Today’s road-vehicles (passenger cars, LDV, MDV and HD commercial vehicles), as well as non-road mobile machinery (NRMM), are equipped with E/E systems that consist of electronic control units, in-vehicle networks, sensors, actors, wiring, connectors, and some electrical and electrohydraulic components. Coping with the increasing complexity of these systems requires a new approach for external test equipment being deployed in the entire process chain: development with verification & validation for SOP, manufacturing/production, and after-sales service. Numerous papers are dealing with the technology of external test equipment, (remote) diagnostics, troubleshooting, guided fault finding, predictive maintenance and the standardized components, such as UDS, MVCI, ODX, and OTX. Diagnostic sequences are described in OTX and processed by an OTX runtime module. The OTX runtime module uses the MVCI D-Server API, and the D-Server processes diagnostic data which is described in ODX.
