To further enhance vehicle security, this new procedure requires connection to a secure SBR server for authentication and to access immobilizer information. An 8-digit “Authentication Key” supplied by SBR will be a required input when working with SSM4. Unlike the previous system where Teaching Codes have been unchanged, the new Authentication Key will change every 6 months. This bulletin will be updated with the latest Authentication Key as it becomes available. The new vehicles utilize an Immobilizer Type “G” or “H” system depending on model: • G: Vehicles with a turn key ignition switch • H: Keyless Access with Push-Button Start.\"","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10164191-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10164191-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10164191","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"SUBARU","model":"LEGACY","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_subaru_legacy"]},{"make":"SUBARU","model":"OUTBACK","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_subaru_outback"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
