This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform practice for protecting vehicle modules from "unauthorized" intrusion through a vehicle diagnostic data communication link. The security system represents a recommendation for motor vehicle manufacturers and provides flexibility for them to tailor their system to their specific needs. The vehicle modules addressed are those that are capable of having solid-state memory contents altered external to the electronic module through a diagnostic data communication link. Improper memory content alteration could potentially damage the electronics or other vehicle modules; risk the vehicle compliance to government legislated requirements; or risk the vehicle manufacturer's security interests. This document is intended to meet the "tampering protection" provisions of California Air Resources Board OBD II regulations and does not imply that other security measures are not required nor possible.

SAE J1979-2 describes the communication between the vehicle's OBD systems and test equipment required by OBD regulations. On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) 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 J1979-2 is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference 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 an SAE J2534-1 specification. It is not required for an interface to be fully compliant with 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.
