How to Determine if ETC Activation is Successful?

etc activation success indicators: Simply insert the ETC card into the ETC electronic tag. If the ETC card account balance is displayed, it indicates successful activation. When passing through the ETC lane, hearing a "beep" sound indicates successful deduction, the barrier will automatically rise, and it can be used normally. Here are some relevant introductions on how to determine if ETC is functioning properly: 1. For newly received ETC electronic tags (OBU devices), when pressing the anti-tamper switch on the back, the red light will briefly turn on, and the electronic tag screen will display messages such as "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is normal and does not affect activation. 2. For ETC devices that have been successfully activated, inserting the ETC card will display corresponding vehicle information or account balance, indicating the ETC device is functioning properly. 3. If the screen does not display anything after inserting the card, or the ETC light does not turn on and remains black while the ETC device is powered on, it may be due to the device being out of power or damaged. Although ETC electronic tags are powered by solar panels, they still have internal batteries for energy storage, with a lifespan of about 3 years. In this case, the device needs to be sent to an ETC service center or highway office for testing and reactivation to continue use. 4. For ETC electronic tags that are manually damaged or have fallen off, causing them to become invalid, no matter how you insert the card, it will not function normally, nor will it display the account balance. The solution is to send it to an ETC service center for secondary activation.
