1. HOW TO USE SUBARU SELECT MONITOR

NOTE:

4. FREEZE FRAME DATA

NOTE:

• Data stored at the time of trouble occurrence is shown on display.
• Each time a trouble occurs, the latest information is stored in the freeze frame data in memory.
• If a freeze frame data is not properly stored in memory (due to a drop in VDCCM power supply, etc.), a DTC suffixed with a question mark "?" appears on the Subaru Select Monitor display. This shows it may be an unreliable reading.

5. PARAMETER SELECTION

CAUTION:

• Subaru Select Monitor is required for parameter selection.
• This function can be used for the replacement part of VDCCM&H/U.

NOTE:

• When the VDCCM&H/U is replaced with a replacement part, be sure to perform the parameter selection/registration to the VDCCM&H/U using this function.
• To confirm the applied model, refer to the "model number plate" attached on the vehicle. <Ref. to ID- 2, IDENTIFICATION, Identification.>
• When the applied model is entered wrong, re-entry is possible.
• When the registration has not been performed, the DTC code "Parameter selection error" is detected together with the ABS/EBD/VDC warning light illumination.

1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor.

2) On "Main Menu" display, select {Each System Check}.

3) On "System Selection Menu" display, select {Brake Control System}.

4) When {VDC} is displayed, select the [OK] button.

7) Enter the applied model of 7-digit alphanumeric characters and press the [Enter] key.

8) When the option code input screen appears after entering the applied model, enter the option code consisting of 4-digit alphanumeric characters, and press the [Enter] key When the option code is 3 digits, add "0" in front and enter the code as 4 digits.

9) When the confirmation screen indicating the vehicle information appears, check that the correct applied model and grade are displayed and click the [OK] button.

NOTE: When the displayed applied model and grade are different from those of the vehicle, perform registration operations again after clicking the [OK] button.
