2022 Subaru Forester Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I got the call from an alignment shop off Oxnard Boulevard, not from the Forester owner directly. That's usually a sign the situation already went sideways once.
A locksmith had been out earlier to replace a lost smart key on a 2022 Forester. Partway through programming, the car battery sagged under the load. The immobilizer module caught that mid-sequence and went into a security lockout. The locksmith packed his tools and left. The alignment shop had the car sitting in their lot, owner stranded, no working keys.
When I got there, the car wouldn't respond to anything. No fob recognition, no push-button start, nothing. The module was sitting in a fault state from the interrupted sequence.
First thing I did was clamp my jump pack to hold voltage steady. That's non-negotiable on a 2022 Subaru when you're talking to the security system. A brown-out mid-handshake is exactly how you get to where this car already was.
I cleared the fault state through the diagnostic port before touching any key programming. Once the module came back clean, I ran the full smart key registration. The replacement fob learned on the first attempt.
Then the part that actually matters: I walked every function. Lock, unlock, the push-button start, door handle detection, all four buttons. Everything behaved. The owner had been standing near the service desk the whole time, watching through the window. When I waved him out and handed him a working key, he just said "that other guy was here two hours."
I was there about ninety minutes total. He saved a significant amount compared to what a dealer flatbed-and-multi-day-wait would have run him. But honestly, the bigger thing was that his car was driveable again the same afternoon, right there in Oxnard.
