This SAE Information Report describes the diagnostic data communications required for implementation of a set of diagnostic test modes for all electronic systems on the vehicle's serial data link. These test modes can be used by off-board test equipment for both service and assembly plant testing. The goal of this document is to provide standard methods to perform common functions for all electronic systems. This standard set of procedures will aid development, production, and field service of those systems. Use of the standard data communications in this specification will potentially result in the following benefits: This specification includes:

This SAE Standard is applicable to translations of automotive service information into any target language. The metric may be applied regardless of the source language or the method of translation (i.e., human translation, computer assisted translation or machine translation). Note that the current version of the metric does not measure errors in style, making it unsuitable for evaluations of material in which style is important (e.g., owner's manuals or marketing literature). The metric can be expanded to accommodate style and other requirements of particular new media.

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.

SAE J1979-3 describes the communication between the zero emissions propulsion systems and test equipment required by government regulations. Standardization regulations require passenger cars and light-, medium-, and heavy-duty trucks to support a minimum set of diagnostic information to external (off-board) “generic” test equipment. To achieve this, SAE J1979-3 is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Refer to Model in accordance with ISO/IEC 7498-1 and ISO/IEC 10731, which structures communication systems into seven layers.

SAE J2534-1 defines a standard vehicle network interface that can be used to reprogram emission-related control modules. However, there is a need to support vehicles prior to the 2004 model year, as well as non-emission related control modules. The SAE J2534-2 document meets these needs by detailing extensions to API version 04.04 of the SAE J2534-1 specification. It is not required for an interface to be fully compliant with API version 04.04 of the SAE J2534-1 specification to implement some of the features specified in this document. Together, these extensions provide the framework for a common interface to protect the software investment of the vehicle OEMs and scan tool manufacturers. Only the optional features will be described by this document and are based on the December 2004 publication of SAE J2534-1.

This SAE Recommended Practice: a Defines the functional requirements for a vehicle electrical/electronic diagnostic connector. These functional requirements are separated into two principal areas: connector location/access and connector design. b Establishes terminal assignments to conform to either of two categories: Standard or Manufacturer Discretionary. Rationale relative to intent is provided, where applicable, to minimize ambiguity.

This document supersedes SAE J1962 200204, and is technically equivalent to ISO/DIS 15031-3: December 14, 2001. This document is intended to satisfy the requirements of an OBD connector as required by U.S. On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) regulations. The diagnostic connection specified in this document consists of two mating connectors, the vehicle connector and the external test equipment connector. This document specifies: a The functional requirements for the vehicle connector. These functional requirements are separated into four principal areas: connector location/access, connector design, connector contact allocation, and electrical requirements for connector and related electrical circuits, b The functional requirements for the external test equipment connector. These functional requirements are separated into three principal areas: connector design, connector contact allocation, and electrical requirements for connector and related electrical circuits.

This Technical Information Report defines the proprietary diagnostic communication protocol for ABS or VSA ECU (Electronic Control Unit) implemented on some Honda vehicles. This protocol does not apply to all Honda vehicles. This document should be used in conjunction with SAE J2534-2 in order to fully implement the communication protocol in an enhanced SAE J2534 interface. The purpose of this document is to specify the requirements necessary to implement the communication protocol in an enhanced SAE J2534 interface.
