TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

SUBARU:

2018 Crosstrek

APPLICABILITY

2018MY Crosstrek with EyeSight

INTRODUCTION

This bulletin announces reprogramming file availability to optimize the EyeSight system. Customers may notice the lane departure warning feature re-activates the next time the ignition is turned on, even after choosing to turn it off. After this reprogramming, the system will retain whatever setting the operator has chosen (OFF or ON) instead of automatically defaulting back to ON after the ignition is turned off.

PRODUCTION CHANGE INFORMATION

The new logic was incorporated into production during late June, 2017. This TSB will be revised with a starting VIN for the change when it becomes available.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Step 1: Verify the "Control Software Version" number by following the SM4 screen shot sequence below.

If the number is 00006453 , the EyeSight system is suitable for reprogramming. Proceed with the updating process below.

Step 2: Reprogram the EyeSight system (select "CAMERA" from CPU drop-down menu) following the normal FlashWrite 2 procedure.

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) highly recommends connecting the Subaru Midtronics GR8 Diagnostic Battery Charger to the vehicle and utilizing the Power Supply Mode feature anytime a vehicle control module is being reprogrammed. Follow the procedure as outlined in document GR8-1100 on STIS for use of the GR8's Power Supply Mode:

Confirm all electrical loads such as lights, audio, HVAC, seat heaters, and rear defroster are all switched OFF before setting up for Power Supply Mode.
Select the correct battery type (Flooded, AGM or AGM Spiral).
Select the CCA which matches the vehicle's battery (
NOTE: OE and replacement batteries have different CCA ratings. Always confirm the battery rating before proceeding.)
If the "Charge Battery" WARNING appears, the battery MUST be charged before attempting reprogramming.
DO NOT connect the DSTi or SDI until the GR8 Power Supply mode has completed its battery test mode and the Charging Voltage has dropped to a steady 13.5 Volts on the display.
If the GR8 "beeps" or the Status Light flashes, a diagnostic charge should be performed on the battery before proceeding further.
Once Power Supply Mode reaches a steady 13.5 volts, connect the DSTi or SDI to the OBD connector and initiate the reprogramming process.
Amperage will fluctuate based upon the vehicle's demand for power.
NOTE: If the voltage rises beyond 14V while programming is in process, the procedure will abort. This can indicate a need to test or charge the vehicle battery before any further attempt at programming.

IMPORTANT: This information is applicable to the Midtronics GR8 Diagnostic Battery Charger ONLY . It does not apply to any other brand / type of "generic" battery charger whatsoever. ONLY the GR8 and its Power Supply Mode feature has been tested and approved by SOA.
Once the GR8 is connected to the vehicle, as long as the battery is fully charged , it takes less than 3 minutes to boot-up the charger, select Power Supply Mode, and have the battery voltage stabilized and ready for reprogramming.

REMINDER: If the GR8 indicates the vehicle's battery must be charged, charge the battery using the GR8 before proceeding to reprogram the vehicle.

NOTE: Control module failures as a result of battery discharge during reprogramming are not a matter for warranty. Should any DTCs reset after the reprogramming update is performed, diagnose per the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual.

Step 3: Confirm the update was successful by performing Step 1 again. The new Control Software Version number is 00006464 .
