Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

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 2.

Tighten the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor installation 
bolt.

2

CHECK LATERAL G SENSOR OUTPUT.
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in 
Subaru Select Monitor.
3) Read the lateral G sensor output displayed 
on display screen.

Is the indicated reading on the 
monitor display 

−1.5 —1.5 m/

s

2

?

Go to step 3.

Replace the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor.

3

CHECK LATERAL G SENSOR OUTPUT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Remove the yaw rate & lateral G sensor 
from vehicle.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON, and select 
{Current Data Display & Save} in Subaru 
Select Monitor.
4) Read the lateral G sensor output displayed 
on display.

When the yaw rate & lateral G 
sensor is inclined 90

° to the 

right, is the indicated value 6.8 

— 12.8 m/s

2

?

Go to step 4.

Replace the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor.

4

CHECK LATERAL G SENSOR.

sensor is inclined 90

° to the 

left, is the indicated value 

−6.8 

— 

−12.8 m/s

2

?

Go to step 5.
