This is the complete set of ABRITES functionalities for Subaru vehicles, containing the SB003, SB004 and SB005 licenses. Required hardware equipment is available as a separate package.
SB003 – Faulty ESL Module Key Programming
The SB003 license allows working with Subaru vehicles that have faulty ESL modules for key programming in All Keys Lost situations. Using it, you can retrieve data from the Smart system, replace the ESL with a new or used module, and program a smart key to the vehicle.
Functionalities:
- Smart system data flash reading and programming new keys to the vehicle
- Reset and synchronize a second-hand ESL module with the Smart system
- Synchronize a new virgin ESL with the Smart system
Procedure overview: First, remove the Smart system from the vehicle and read its data flash on bench using the ABRITES ZN085 RH850/V850 Programmer. Use the read dump to prepare the TA68 (DST-AES) emulator for the Smart system. With the TA68 emulator, you can synchronize the Smart system with a new virgin ESL, or with a second-hand ESL module. After syncing, new keys can be learned using the PROTAG Programmer.
Supported vehicles:
- All keyless Subaru vehicles with proximity keys, MY 2020+
Required hardware:
- ABRITES RH850/V850 Programmer, with the CB501 cable included in its set (for reading data flash on bench)
- TA68 DST-AES transponder emulator (for ESL and Smart system sync)
SB004 – All Keys Lost & Alarm OFF Key Programming
Designed for All Keys Lost situations, the SB004 license allows automotive locksmiths and diagnostic professionals to program new keys even when no working key is available and the vehicle alarm is armed.
