10) During the system calibration process, if the
«Re-zeroing is unsuccessful See service manual
Press YES to END» is displayed, turn the ignition
switch to OFF once and turn it to ON again, and
then read the DTC of airbag system. AB(diag)-31, OPERATION, Subaru Select Moni-
tor.>
When DTC is input, fix the fault and then perform
the system calibration. When DTC is not input,
check the seat and vehicle status and then perform
the system calibration again. SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING), OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
NOTE:
When the re-zeroing is unsuccessful, there could
be occupant detection system failure or improper
seat and vehicle status. When the airbag warning
light illuminates, read the DTC of airbag system,
and perform the diagnosis referring to “List of Diag-
nostic Trouble Code.” ATION, Subaru Select Monitor.> 45, LIST, List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
B: INSPECTION
1. COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING
IMPOSSIBLE
DETECTING CONDITION:
Defective harness connector
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Communication is impossible between the airbag
control module and the Subaru Select Monitor.
Refer to “Initial Communication Impossible” in the
DTC of the airbag system (diagnosis). AB(diag)-33, INSPECTION, Subaru Select Moni-
tor.>
2. WITHOUT DTC
DETECTING CONDITION:
•Defective combination meter
•Open circuit of harness
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
•Airbag warning light remains on.
•“NO TROUBLE CODE” will be displayed on the
Subaru Select Monitor.
For detailed operation procedure, refer to “Airbag
Warning Light Failure”. bag Warning Light Failure.>
NOTE:
When the airbag warning light is OFF and “NO
TROUBLE CODE” is displayed on Subaru Select
Monitor, the system is in normal condition.

1 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNEC-
TORS.
Check for poor contact of the connectors
between the occupant detection control mod-
ule and belt tension sensor.
Is there poor contact? Reconnect the
connector. If the
fault is not fixed,
replace the airbag
harness.
Go to step 2.
2CHECK THE BELT TENSION SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Disconnect the belt tension sensor connec-
tor (AB56) from the airbag harness.
3) Connect the test harness AC to the con-
nector (AB56).
4) Connect the battery ground terminal and
turn the ignition switch to ON.
Does the airbag warning light
illuminate for approximately 6
seconds and go off?
Replace the seat
belt outer. SB-10, REMOVAL,

3 CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Disconnect the test harness AC from the
belt tension sensor connector (AB56).
3) Connect the test harness AD (1AD) to the
connector (AB56).
4) Disconnect the airbag harness connector
(AB61), and connect the connector (1AB) in
test harness AB.
5) Measure the resistance between test har-
ness terminals.

(2AB) No. 4 — (2AD) No. 3:
(2AB) No. 6 — (2AD) No. 2:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
Go to step 4.Replace the airbag
harness with chas-
sis harness.

Measure the resistance between test harness
terminals, and between test harness terminal
and chassis ground.

MΩ?
Go to step 5.Replace the airbag
harness with chas-
sis harness.
5 CHECK THE AIRBAG HARNESS.

turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between test harness
and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2AD) No. 1 — chassis ground:
(2AD) No. 3 — chassis ground:
Is the voltage less than 1 V? Replace the airbag
harness with chas-
sis harness.
Check the seat
harness, and if any
fault is found,
