SAE J1979-2 (APR2026)

E/E Diagnostic Test Modes: OBDonUDS

PUBLISH DATE 2026
SAE J1979-2 (APR2026)
SAE J1979-2 describes the communication between the vehicle’s OBD systems and test equipment required by OBD regulations. 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. When mapped on this model, the services specified are broken into: Diagnostic services (layer 7), specified in: ISO 14229-1 SAE J1979-2 OBDonUDS Presentation layer (layer 6), specified in: SAE J1930, SAE J1930DA SAE J1979DA SAE J2012, SAE J2012DA SAE J1939DA, SAE J1939-73 Session layer services (layer 5), specified in: ISO 14229-2 Transport layer services (layer 4), specified in: DoCAN: ISO 15765-2 Transport protocol and network layer services ISO 15765-4 Requirements for emissions related systems DoIP: ISO 13400-2 Road vehicles - Diagnostic communication over Internet Protocol (DoIP) - Part 2: Transport protocol and network layer services Network layer services (layer 3), specified in: DoCAN: ISO 15765-2 Transport protocol and network layer services ISO 15765-4 Requirements for emissions related systems DoIP: ISO 13400-2 Road vehicles - Diagnostic communication over Internet Protocol (DoIP) - Part 2: Transport protocol and network layer services Data link layer (layer 2), specified in: DoCAN: ISO 15765-4, ISO 11898-1, ISO 11898-2 DoIP: ISO 13400-3 Road vehicles - Diagnostic communication over Internet Protocol (DoIP) - Part 3: Wired vehicle interface based on IEEE 802.3 Physical layer (layer 1), specified in: DoCAN: ISO 15765-4, ISO 11898-1, ISO 11898-2, in accordance with Table 1 DoIP: ISO 13400-3 Road vehicles - Diagnostic communication over Internet Protocol (DoIP) - Part 3: Wired vehicle interface based on IEEE 802.3 NOTE: SAE J1979-2 provides a STANDARD to satisfy known country-specific OBD regulations. SAE J1979-2 is not considered a final authority for interpretation of the OBD regulations, so users of this document should determine the applicability of capabilities defined in this document for their specific OBD regulatory requirements.
