2024 Subaru Ascent BaseFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE
Check Brake Override System
NOTE:
- The value of [Accel. Opening Angle] on the data monitor changes according to the value of accelerator sensor No. 1 voltage ratio. (The values do not become the same. For values, refer to Data monitor.)
- Even if the voltage difference between [Accel. Opening Angle] and the accelerator sensor No. 1 is large and the value of [Accel. Opening Angle] is not consistent, the corresponding control can be considered to be activated if the value of the accelerator sensor No. 1 voltage ratio is consistent. (Use of the data storage function of Subaru Select Monitor allows the data during driving to be stored. The stored data can be checked after the driving.)
- When the customer complains of deceleration feeling when he/she intentionally depresses both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, advise them not to depress both pedals. (Example: Operated the brake pedal with the left foot while operating the accelerator pedal)
