction shown in the figure at a distance of approx. 30 cm (11.8 in) from the vehicle, and check that all doors lock and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks once, access buzzer sounds once) when you touch the touch sensor (lock).
    3. Check the passenger's side door in the same manner.
    NOTE:
    • When the door cannot lock if the touch sensor (lock) is touched, touch the touch sensor (lock) with palm. 
    • Since communication is not possible within close range (20 cm (7.9 in) or less) of the door outer handle, the access key may not operate if you touch the touch sensor (lock) with the same hand you are holding the access key. 
    • If the lockout prevention buzzer sounds, it is possible that the interior transmitter has radio wave leakage. 
  3. Check of the keyless access trunk open function

    1. With the trunk closed, check that the trunk opens and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks twice, access buzzer sounds twice) when you press the trunk opener button while carrying the access key.
    2. To check the keyless access trunk open operation range, hold the access key behind and in the center of the vehicle at the same height as the trunk opener button (90 cm (35.4 in) from the ground), point it in the direction shown in the figure at a distance of 40 to 80 cm (15.7 to 31.5 in) from the vehicle, and check that the trunk opens and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks twice, access buzzer sounds twice) when the trunk opener button is pressed.
  4. Check of the keyless access rear gate function

    1. With the rear gate locked, check that only the rear gate unlocks or all doors unlock, the rear gate opens simultaneously and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks twice, external buzzer sounds twice) when you press the rear gate opener button while carrying the access key.
    2. To check the range for keyless access rear gate open operation, hold the access key behind and in the center of the vehicle at the same height as the rear gate opener button (90 cm (35.4 in) from the ground), point it in the direction shown in the figure at a distance of 40 to 80 cm (15.7 to 31.5 in) from the vehicle, and check that all doors unlock and the rear gate opens simultaneously and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks twice, external buzzer sounds twice) when the rear gate opener button is pressed.
    3. With the rear gate unlock, check that the all doors lock and the answer-back function operates (hazard light blinks once, external buzzer sounds once) when rear lock button is pressed while carrying the access key.
  5. Keyless access ignition switching function check
    1. With the ignition OFF, enter the vehicle while carrying the access key. With the shift lever in the "P" range, check that the push button ignition switch indicator illuminates in green when you depress the brake pedal, then check that the engine (except for hybrid model) or hybrid system (for hybrid model) starts when you press the push button ignition switch while the indicator green light is on.
    2. While carrying the access key, check that the status changes as follows each time you press the push button ignition switch without depressing the brake pedal: 'Ignition OFF'→'ACC ON'→'Ignition ON'→'Ignition OFF'. However, if the shift lever is a range other than the "P" range and the push button ignition switch is pressed from ignition ON, then the status does not change to ignition OFF and instead will change to ACC ON.
    3. After the vehicle has stopped, press the push button ignition switch and ignition is turned OFF (engine stopped • all power supplies OFF). However, if the shift lever is in any range except for the "P" range and the push button ignition switch is pressed with the vehicle stopped, then the ignition is not turned OFF and instead the power supplies changes to ACC ON. Check that the steering lock operates if you open the door in the ignition OFF state (the shift lever must be in "P" range).
    4. To check the range of the keyless access ignition operation, check that the engine (except for hybrid model) or hybrid system (for hybrid model) can start when you set the access key at the check position on the seat in the direction indicated in the figure.
