SERVICE BULLETIN APPLICABILITY: 2021-22MY Crosstrek 2020-22MY Forester NUMBER: 07-205-22R DATE: 03/15/22 REVISED: 04/27/22 SUBJECT: Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD) Information/ DTC U0162 – Lost Communication with Audio Visual Navigation Display Module INTRODUCTION: This bulletin announces the availability of new reprogramming files for the Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system. Under rare conditions, the radar function of the SRVD system may experience a communication error and cause the SRVD warning message to appear. These new files provide logic to enhance CAN communication with the rear radar assembly and the head unit. If a customer experiences a SRVD warning lamp and DTC U0162 is stored within the SRVD control module, reprogram the SRVD control module with the new logic. PRODUCTION CHANGE INFORMATION: The production change information is currently TBD. PACK FILE APPLICABILITY: Model MY Crosstrek 21 Forester 20-22 File Name Decryption Keyword 87611VC002.pak 826DD595 SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION: REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs. • Reprogram the SRVD CM following the normal FlashWrite procedure. • CRITICAL: The SRVD CM will appear as RCR in the FlashWrite CPU selection box. • Radar Calibration is NOT required after reprogramming is performed. CAUTION: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS. Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. Subaru of America, Inc. is ISO 14001 Compliant ISO 14001 is the international standard for excellence in Environmental Management Systems. Please recycle or dispose of automotive products in a manner that is friendly to our environment and in accordance with all local, state and federal laws and regulations. Continued... Bulletin Number: 07-205-22R; Revised: 04/27/22 Page 1 of 3 Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) highly recommends connecting either the Subaru Midtronics DCA8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System or the Subaru Midtronics GR8-1100 Diagnostic Battery Charger to the vehicle and utilizing the Power Supply Mode feature anytime a vehicle control module is being reprogrammed. Once the Midtronics charger is connected to the vehicle, if the battery is fully charged, it takes less than three (3) minutes to boot-up the charger, select the Power Supply Mode, and have the battery voltage stabilized and ready for reprogramming. NOTES: • IMPORTANT: The NEW decryption Keyword must be noted on the repair order for any newly installed programming as this information is required for entry in the Miscellaneous Detail field during claim submission. • For instructions on using the power supply mode, reference the applicable User Manual for the Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System and the Midtronics GR81100 Diagnostic Battery Charger on STIS. • Confirm all electrical loads such as lights, audio, HVAC, seat heaters, and rear defroster are all switched OFF before setting up the charger for Power Supply Mode. • Select the correct battery type (Flooded, EFB, Gel, AGM or AGM Spiral). • Input the CCA which matches the vehicle’s battery. NOTE: OE and replacement batteries have different CCA ratings. Always confirm the battery’s CCA rating before proceeding. • If using a DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System, set the power supply voltage to13.5 volts. • DO NOT connect the DST-i or SDI until the Power Supply mode function has completed its battery test mode and the Charging Voltage has dropped to and shows a steady 13.5 Volts on the display. • Once Power Supply Mode reaches a steady 13.5 volts, connect the DST-i or SDI to the OBD connector and proceed with initiating the normal FlashWrite reprogramming process. • Amperage will fluctuate based upon the vehicle’s demand for power. NOTE: If the voltage rises beyond 14V while programming is in process, the procedure will abort. This can indicate a need to test or charge the vehicle battery before any further attempt at programming is made. REMINDER: If the DCA-8000 or GR8-1100 indicates the vehicle’s battery must be charged, charge the battery fully before proceeding to reprogram the vehicle while using the Power Supply Mode. NOTE: Control module failures resulting from battery discharge during reprogramming are not a matter for warranty. Should any DTCs reset after the reprogramming update is performed, diagnose per the procedure outlined in the applicable Service Manual. Continued... Bulletin Number: 07-205-22R; Revised: 04/27/22 Page 2 of 3 VERY IMPORTANT: This information is applicable to the Subaru Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System and the Subaru Midtronics GR8-1100 Diagnostic Battery Charger ONLY. It does not apply to any other brand / type of “generic” battery charger whatsoever. ONLY the DCA-8000 and the GR81100 and their Power Supply Mode feature have been tested and approved by SOA. Radar Calibration is NOT required after reprogramming is performed. WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION: For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period or covered by an active Subaru Added Security Classic or Gold plan, this repair may be submitted using the following claim information: Labor Description Labor Operation # Fail Code Labor Time SRVD/RCR CM Reprogramming A067-810 UXP48 0.4 IMPORTANT: The NEW decryption Keyword must be noted on the repair order for any newly installed programming as this information is required for entry in the Miscellaneous Detail field during claim submission. NOTE: The pak file listings provided in this bulletin are the latest available at the time of publishing. Updates are often released thereafter without revision to the original bulletin. For this reason, it is critical to always have the latest version of Select Monitor software installed on your system. You can confirm if a later version is available by entering the CID listed in this bulletin into FlashWrite. If a newer CID is shown as available in FlashWrite, reprogram using that file. IMPORTANT REMINDERS: • SOA strongly discourages the printing and/or local storage of service information as previously released information and electronic publications may be updated at any time. • Always check for any open recalls or campaigns anytime a vehicle is in for servicing. • Always refer to STIS for the latest service information before performing any repairs.
