1.CHECK FUSE. Check the fuse. | | Replace the fuse. If the replaced fuse blows out easily, repair the ground short circuit in the harness between the battery and power rear gate CM. | Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE |
2.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Disconnect the power rear gate CM connector in the order of (R423) > (R422). 3) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 4) Using a tester, measure the voltage between the power rear gate CM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (R422) No. 12 (+) — Chassis ground (−): (R423) No. 6 (+) — Chassis ground (−): | Is the voltage 10 — 13 V- | Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE | Repair the open circuit of harness between the power rear gate CM connector and fuse. |
3.CHECK HARNESS. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the power rear gate CM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (R423) No. 4 — Chassis ground: | Is the resistance less than 1 -- | Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE | Repair the open circuit of harness between the power rear gate CM connector and chassis ground. |
4.CHECK BODY INTEGRATED UNIT. Check the body control system. Basic Diagnostic Procedure | | Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for body control system. | Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE |
5.CHECK POWER REAR GATE CM. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Connect the power rear gate CM connector in the order of (R422) > (R423). 3) Communicate with the power rear gate CM using the Subaru Select Monitor. | Is communication possible- | The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause. | Replace the power rear gate CM. Power Rear Gate Control Module |
