Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK POWER SUPPLY FOR STEERING 
ANGLE SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from steering 
angle sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between steering 
angle sensor and chassis ground.

−

):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Go to step 4.

Go to step 2.

2

U.
Measure the voltage between VDCCM&H/U 
and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 30 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Repair the har-
ness between 
steering angle 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS. Is there poor contact in con-

nector?

Correct or replace 
the connector.

4

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT OF STEERING 
ANGLE SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between steering 
angle sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B231) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 
Ω?

Go to step 5.

Repair ground cir-
cuit in the steering 
angle sensor.

5

CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.
3) Perform the clear memory mode.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Go to step 6.

Go to step 8.

6

CHECK VDCCM&H/U.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Replace the steering angle sensor.
3) Perform the clear memory mode.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the 
VDCCM&H/U. 
<Ref. to VDC-7, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(VDCCM&H/U).>

Go to step 9.

7

CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.
3) Perform the clear memory mode.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Replace the 
VDCCM&H/U. 
<Ref. to VDC-7, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(VDCCM&H/U).>

Go to step 8.

8

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC.

Temporary poor 
contact occurs.

9

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK DRIVING PLACE.
Check if the vehicle ran the road with banks or 
sandy surface (which does not mean a dirt 
road).

Did the vehicle run the road 
with banks or sandy surface 
(which does not mean a dirt 
road)?

VDCCM&H/U may 
record DTC when 
the vehicle ran the 
road with banks or 
sandy surface 
(which does not 
mean a dirt road).

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR 
INSTALLATION.

Is the yaw rate & lateral G sen-
sor installation bolt tightened to 
7.5 N

⋅m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)?

Go to step 3.

Tighten the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor installation 
bolt.

3

CHECK OUTPUT OF YAW RATE & LATER-
AL G SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT 
MONITOR.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Park the vehicle straight.
3) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in 
Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Read the yaw rate output displayed on dis-
play.

Is the reading indicated on 
monitor display 

−4 — 4 deg/s?

Go to step 4.

Replace the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor.

4

CHECK OUTPUT OF STEERING ANGLE 
SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Park the vehicle straight.
3) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in 
Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Read the steering angle sensor output dis-
played on display.

Is the reading indicated on 
monitor display 

−5 — 5°?

Go to step 5.

Perform the cen-
tering adjustment 
of steering wheel.

5

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.

4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.

Is the same DTC displayed?

Go to step 6.

Go to step 7.

6

CHECK VDCCM&H/U.

VDCCM&H/U. 
<Ref. to VDC-7, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(VDCCM&H/U).>

Go to step 8.

7

nosis according to 
DTC.

Temporary poor 
contact occurs.

8

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC.
