All Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) vehicles manufactured after 2018 are equipped with a Security Gateway (SGW) module, which protects the vehicle's network from potential threats via the CAN bus. Simply connecting to the OBD II-16 connector may not enable communication with these vehicles. To bypass this restriction, use the FCA 12 + 8 cable, which connects to both the 12PIN and 8PIN connectors on the vehicle. This cable ensures proper communication, overcoming the SGW module's limitations.
