FUNCTION CHECK





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.








PARAMETER SELECTION

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

NOTE:
^ When the VDCCM is replaced with a replacement part, be sure to perform the parameter selection/ registration to the VDCCM using this function.
^ To confirm the applied model, refer to the "model number plate" attached on the vehicle.
^ 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.
5) On [[Brake Control Diagnosis]] display, select {Select Parameter}.
6) Check the applied model and option code indicated in the "Model number plate".
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.
