Why is the ETC light not on?

If the ETC light is not on or the screen is black, it may be due to the ETC card being inserted incorrectly, the battery being dead, or device damage. You can take the ETC device to an ETC customer service center for inspection. More details are as follows: 1. ETC is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges: It uses dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, along with computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. 2. Fully automatic electronic toll collection system: It is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system, especially suitable for use on highways or busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, there are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations. Vehicle owners only need to install a sensor card on the windshield and prepay the toll. When passing through the toll station, no manual payment or stopping is required, as the highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection. This system takes less than two seconds per vehicle, and its toll lane capacity is 5 to 10 times that of manual toll lanes. Using a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can make highway toll collection paperless and cashless, fundamentally eliminating toll revenue leakage and addressing financial management issues in highway toll collection. Additionally, implementing a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can save on infrastructure and management costs.
