CAUTION: Before performing diagnosis, refer to "CAUTION" in "General Description". Ref. to POWER SEAT MEMORY (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>CAUTION .
NOTE: If the communication with the body integrated unit is not possible either, refer to BODY CONTROL SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS). Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR SUBARU SELECT MONITOR COMMUNICATION>INSPECTION .
  1. CHECK OTHER COMMUNICATION  .

    Communicate with the system other than [Power Seat Memory] using the Subaru Select Monitor.

    Is the communication to other control module possible?

    Yes  : Go to  2 .

    No  : Perform the "Communication for Initializing Impossible" of LAN system. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

  2. CHECK LAN SYSTEM  .

    Perform the inspection for LAN system. Ref. to LAN SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

    Is the check result OK?

    Yes  : Go to  3 .

    No  : Perform the diagnosis according to the inspection for LAN system.

  3. CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector.
    3. Disconnect the connector of body integrated unit.
    4. Connect the disconnected connectors.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    6. Communicate with [Power Seat Memory] using the Subaru Select Monitor.

    Is communication possible?

    Yes  : The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again.

    NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.

    No  : Go to  4 .

  4. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Using a tester, measure the voltage between Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (R502) No. 2 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (R502) No. 8 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

      (R502) No. 9 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

    Is the voltage 9 - 16 V?

    Yes  : Go to  5 .

    Repair the open circuit of the harness between Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector and the fuse.

  5. CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT)  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Using a tester, measure the resistance between Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (R502) No. 10 - Chassis ground:

      (R504) No. 2 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes  : Replace Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module. Ref. to SEATS>POWER SEAT SYSTEM .

    No  : Repair the open circuit in harness between Power Seat & Remote Control Mirror Control Module connector and chassis ground.
