How to test if ETC is working?

[StGeorge]

Methods to test if ETC is working: First, remove the card and insert the chip-side of the card into the electronic tag. When you hear a "beep" sound and the electronic tag screen displays "Debit Card" or "Balance," it means the system is functioning normally. If the ETC card is inserted into the electronic tag but the screen shows messages like "Electronic Tag Invalid" or "No Card Inserted," it indicates an issue with the electronic tag, and you need to visit an ETC service center to reactivate and reinstall it. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is a system that allows for non-stop toll payments. ETC lanes are dedicated to vehicles equipped with ETC onboard units, using electronic payment methods without manual toll booths. The ETC system works through microwave-based short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This data is then processed via computer network technology for backend settlement with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to pay bridge or road fees.
