What are the reasons for ETC not working?
1 Answers
Reasons for ETC not working: Insufficient battery power in the ETC device prevents it from starting. The ETC electronic tag has become invalid. When passing through the ETC lane, the vehicle's speed is too high for the system to read the information. ETC lane reading failure or insufficient balance on the ETC card can cause unsuccessful fee deduction. Malfunction of the OBU device. After the OBU is installed and activated on the vehicle's windshield, if it is accidentally detached, the OBU will be locked. Reinserting the ETC card will prompt "invalid tag". It is recommended to reactivate it. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic fee deduction for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. If the speed is too high, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to fee deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, simply reactivate it. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can also cause fee deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, paying with cash or card. Thick car windshields can cause poor signal reception. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.
