Why is my iPass flaking out? Does it need a new battery? And how can I pay any outstanding fines?

Accepted answer

Illinois Tollway explains it all:

How can I tell if my I-PASS transponder is working? When driving through a ramp or mainline toll plaza, I-PASS users can look for the yellow and blue lights at the end of the lane on the left side. This light indicates the account status.

A blue light = successful I-PASS transaction

A blue and a yellow light = successful transaction, low balance - update your account

A yellow light = unsuccessful transaction, no balance - contact the Illinois Tollway

To update your account:

Review online or Call 800-UC-IPASS (800-824-7277) You also should review your account regularly, online, in person or by phone to update information.

Another way to make sure there are funds in your account is to go through a manual or automatic lane and see if the gate goes up automatically.

How do I know if my transponder is working?
Drive through a toll plaza cash lane and the toll collector can verify whether or not your transponder is working. You should also check your account regularly, online or by phone to review toll transactions.

What if my transponder is not working?
You will need to exchange your transponder for a new unit. This exchange can be done in person or by mail. Please refer to the Customer Service section for locations and hours.
