If you work with troubleshooting, coding, or servicing newer vehicles from Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, or Jeep, you've probably encountered a problem: the vehicle's SGW module (Security Gateway). This component restricts access to OBD2 functions via aftermarket tools – making many advanced features unavailable.
The solution? An FCA GROUP SGW Bypass Adapter. With this tool, you unlock full diagnostic functionality again. It is available at Felkodslasare.se, Sweden's trusted source for professional car technology.
What is an SGW Bypass Adapter?
SGW stands for Security Gateway, a security module that blocks external communication between the OBD2 port and the car's ECU. It was introduced by FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) from model year 2018 onwards to protect against cyberattacks – but it has also created obstacles for legitimate workshops and car owners.
A bypass adapter connects directly to the car's internal CAN network, allowing you to use OBD2 tools as usual – without the SGW module blocking traffic.
Which vehicles use the SGW module?
The SGW module is used in several vehicles within the FCA group, including:
-
Fiat 500, Ducato, Panda, Tipo
-
Jeep Renegade, Compass, Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee
-
Alfa Romeo Giulia, Stelvio
-
Dodge RAM, Charger, Durango
-
Chrysler Pacifica, 300C
Most models from model year 2018 onwards are equipped with an SGW module.
