As one of the key components of the vehicle electronic system, the security gateway module is responsible for monitoring communications between various vehicle subsystems and ensuring data integrity and security. It protects against malicious attacks and unauthorized access, providing an additional layer of security.
Most typically 2018 and newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles are built with a component called a security gateway. This protects your vehicle's computer from hackers over cellular networks.
In addition, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen all have their own security gateway modules.
Autel scanners are certified by FCA to access the SGW module and can successfully access the security gateway module on 2017 and newer FCA vehicles.
