On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Diagnostic Services Introduction
4.4.1 What is CAN?
CAN stands for Controller Area Network and means that control units are part of a network and
can interchange data. Although some car manufacturers have used CAN for some years for
communication between electronic control modules (ECMs), it was not directly connected to the
diagnostic connector. In approximately 2001/2002 for Europe and 2003 for North America, the first
car manufacturers started to connect the CAN communication lines to the diagnostic connector.
CAN will be the only required protocol in near future for OBD.
4.5 Diagnostic Services Introduction
The OBD program is divided into several sub programs, called ‘Service $xx’. This complies to the
EOBD/OBD-II standards:
4.5.1 Readiness Monitor Test Status
OBD-II/EOBD stipulates the monitoring (continuous or non-continuous) of the functions of the
following emission control related subsystems):
