| Resumen: | SAE J1978-1 specifies a complementary set of functions to be provided by an OBD-II scan tool. These functions provide complete, efficient, and safe access to all regulated OBD (on-board diagnostic) services on any vehicle which complies to SAE J1979.
The content of this document is intended to satisfy the requirements of an OBD-II scan tool as required by current U.S. OBD regulations.
This document specifies:
A means of establishing communications between an OBD-equipped vehicle and an OBD-II scan tool.
A set of diagnostic services to be provided by an OBD-II scan tool in order to exercise the services defined in SAE J1979. In addition, SAE J1978-1 covers first generation protocol functionality defined in SAE J1979 plus automatic protocol determination for all SAE J1979/J1979-2/J1979-3 application content.
The presentation of the SAE J1978 document family, where SAE J1978-1 covers first generation protocol functionality defined in SAE J1979 and protocol determination for SAE J1979, SAE J1979-2, and SAE J1979-3, and SAE J1978-2 covers second generation protocol functionality defined in SAE J1979-2.
The SAE J1978 document family does not preclude the inclusion of additional capabilities or functions in an OBD-II scan tool. However, it is the responsibility of the OBD-II scan tool designer to ensure that no such capability or function can adversely affect either an OBD-equipped vehicle, which may be connected to the OBD-II scan tool, or to the OBD-II scan tool itself. |
