Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

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.

Is the indicated reading on the 
monitor display 

−1.5 —1.5 m/

s

2

?

Go to step 2.

Go to step 3.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Is there poor contact in con-
nector between VDCCM&H/U 
and yaw rate & lateral G sen-
sor?

Repair the con-
nector.

Go to step 10.

3

CHECK YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR 
POWER SUPPLY.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B230) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (

−

):

Is the voltage 10 — 15 V?

Go to step 6.

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF VDCCM&H/
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 yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor and 
VDCCM&H/U.

Go to step 5.

5

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

nector?

Correct or replace 
the connector.

Go to step 10.

6

CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT IN LATERAL G SEN-
SOR OUTPUT HARNESS.
1) Disconnect the connector from yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor.
2) Disconnect the connector from VDCCM&H/
U.
3) Measure the resistance between 
VDCCM&H/U and yaw rate & lateral G sensor.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 3 — (B230) No. 5:

Is the resistance less than 0.5 
Ω?

Go to step 7.

Repair the har-
ness connector 
between yaw rate 
& lateral G sensor 
and VDCCM&H/U.

7

CHECK GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT FOR 
YAW RATE & LATERAL G SENSOR HAR-
NESS.
Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U 
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B310) No. 3 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 
M

Ω?

Go to step 8.

Repair the har-
ness connector 
between yaw rate 
& lateral G sensor 
and VDCCM&H/U.

8

CHECK LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Remove the yaw rate & lateral G sensor 
from vehicle.
3) Connect the connector to the yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor.
4) Connect the connector to VDCCM&H/U.
5) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
6) Measure the voltage between yaw rate & 
lateral G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B230) No. 5 (+) — No. 6 (

−

):

Is the voltage 2.35 — 2.65 V 
when yaw rate & lateral G sen-
sor is on level?

Go to step 9.

Replace the yaw 
rate & lateral G 
sensor.

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

9

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

nector between VDCCM&H/U 
and yaw rate & lateral G sen-
sor?

Repair the con-
nector.

Go to step 10.

10

CHECK VDCCM&H/U.
1) Connect all the connectors.
2) Perform the clear memory mode.
3) Perform the inspection mode.
4) 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 11.

11

CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Perform the diag-
nosis according to 
DTC.

Temporary poor 
contact occurs.

Check

Yes

No
