Bosch ADS Series tools are licensed by FCA to support secure access to unlock the Secure Gateway Module (SGW) found in late model vehicles - seamlessly and within seconds.
What is Secure Gateway Module (SGW) and what is impacted?
- More OEMs are implementing security measures on new vehicle models to protect the vehicle’s communication networks from potential cyber-attack exposure
- Starting with most 2018 models, FCA implemented a Secure Gateway Module (SGW), similar to a “firewall”, to protect the vehicle network
- Only licensed diagnostic tools with internet access are compliant to properly unlock the SGW's tester authentication process to perform certain diagnostic functions
- Diagnostic functions requiring SGW unlock:
- Clearing DTCs
- All bi-directional functions (calibrations, relearns, actuations, and adjustments)
What are the requirements to access SGW-equipped vehicles?
