That’s all the functionality that the SSM4 offers, so I switched tools. Keys can only be erased if you have a registered keys, and this unit didn’t think it’s previously registered keys belonged to it anymore, so erasing keys wasn’t a possibility. The maximum number of keys that can be registered is 4, and new keys can’t be registered if 4 keys are registered. Maybe they were magically generated while the BIU was in factory mode? Maybe there were actually 4 keys registered but the customer only knew about 2? Maybe there was a space/time distortion and my dumb ass just happened to be sitting in a Forester in the exact location where it occurred. Where did these extra keys come from? I think that will remain a mystery. This particular BIU said it had 4 keys registered, even though it only had the two original keys that came with the car. Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! This info can be found (with considerable effort) at Subaru’s tech-info site. Then you’ll need to know the code for the market. It just “happened” one time when I went to the “customize” screen. I certainly did, and in the end, I’m not sure how I was able to do it. If you switch it to “Factory” which is how the unit is shipped, you may have a very hard time getting to the screen where you can set it back to the correct market. This setting is the market setting (like is this car made for the US market or the Canadian market). One setting you shouldn’t modify is “Market”. You can modify some settings with the Subaru Select Monitor 4 (SSM4).
Subaru can’t make up their mind about their number format, so I don’t see how anybody else can. This particular BIU has a part number of 88281SG600 or 88281 SG600, depending on how you like to space your Subaru numbers. The BIU controls all of the functions you’d expect a body control unit to control, but it is also a key piece of the immobilizer system. If you too are struggling with a Forester immobilizer, maybe this will help. Here are some of the things I learned about the Subaru body control unit, which they call either the integ. Get comfortable, this is a very long story. As if that weren’t bad enough, our customer was convinced that we “broke” the keyless entry while doing an air conditioning service the day prior.
Hooray! It’s always nice when you can take a bad situation and make it worse. Unfortunately the car originally came in for keyless entry not working, but I was able to upgrade the complaint to no-start. I had a bit of a struggle with a Subaru Forester that wouldn’t start. Most people won’t be interested in this page, but it may help a few, so here you go.
