ECU Security Key Writing
Confirm ECU Security Key Writing Requirement
After ECU replacement, it is important to confirm if ECU Security Key writing is necessary. There
are two methods available to confirm if the ECU Security Key writing function is required within
the GTS+ software: performing a Health Check and using the ECU Security Key button.
Health Check
Performing a Health Check will confirm if ECU Security Key writing is needed. The GTS+ Health
Check Results screen has been enhanced to include an ECU Security Key indicator. The ECU
Security Key indicator will display “Necessary” when an ECU Security Key needs to be written
and “-” when ECU Security Key writing is NOT required.

required. From the Main Menu screen, select the ECU Security Key button.
