The automotive industry is undergoing profound change, driven in particular by innovative technologies and demanding trends such as electromobility, driver assistance systems and connected mobility. These developments require adjustments to vehicle architecture, OEM infrastructures and diagnostic processes. New software functions must be developed and implemented within a few months using standardized diagnostic processes. Complex diagnostic standards such as ISO 22900-3 (MVCI Server), ISO 14229 (UDS) and ISO 22900 (D-PDU API) help OEMs to act independently of software suppliers. Implementing these standardized software layers from scratch or even using libraries from a diagnostic software vendor in any development environment requires a high level of expertise. As one of the leading providers of software solutions for vehicle…

Join our webinar: Diagnostic Communication with Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) SAE J1979 and its “OBD Modes” served for the protection of our environment against harmful pollutants for decades, but due to regulatory adoption of Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS), SAE J1979 has now become a multiple part document series: SAE J1979 will be replaced by SAE J1979-2 for vehicles with combustion engines (ICEs) and by SAE J1979-3 for Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) propulsion systems. For ZEVs, emission-related failures will be replaced by ZEV propulsion-related failures. Both SAE J1979-2 and -3 are variants of ISO 14229 (UDS) but limited to emission-related and ZEV propulsion-related failures, respectively, and associated diagnostic data. These new…
