Warning Light Illumination Pattern: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- When warning lights or indicator lights do not illuminate in accordance with this illumination pattern, there must be an electrical malfunction.
- When warning lights or indicator lights remain constantly OFF, check the combination meter circuit or CAN communication circuit. < Refer to ABS WARNING LIGHT, VDC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT, VDC WARNING LIGHT AND VDC INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT COME ON , Warning Light Illumination Pattern. > < Refer to HILL START ASSIST WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON , Warning Light Illumination Pattern. >
- When the ABS warning light, VDC OFF indicator light, VDC warning light & VDC indicator light, and hill start assist warning light do not go off, check the combination meter circuit and CAN communication circuit. < Refer to

VDC WARNING LIGHT AND VDC INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT GO OFF , Warning Light Illumination Pattern. > < Refer to
HILL START ASSIST WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF , Warning Light Illumination Pattern. >NOTE:
- Even though the ABS warning light does not go off after 2 seconds from ABS warning light illumination, the ABS system operates normally when the warning light goes off while driving at approximately 12 km/h (7 MPH). However, the ABS system does not work while the ABS warning light is illuminated.
- It may take several minutes before the VDC warning light & VDC indicator light goes off, if the vehicle is parked under low temperature for a specified time. This is not defective because it is resulted from low engine coolant temperature.
- With the vehicle jack-up/lift-up or set on free rollers, when the wheels lock or spin after starting the engine, ABS warning light, and VDC warning light & VDC indicator light may illuminate because VDCCM& H/U detects the abnormal conditions from ABS wheel speed sensors. In this case, this is not a malfunction. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. < Refer to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . >
