Full title and description

Road vehicles — Unified diagnostic services (UDS) — Part 3: Unified diagnostic services on CAN implementation (UDSonCAN). This part of ISO 14229 defines an application profile and implementation requirements for using the UDS diagnostic services over Controller Area Network (CAN) in road vehicles, including CAN-specific restrictions and additional requirements needed for interoperable diagnostic communication.

Abstract

This document specifies an application profile for the implementation of Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) on Controller Area Network (CAN). UDSonCAN references ISO 14229-1 (application layer) and ISO 14229-2 (session layer) and provides CAN-specific adaptation rules, service applicability, timing and transport-layer interface requirements to ensure consistent diagnostic communication between testers (clients) and on‑vehicle ECUs (servers) over CAN.

Scope

ISO 14229-3:2022 defines how the generic UDS services (specified in ISO 14229-1) and session-layer behaviors (ISO 14229-2) are to be implemented specifically over CAN networks. It sets out CAN‑specific constraints and additional requirements (for example addressing, identifier usage, timing constraints and transport adaptation) so that diagnostic services operate predictably and interoperably on CAN-based vehicle architectures.

Key topics and requirements

• Application profile mapping of ISO 14229-1 UDS services to CAN (UDSonCAN) implementation rules.
• CAN-specific restrictions and mandatory behaviors for selected UDS services (examples include ResponseOnEvent and periodic data services).
• Adaptation and interface requirements between UDS session/application layers and the DoCAN transport/network layer (ISO 15765-2).
• Timing and flow-control requirements, including segmentation/flow-control rules for multi-frame messages over CAN.
• Guidance on use of CAN identifiers, including treatment of 11‑bit identifiers (OBD-related IDs) and addressing modes.
• Specification of service applicability, suppressPosRspMsgIndicationBit handling and other bit-level conventions relevant for CAN implementations.
• Interoperability requirements to ensure tool/ECU compatibility across vehicle manufacturers and diagnostic tools.

Typical use and users

Used by automotive OEMs, ECU and subsystem suppliers, diagnostic tool and test-equipment manufacturers, test labs and compliance bodies. Typical applications include ECU diagnostic implementation, diagnostic tester/tool development, conformance testing, workshop scan tool design and integration of diagnostics into vehicle software development.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 14229-3:2022 is Part 3 of the ISO 14229 series and defines the CAN-specific implementation profile for Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) so that UDS can be used consistently over Controller Area Network (CAN) in road vehicles.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers CAN-specific requirements, restrictions and adaptations for UDS services defined in ISO 14229-1 and session behaviors from ISO 14229-2, including transport interface mapping to DoCAN, identifier and addressing conventions, timing and multi-frame handling rules.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Automotive manufacturers (OEMs), ECU suppliers, diagnostic tool vendors, test laboratories, and engineers developing or testing vehicle diagnostic systems and workshop tools.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 14229-3:2022 is the second edition published on 8 March 2022; it supersedes the earlier ISO 14229-3:2012 edition. Users should confirm whether any national adoptions or later amendments apply in their region before relying on the text for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 14229 series (Unified Diagnostic Services). Other parts address the application layer, session services and UDS implementations on different vehicle networks (FlexRay, IP/DoIP, K-Line, LIN, CXPI, etc.).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: UDS, UDSonCAN, DoCAN, CAN, diagnostic services, ECU, transport protocol, ISO 14229, segmentation, flow control, ResponseOnEvent, periodic identifiers.
