Secure Gateway

OEM approved solutions to vehicle security access requirements

Mitchell MD-200/350 are FCA-approved for 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 newer vehicle models to protect the vehicle’s communication networks from potential cyber-attack exposure and hacking
• Starting with most 2018 models, FCA implemented a Secure Gateway Module (SGW), similar to a “firewall”, to protect the vehicle network
• Only certified diagnostic tools with Wi-Fi access are compliant to properly unlock the gateway’s tester authentication process to perform these diagnostic functions
• Functions requiring SGW unlock:
  • Clearing DTCs
  • All bi-directional functions (calibrations, relearns, actuations and adjustments)

What are the requirements to access SGW-equipped vehicles?
