This SAE Recommended Practice describes the implementation of Enhanced Diagnostic Test Modes, which are intended to supplement the legislated Diagnostic Test Modes defined in SAE J1979. Modes are defined for access to emission related test data beyond what is included in SAE J1979, and for non-emission related data. This document describes the data byte values for diagnostic messages transmitted between diagnostic test equipment, either on-vehicle or off-vehicle, and vehicle electronic control modules. No distinction is made between test modes for emission related and non-emission related diagnostics. These messages can be used with a diagnostic serial data link such as described in SAE J1850 or ISO 9141-2. For each test mode, this document includes a functional description of the test mode, request and report message data byte content, and an example if useful for clarification.

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.

To define a list of anomalies related to OBD Communications. Misinterpretations of various OBD Communications Standards and Recommended Practices have resulted in OBD “no-communications” situations in the field. This Information Report identifies the most prevalent of these.

The SAE J1962 diagnostic connector consists of two mating connectors, the vehicle connector (see Figure 1) and the test equipment connector (see Figure 2). This document: a Defines the functional requirements for the vehicle connector. These functional requirements are separated into three principal areas: connector location/access, connector design, and connector terminal assignments. b Defines the functional requirements for the test equipment connector. These functional requirements are separated into two principal areas: connector design and connector terminal assignments. The scope of this document does not include the needs of long-term retention, such as in-flight recorder type applications. To ensure long-term retention, additional steps outside of the scope of this document must be taken.
