The current practice for programming electronic control modules using SAE Recommended Practice J1708 permits each vendor to provide a unique hardware and software interface for his products. A standardized communications interface for J1708 communications at OEM Assembly Plants is needed to eliminate the impacts of the unique interfaces. Draft SAE Recommend Practice J2214, Vehicle Electronic Programming Stations [VEPS] System Specification for Programming J1708-capable components at OEM Assembly Plants is proposed to address these concerns and improve upon the file-based interface documented in SAE Information Report J1924, OEM/Vendor Interface Specification for Vehicle Electronic Programming Stations. J2214 references the proposed SAE Recommended Practice J1683, MS-DOS™ Interface for J1708 Communications to define the standard interface.
