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.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines diagnostic test modes, and request and response messages, necessary to be supported by vehicle manufacturers and test tools to meet the requirements of the California OBD II and Federal OBD regulations, which pertain to vehicle emission-related data only. These messages are intended to be used by any service tool capable of performing the mandated diagnostics. In addition, capabilities are defined that are intended to meet other Federal and State regulations pertaining to related issues such as Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) and service information availability. This document is not considered a final authority for interpretation of the regulations, so the reader should determine the applicability of the capabilities defined in this document for their specific need.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to all light-duty gasoline and diesel passenger vehicles and trucks, and to heavy-duty gasoline vehicles. Specific applications of this document include diagnostic, service and repair manuals, bulletins and updates, training manuals, repair databases, under-hood emission labels, and emission certification applications. This document focuses on diagnostic terms applicable to electrical/electronic systems, and therefore also contains related mechanical terms, definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms. Even though the use and appropriate updating of this document is strongly encouraged, nothing in this document should be construed as prohibiting the introduction of a term, abbreviation, or acronym not covered by this document. Certain terms have already been in common use and are readily understood by manufacturers and technicians, but do not follow the methodology of this document.
