What to Do with ETC After Changing License Plates?
1 Answers
After changing license plates without changing the vehicle, the ETC will become unusable. You can take it to an ETC service center or an ETC processing point to cancel the ETC. Once the cancellation is successful, reactivate the ETC device and input the new information, then bind the ETC card to the new license plate for continued use. ETC Installation Method: Sensor Installation. ETC devices are uniformly installed on the inside of the car's front windshield, near the rearview mirror. They come with plastic suction cups to attach to the windshield. Choose an installation position that does not obstruct the driver's front view. Sensor Wiring Installation. Plug the sensor's wiring connector into the sensor's port. The wiring is connected through the car's internal network, branching out from the vehicle's intelligent information system. The wiring can be tucked under the headliner inside the car without removing interior panels—simply press it into place to neatly conceal the wires. Inserting the Card into the ETC Sensor. Gently insert the side of the card with the chip into the ETC sensor's card slot. The Sensor Detects the Chip and Reads the ETC Card. If the card is inserted correctly, the sensor's display will light up after detecting the ETC card, showing the message "Start Billing," indicating a successful connection between the sensor and the card. How ETC Works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, specialized short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. This utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while automatically deducting the toll fees.
