STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK FUSE. Check the fuse.	Is there any fault-	Replace the fuse. If the replaced fuse blows out easily, repair the ground short circuit in the harness between the battery and immobilizer CM.	Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE
2.CHECK LAN SYSTEM. Inspect LAN system. Basic Diagnostic Procedure	Is there any fault-	Perform the inspection according to the diagnosis for LAN system.	Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE
3.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Disconnect the immobilizer CM connector. 3) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 4) Using a tester, measure the voltage between the immobilizer CM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (i34) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−): (i34) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):	Is the voltage 10 — 13 V-	Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE	Repair the open circuit of harness between the immobilizer CM connector and fuse.
4.CHECK HARNESS. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the immobilizer CM connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (i34) No. 16 — Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 1 --	Subaru Select Monitor > COMMUNICATION FOR INITIALIZING IMPOSSIBLE	Repair the open circuit of harness between the immobilizer CM connector and chassis ground.
5.CHECK IMMOBILIZER CM. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Connect the immobilizer CM connector. 3) Perform communication with the immobilizer CM.	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 immobilizer CM. Immobilizer Control Module
