1. READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
1. Prepare the Subaru Select Monitor kit. 
2. Prepare PC with Subaru Select Monitor installed.
3. Connect the SDI (Subaru Diagnostic Interface) to the PC USB port (exclusively for Subaru Selector Monitor) using a USB cable.
NOTE:
Port exclusively for Subaru Select Monitor refers to the USB port used when installing Subaru Select Monitor.
4. Connect the diagnosis cable to the SDI.
5. Connect the SDI to the data link connector located in the lower portion of the instrument panel (on the driver’s side).
CAUTION:
Do not connect the scan tools other than the Subaru Select Monitor.
6. Start the PC.
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and run the “PC application for Subaru Select Monitor”.
8. On the «Main Menu», select {Each System Check}.
9. On the «System Selection Menu», select {Brake Control}.
10. Click the [OK] button after the {VDC} is displayed.
11. On the «Brake Control Diagnosis» screen, select {DTC Display}.
12. Record the DTC and data.
NOTE:
• For detailed operation procedure, refer to the “PC application help for Subaru Select Monitor”.
• For details concerning DTCs, refer to “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.
• Up to 3 DTCs are displayed in the order of detection.
• If a particular DTC is not stored in memory properly at the occurrence of problem (due to a drop in VDCCM&H/U power supply etc.), the DTC suffixed with a question mark “?” is displayed on Subaru Select Monitor display screen. This shows it may be an unreliable reading.
13. If VDC and Subaru Select Monitor cannot communicate, check the communication circuit.

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 the «Main Menu» display, select {Each System Check}.

8. 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.
9. Execute Clear Memory after parameter selection and registration operations because the DTC for “Parameter selection failure” is memorized.
NOTE:
The parameter data registered in the VDCCM is shown on the display.
