SGW Security Gateway Bypass Cable — 2018+ Ram Cummins
$50.00
The SGW Security Gateway Bypass Cable is required hardware for flashing 2018 and newer Ram Cummins 6.7L trucks. Ram’s Security Gateway Module (SGW) blocks third-party tools from talking to the ECM over OBD-II — this cable restores that communication so you can flash.
What it looks like
A short harness with a green SGW Bypass connector body and a small 2-pin lead — not a plain OBD-II plug.
Highlights
- Required for ECM/TCM flashing on 2018+ Ram Cummins — without it, ezlynk, EFI Live, HP Tuners, and similar tools usually can’t connect
- Plug-and-play into the factory SGW connector above the OBD-II port — no permanent cut wires on a proper plug-in cable
- Can stay installed; the OBD-II port still works for normal scanning
- Does not add power by itself — it only unlocks communication so you can flash tunes
How to install (2018+ Ram Cummins)
- Turn the truck off — ignition OFF, keys out.
- Locate the bypass connector — in the driver’s footwell, find the large white multi-pin connector above the OEM OBD-II port. Do not unplug the factory OBD-II port itself.
- Prep the cable — most Nano Torque cables are plug-and-play. If yours requires CAN wire moves, follow the pinout that shipped with your cable.
- Plug in the bypass — seat the green SGW Bypass connector fully into the white SGW slot until the locking tab clicks. It only fits one way — don’t force it.
- Secure the harness — optional zip-tie so it doesn’t hang or rattle.
- Leave it installed — you can keep the bypass in place permanently. Then connect your tuning tool to the OBD-II port and flash as usual.
Quick troubleshooting
- Tool won’t connect → confirm the bypass is fully seated in the connector above OBD-II
- Still blocked → double-check you’re not only plugged into the OBD port, and that the locking tab is engaged
