STEP CHECK SHEET

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.  Do you have a Subaru Select Monitor? Go to step 5.  Go to step 2. 
2 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the G sensor from vehicle.
  3. Connect the connector to G sensor.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  5. Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal 
(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (-): 
Is the voltage 2.3+/-0.2 V when G sensor is horizontal? Go to step 3.  Replace the G sensor.
3 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.
Connector & terminal 
(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (-): 
Is the voltage 3.9+/-0.2 V when G sensor is inclined forwards to 90°? Go to step 4.  Replace the G sensor.
4 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.
Connector & terminal 
(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (): 
Is the voltage 0.7+/-0.2 V when G sensor is inclined backwards to 90°? G sensor is normal. Replace the G sensor.
5 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  3. Turn the Subaru Select Monitor into {BRAKE CONTROL} mode.
  4. Set the display in the {Current Data Display & Save} mode.
  5. Read the G sensor output voltage.
Is the indicated reading 0+/-0.1 m/s2 when the vehicle is in horizontal position? Go to step 6.  Replace the G sensor.
6 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Remove the console box.
  2. Remove the G sensor from vehicle. (Do not disconnect the connector.)
  3. Read the Subaru Select Monitor display.
Is the indicated reading 9.8+/-0.1 m/s2 when G sensor is inclined forwards to 90°? Go to step 7.  Replace the G sensor.
7 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Read the Subaru Select Monitor display.
Is the indicated reading -9.8+/-0.1 m/s2 when G sensor is inclined backwards to 90°? G sensor is normal. Replace the G sensor.
