How to Access and Unlock the FCA SGW by TOPDON Diagnostic Tool?

TOPDON’s diagnostic scanners have been officially relisted on AutoAuth! This means enhanced access to the Secure Gateway Module (SGW) on 2017 and newer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles U.S.

1. Which vehicles equiped with FCA SGW?

2. What’s FCA US SGW?

FCA vehicles (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) have been protected with an SGW security module (Secure since 2017 Gateway) to prevent unauthorized diagnostics and security attacks.

This module limits diagnostic capabilities without authorized diagnostic tools. This limits functions ranging from Bi-directional testing to DTC clearing. The vehicle’s SGW will need to be “unlocked” by the authenticated tester, and the Diagnostic tools.

If you are a shop owner, you will first need to register a user account as a technician, then register your shop. (There is an annual $50 fee per shop).
1) This membership covers up to 6 users (this includes the owner).
2) Each additional user is $2/year.

Note: There are multiple packages on AutoAuth’s website, and the shop owner can choose the one that best suits their needs. The payment is charged by AutoAuth directly. TOPDON is not involved in any transaction process.

If you are a technician, you can create an account using the AutoAuth software application for free, and then provide your username to the shop you work at, the shop’s account owner, and add it to your workplace’s membership list.
