This message occurs when the ECU data is different from what the AP has been
programmed to consider acceptable for your particular vehicle. It is possible
your ECU is a newer version that has not yet been inspected by our engineers.
Subaru has been known to use new versions in vehicles before they are made
available through the dealer parts network.
AccessPORTs built after March 1st, 2005 should all have this problem resolved.
If you are receiving this message, it is possible your AP has an older firmware
revision. Contact Technical support for instructions on how to send your AP in
for an update. This cannot be performed remotely.
