Basic Diagnostic Procedure
BRAKE VACUUM CONTROL (BVC) (DIAGNOSTICS)
1. Basic Diagnostic Procedure
A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
•Subaru Select Monitor is required for reading DTC, reading the current data and clearing the mem-
ory.
•Remove foreign matter (dust, water, oil, etc.) from the engine control module (ECM) connector
when removing or installing.
NOTE:
•To check the harness for broken wires or short circuits, shake problem spot or connector.
•Refer to “Check List for Interview”.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK PRE-INSPECTION.
1) Ask the customer when and how the trou-
ble occurred using interview check list.
BVC(diag)-3, Check List for Interview.>
2) Check the error display. (Odo/trip meter)
Is “Er-bb” displayed on the
screen?
Go to step 3.Go to step 2.
2BASIC INSPECTION
Check the components which might affect the
brake vacuum control.
INSPECTION, General Description.>
Is the component that might
affect the vacuum control nor-
mal?
Go to step 3.Repair or replace
each component.
3CHECK INDICATION OF DTC.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data
link connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and the Sub-
aru Select Monitor power switch to ON.
4) Read the DTC.
OPERATION, Read Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC).>
5) Record all DTC.
Is DTC displayed? Go to step 5.Go to step 4.
4PERFORM GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS.
Inspect using “General Diagnostic Table”.

Is result of inspection OK? Finish the diagno-
sis.
Go to step 5.
5PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS.
1) Correct the cause of trouble according to
DTC.
