GATEWAY HEALTH CHECK 

 

The Gateway Health Check is a quick test to confirm that the Gateway is operating normally or to verify 
a failure. It uses visual observation of the status light and the Configuration Utility to determine the 
health of the system. Failure of any checklist step below indicates a problem to be resolved. 

This check is easily performed remotely through a Wi-Fi connection. Note that the vehicle must provide 
adequate power for a successful health check. Error free steps 2 through 6 imply that the Status light is 
indicating normally.
