Security gateway bypass question

[MoparFin]

I installed a bypass with a Bluetooth/WiFi connection. OBD connection under dash is not working? Has power but reader will not connect.

Thoughts?

Did you pair the OBD adapter to your phone?

 

[MoparFin]

Yes. That works. I am trying to use code reader on OBD connection under dash. Took it for inspection and their computer will not connect

Yes. See above.

 

[SitKneelBend]

Yes. See above.

So the inspection station for your state? If I'm not mistaken many remove the bypass when going to dealers, maybe the same is required for the inspection equipment?

Yes. State inspection station.

Yes. State inspection station.

So many makers of these security bypasses also sell relocation/extension kits to make it easier to remove the bypass for situations like this. I would remove the bypass and take it in for inspection to see if it resolved the issue (I'm betting it will).

Yeah. My dumb a$$ took the module out and chucked it. eBay replacement on order. $60 mistake.

Oh, are you saying you removed the factory SGM completely? I believe the purpose of the SGM bypasses are to leave the SGM in place but allow writes to the various vehicles modules using the bypass cable. I was unaware that the SGM is removable or able to be thrown away. If so, you will definitely want that back and maybe someone else can chime in to say if the SGMs themselves are plug and play or require programming?

EDIT: It's possible by tossing the SGM their is no access to your OBDII port at all because the line is connected to nothing. Can you access and/or read any information from your OBDII port?

So the way the cable I bought worked, the SGM was not hooked up at all, so I figured it wasn’t needed.

And no, the port does not work. I have power to it, but the reader does not communicate. Which is my whole issue.

I can get codes from both my stereo(aftermarket) and the WiFi vGate Icar module I have in there.

You might be connecting to the radio via a separate onboard interface. Which SGM bypass did you purchase?

Oh I definitely am. I used iMeastro or however it’s spelled for the stereo.

I used this cable, with an vgate icar scanner tool.

I had a similar issue, found out that I put the 2 cables on the CAN bus backwards. Didn't know at the time it mattered which one went to which side. (whte/green). Swapped them and everything worked. Luckily here in NV for Diesel inspection, they don't access the computers, just measure the exhaust gasses.

 

[MoparFin]

Well. Installed a new security gateway module and it’s all good now.
