IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innova Electronics Corporation today announced it is now authorized by AutoAuth and Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles U.S. (FCA), to enable Innova SDS43 Inspector scan tool users to access the Secure Gateway to perform enhanced functions on 2018 and newer Chrysler, RAM, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.
The Innova SDS43 features workshop tools with 12 of the most commonly used dealer-level service functions, resets, relearns, self-tests and calibrations used for service and repairs on the most current vehicles. However, in more recent models from manufacturers like Chrysler, Dodge, RAM and Jeep, a Secure Gateway (SGW) module has been integrated into the vehicle’s network to secure on-board communications. Similar to a firewall, this module blocks unauthorized access to the vehicle’s network, protecting both the vehicle systems and its users. SGW implementation will restrict certain functions such as Erase OEM DTCs and OEM Special Functions such as an Active Test on an actuator.
Unlocking the SGW with the RepairSolutionsPRO-compatible Innova SDS43 is a simple and effective way to ensure users have access to the latest information. Gaining access to these restricted functions allows techs to further diagnose and repair newer Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and RAM models.
SGW access utilizes the RSPRO companion app to pass information back and forth between AutoAuth and Chrysler’s servers, which require Wi-Fi and internet access. To unlock FCA Secure Gateway Module-protected vehicles, SDS43 users should make sure they have the latest firmware (V23.07.22 or higher) and complete a one-time account set up with AutoAuth (additional cost may apply). SDS43 tablet updates are free and can be found here. Tablet users can also check the firmware version information from the Settings Menu on the tablet’s Homepage.
