This SAE Recommended Practice recommends test methods, test procedures, and specific test parameters to help verify that vehicles and test tools can communicate using the SAE J1850. This document only verifies the portion of SAE J1850 that is used for OBD-II communications. The term “test tool” is synonymous with OBD-II Scan tool.

This SAE Recommended Practice recommends test methods, test procedures, and specific test parameters to help verify that vehicles and test tools can communicate using SAE J1962. These test procedures are to be used whenever SAE J1850 communication parameters need to be verified. However, all specific details for testing are not specified, e.g., sample size, environment, vibration, etc.
