Communication For Initializing Impossible

When communication with the radar sensor is impossible

Detecting condition: 

Trouble symptom: 

Communication is impossible between radar sensor and Subaru Select Monitor.

Wiring diagram: 

NOTE: For the coupling connector, refer to "WIRING SYSTEM".

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK FUSE. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Check the fuse for radar sensor LH. Ref. to RELAY AND FUSE
Is the check result OK? Go to step 2  Replace the fuse. If the replaced fuse has blown out immediately, repair the short circuit to ground in harness between fuse and radar sensor LH.
2 CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 
  1. Disconnect the radar sensor LH connector.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Using a tester, measure the voltage between radar sensor LH connector (harness side) and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (R25) No. 5 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage 10 V or more? Go to step 3  . Repair the open circuit of harness between fuse and radar sensor LH connector.
3 CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Using a tester, measure the resistance between radar sensor LH connector (harness side) and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (R25) No. 10 - Chassis ground: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 4  . Repair the open circuit in harness between radar sensor and chassis ground.
4 CHECK LAN SYSTEM. 
  1. Connect the radar sensor LH connector.
  2. Inspect LAN system. Ref. to BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 
Is the check result OK? Go to step 5  Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.
5 CHECK RADAR SENSOR. 
Communicate with the radar sensor.
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 radar sensor LH. Ref. to RADAR SENSOR
