Autel diagnostic scan tablets have been certified by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to access the Secure Gateway Module (SGW) on 2017 and newer FCA vehicles. This access, granted through AutoAuth, allows technicians to perform diagnostics and bi-directional controls that were previously restricted.
Understanding the AutoAuth Secure Gateway
The SGW acts as a firewall, protecting vehicle networks and crucial systems from unauthorized access. Implemented by FCA, the Autoauth Secure Gateway prevents non-registered users from performing intrusive diagnostics. Prior to the AutoAuth Secure Gateway, actions like bi-directional controls (calibrations, relearns, and actuations) and even simple code clearing were blocked on these vehicles.
Accessing the SGW with AutoAuth
Autel tablet users gain access to the SGW and its functionalities by registering with AutoAuth, a secure authentication service. This registration process involves a yearly fee, allowing up to six users per subscription with options to add more users for a nominal fee. Shops can register up to 100 Autel tablets on the AutoAuth platform.
Autel distributes the necessary software to all North American market tablets with active software subscriptions. Users with expired subscriptions can renew their Total Care Program through authorized Autel dealers to gain AutoAuth Secure Gateway access.
Why AutoAuth Secure Gateway is Important
The AutoAuth secure gateway ensures that only authorized technicians can access and modify critical vehicle systems. This protects vehicle owners from potential harm caused by unqualified individuals attempting repairs or modifications. Furthermore, it allows FCA to maintain control over its vehicle systems and ensure proper diagnostic procedures are followed.
Autel and AutoAuth Collaboration
The collaboration between Autel and AutoAuth provides a seamless solution for technicians working on FCA vehicles. By integrating the AutoAuth Secure Gateway access into Autel’s diagnostic tablets, it streamlines the authentication process and ensures technicians have the necessary tools to diagnose and repair these vehicles efficiently.
