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

      Connector and terminal 

      (B310) No. 14 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes:  Go to  2.

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

  2. CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS  .

    Is there poor contact of the connector between the battery, ignition switch and VDCCM and 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 AND H/U  .
    1. Connect all connectors.
    2. Using the Subaru Select Monitor, perform the clear memory of [Brake Control]. Ref. to COMMON (DIAG)>CLEAR MEMORY .
    3. Execute the inspection mode. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>INSPECTION MODE .
    4. Read the DTC of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

    Is the same DTC displayed?

    Yes:  Replace the VDCCM and 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 of [Brake Control] using the Subaru Select Monitor. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) .

    Is any other DTC displayed?

    Yes:  Perform the diagnosis according to the DTC. Ref. to BRAKE CONTROL (DIAGNOSTICS) (HEV)>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.
