AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTICS)
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”.

9CHECK THE HARNESS BETWEEN THE AIR-
BAG CONTROL MODULE AND DATA LINK
CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the battery ground cable, and wait more than
20 seconds.
2) Disconnect the connector (AB6) from air-
bag control module.
3) Connect the connector (1U) in the test har-
ness U to connector (AB6).
4) Measure the resistance between connector
(4U) in the test harness U and the data link
connector.
Connector & terminal
(4U) No. 18 — (B40) No. 10:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
Go to step 10.Repair the har-
ness between the
airbag control
module and the
data link connec-
tor. Or replace the
airbag main har-
ness with the bulk-
head harness.
10 CHECK POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between connector
(2U) in the test harness U and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2U) No. 1 — Chassis ground:
(2U) No. 6 — Chassis ground:
Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 11.Repair the har-
ness between the
airbag control
module and the
battery. Or replace
the airbag main
harness with the
bulkhead harness.
11 CHECK BETWEEN THE AIRBAG CONTROL
MODULE AND CHASSIS GROUND.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between connector
(2U) in the test harness U and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(2U) No. 10 — Chassis ground:
(2U) No. 11 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 10
Ω?
Go to step 12.Repair the har-
ness between the
airbag control
module and the
chassis ground. Or
replace the airbag
main harness with
the bulkhead har-
ness.
12 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.Is there poor contact in the
control module power supply,
ground circuit and data link
connector?
Repair the con-
nector. (Replace
the harness with-
out repairing the
airbag system
connector.)
Replace the only
airbag control
module.

12.Airbag Warning Light Failure
A: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON
DETECTING CONDITION:
•Airbag warning light is faulty.
•Airbag control module to airbag warning light circuit is shorted or open.
•Grounding circuit is faulty.
•Airbag control module is faulty.
•Connection of (AB1) and (B31) is improper.
•Connection of (AB6) to airbag control module is improper.
CAUTION:
•Before diagnosing the airbag system, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect the
ground terminal from battery, and wait more than 20 seconds before starting to work.
•After replacing the airbag module, seat belt pretensioner, roll connector, control module and sen-
sor, reconnect each part and confirm that the warning light operates properly.
•When inspecting the airbag main harness, disconnect the airbag module connectors and seat belt
pretensioners of the driver’s and passenger’s seats for safety reasons.
