OBD Communications Compliance Test Cases for Heavy-Duty Components and Vehicles
J1939/84_202306
The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to verify that vehicles and/or components are capable of communicating a required set of information, which is described by the diagnostic messages specified in SAE J1939-73, that is in accordance with off-board diagnostic tool interface requirements contained in the government regulations cited below.
This document describes the tests, methods, and results for verifying diagnostic communications from an off-board diagnostic tool (i.e., scan tool) to a vehicle and/or component. SAE members have generated this document to serve as a guide for testing vehicles for compliance with ARB and other requirements for emissions-related on-board diagnostic (OBD) functions for heavy-duty engines used in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
The development of HD OBD regulations by U.S. EPA and California’s Air Resources Board (ARB) require that diagnostic message services are exercised to evaluate diagnostic communication standardization requirements on production vehicles. The user should reference the summary provided by SAE J1939-73 Tables 1 and 2 for OBD compliance support, and the discussion in SAE J1939-73 Appendix H for additional implementation concepts.
Rationale:
This version of SAE J1939-84 adds support for SI engines in the text and Appendix A. Appendix A tables are renumbered sequentially. Parameters specific to SI engines have been added to Table A2, and implausible value criteria have been improved. Table A2 has also been improved for non-OBD modules that support battery voltage, fuel level, and Component ID. Table A14 has been updated to show the two-byte slots added since the last publication.
