Subaru Immobilizer system. SSM4 (Subaru Select Monitor) required for key programming and module replacement. Security pin required; akl supported.
Yes. Core Auto Logic supports generation-scoped module programming for the Subaru Forester (2009-2013). The merged generation data includes ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS coverage. Rows marked with a year range apply only to that part of the span; unmarked rows are present across the merged generation data.
The Subaru Forester (2009-2013) generation currently shows 19 core module records across ECU/PCM, BCM, TCU/TCM, ABS/EBCM, and SRS groups. SRS modules include Airbag Control Module (ACM). Part numbers and module variants must be confirmed for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 98221 SC010 - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
Yes. The generation data includes 8 SRS records, including Airbag Control Module (ACM). Bench reset, cloning, and replacement setup are handled after part-number review. Any SRS part number shown for this generation is planning data only - confirm for your exact year/VIN. Reference part number: 98221 SC010 - confirm for your exact year/VIN.
No assumption should be made across the full span. The generation page merges rows across 2009-2013; any row that does not span all data-bearing years is printed with its year range or treated as varies by year - verify by VIN. Part numbers always require exact year/VIN confirmation before ordering, cloning, or programming.
Yes, where the VIN and security workflow support it. The generation data includes 3 gateway, immobilizer, or key-security records. Key records are present in the merged generation data. Security access, all-keys-lost eligibility, and add-key workflows vary by year - verify by VIN.
Most programming, cloning, SRS, immobilizer, and key-security jobs are quoted after VIN, DTC, part number, and repair-scope review. Service time varies by module type, condition, security access, and the active mobile service path. Mail-in module intake is temporarily unavailable; do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.
Mobile service covers DFW on-vehicle diagnostics, key programming, post-repair coding, and supported module work. Mail-in module intake is temporarily unavailable. We confirm the active path for your exact year/VIN before scheduling; do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.
