Touch Sensors - Subaru Legacy 2015 Technicians Reference Booklet

2015 Legacy and Outback

Touch Sensors

The pinch or Touch Sensor of the Outback PRG is comprised of four individual sensor strips that
are wired in series, providing only one input to the PRG control unit. Each side of the gate has
upper and lower sensor strips that are connected together under the upper edge trim of the lower
sensor. The lower sensor strips are bolted into place while the upper sensor strips are held in
place by an adhesive strip. Never re-use an upper sensor strip once it has been removed from
the vehicle.
Note: If the rear window glass is removed, the upper sensor strips must be replaced.
Touch Sensors
Always separate the upper and lower sensor strips during diagnostics to isolate an open or short
circuit of the individual sensors strips.
Connector
A single DTC, B2524 Touch Sensor Failure, is provided to indicate a problem with the Touch Sensor.
Note: The line drawing of the Touch Sensor in the PRG Diagnostics section of the
service manual does not include the detail needed to perform diagnostics.
Always refer to the PRG wiring schematics in the electrical section of the Subaru
Service Manual.
