WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Subaru Tribeca. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR COMBINATION METER. 
  1. Remove the combination meter. Refer to REMOVAL , Combination Meter.
  2. Disconnect the combination meter harness connector.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between combination meter connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i10) No. 3 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

 Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step 2  . Check the harness for open or short between the ignition switch and combination meter.
2 CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR COMBINATION METER. 
Measure the voltage between combination meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(i10) No. 1 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 		 Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step 3  . Check the harness for open or short between the fuse and combination meter.
3 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF COMBINATION METER.

  2. Measure the resistance of harness between combination meter connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i10) No. 15 - Chassis ground: 

    (i10) No. 16 - Chassis ground:
