SpartanLync Tools (MyGeotab App Integration) - Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

What is the SpartanLync "ECU Device ID" Number?

The SpartanLync "ECU Device ID" Number is a 6-digit combination of letters and numbers printed on the outside cover of every SpartanLync ECU device, which is physically connected to a Geotab GO device within a vehicle.

Why is the "ECU Device ID" Number Important?

The ECU Device ID is communicated to Geotab every time the Vehicle Ignition occurs. Therefore seeing this ID in SpartanLync Tools indicates a working SpartanLync / Geotab Installation and connection.

This ECU Device ID will appear in the SpartanLync Tools App AFTER;

1. Ensuring the SpartanLync ECU device and the Geotab GO device are physical connected
2. Turning on the vehicle ignition and hearing a beep from the SpartanLync ECU device, indicating a successful power connection
3. Waiting up to a max of 5 minutes
4. Launching SpartanLync Tools App or refreshing the Vehicle list by clicking the Vehicle "Refresh" button.

Look for this ID within the SpartanLync Tools App, beside a Geotab Vehicle name "e.g. 2022 (0012AB)" in the Vehicle List
