If you're attempting to pair your Vizio S4251w-B4 subwoofer to your phone without a soundbar or remote, it might not be possible as the subwoofer is designed to work in conjunction with the soundbar. However, you can try a few steps to troubleshoot:

1. Reset the subwoofer: Locate the reset button on the subwoofer (usually at the back) and press and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the subwoofer to its factory settings and may help with pairing.

2. Confirm compatibility: Double-check that your phone supports the Bluetooth version required for pairing with the subwoofer. Additionally, make sure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled and functioning properly.

3. Check for interference: Ensure that there are no other Bluetooth devices nearby that might be interfering with the pairing process. Place the phone close to the subwoofer to improve signal strength.

4. Try different pairing methods: Some subwoofers may require a specific pairing method. Try putting the subwoofer into "pairing mode" by pressing and holding a specific button or combination of buttons, as described in the user manual (if available). Scan for devices on your phone during this time and see if it detects the subwoofer.

5. Reach out to Vizio support: If none of the above steps work, it's best to reach out to Vizio support directly. They may be able to provide additional guidance or inform you if it is necessary to have the soundbar and remote for successful pairing. Remember, without the soundbar, it may be challenging to pair the subwoofer with your phone as they are designed to work together as part of a complete audio system.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.
