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.

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
GR8-1100 and their Power Supply Mode feature have been tested and approved by SOA.
REMINDER: If the DCA-8000 or GR8-1100 indicates the vehicle’s battery must be charged, charge
it fully using the DCA-8000 or GR8-1100 before proceeding to reprogram the vehicle 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.

* A TCM with software version 30919AH14E as the current software status will require an additional
step when reprograming. Until further revision is announced, the Temporary PAK file used in WRK21/22 MUST be reprogrammed to the TCM before the 30919AH14G file can be installed.
NOTE: The temporary reprogramming files used in WRK-21/22 are not to be used for CVT chain
slip diagnosis on vehicles currently unaffected by WRK-21/22.
After reprogramming is successful proceed to STEP 6.

STEP 6: Replace ALL of the applicable parts outlined in the Part Information section of this bulletin.
The service procedures for transfer clutch disassembly, assembly, and adjustment remain unchanged.
Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being
performed. The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective
repair the first time, every time. This includes but is not limited to important SAFETY precautions,
proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools, required processes and related one-time-use parts
needed for a complete and lasting repair.
Refer to STIS: Transmission/Transaxle > Transfer Clutch > REMOVAL, INSPECTION,
DISASSEMBLY, ASSEMBLY, & ADJUSTMENT.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
•

The CVT should be in the Neutral position when installing the park rod arm and the tail
housing. With the vehicle in Neutral, the park arm is relaxed. The vehicle in park, the arm
wants to lock into the plate/ gear and pawl arm is pushing up.

•

The Service Manual uses a black star () in the component breakdown illustration to
indicate one-time use parts

•

Refer to the applicable Service Manual and review: General Description > Repair Contents
> Action required before & after Battery Disconnect. Additionally, record any stored seat
position(s) before proceeding. Relearn any seat position memory after work is complete. If
the power rear gate (PRG) height has been customized, that position must also be noted and
relearned.

•

Whenever reconnecting the ground cable terminal to the battery sensor, torque to 7.5Nm
(5.5ft.-lbs. or 66inch-lbs.) while supporting the sensor with the other hand as outlined in the
applicable Service Manual under: STARTING/CHARGING SYSTSEMS > Battery Sensor.
