Security Link™
This feature is not available on all diagnostic tools.
To protect vehicle communication networks from unauthorized access, OEM’s are implementing secure gateway modules that only allow authorized users to access certain diagnostic functions using an approved diagnostic tool.
To use Security Link you will need a compatible Snap-on diagnostic tool, and create an account as well as a Snap-on profile.
For more information on how to setup these accounts and get authorized:

Watch the "How to..." video in this link, then follow along with the setup steps below. Link opens in new browser tab.
Currently Security Link is only compatible with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) 2018+ models.
