E/E Diagnostic Test Modes: Zero Emission Vehicle Propulsion Systems on UDS (ZEVonUDS) J1979-3_202310

This document is intended to satisfy the data reporting requirements of standardization regulations in the United States and Europe, and any other market that may adopt similar requirements in the future. This document specifies:

This document includes capabilities required to satisfy OBD requirements for multiple regions, model years, engine types, and vehicle types. At the time of publication many regional regulations are not yet final and are expected to change in the future. This document makes no attempt to interpret the regulations and does not include applicability of the included diagnostic services and data parameters for various vehicle applications. The user of this document is responsible to verify the applicability of each section of this document for a specific vehicle, engine, model year, and region.

SAE J1979-3 specifies diagnostic services, and both functionally addressed and physically addressed request/response messages required to be supported by motor vehicles and external test equipment for diagnostic purposes which pertain to motor vehicle emission-related data. Any external test equipment meeting the requirements of SAE J1978 is intended to be able to use these messages to retrieve ZEV propulsion-related information from the vehicle.

The structure of this document is based on the structure of SAE J1979 for the convenience of users familiar with SAE J1979. Each section of this part of SAE J1979-3 which specifies additional detail to existing sections of ISO 15765-4 and SAE J1979 supersedes those specifications for their use under the scope of SAE J1979-2. When applicable, a reference to respective sections in SAE J1979-2 is made in this document.

SAE J1979-3 references SAE J1979DA, which includes all Data Identifiers and Routine Identifiers.
