![]() ![]() It is also possible to check how actuators (injectors, brakes, mirror motors, lights, horns, etc) perform using diagnostics. Actuator testing – We have learned that reading any sensor data is possible using diagnostics. ![]() Such variant coding is possible using diagnostics. That’s where variant coding comes into picture using which the engineer can easily enable/disable features of a vehicle depending on its variant. Changing the software on the ECU to turn the features ON/OFF is not effective and involves huge efforts. Variant Coding – Many different variants of any vehicle are generally released with different features.Such data can be read out using diagnostics. The surrounding information (like engine speed, vehicle speed, temperature, pressure, etc) when a fault occurs is stored in ECU memory called Freeze Frame. For analysis of the fault, it will be helpful for the engineer if there was more information about the occurrence of the fault than just the fault code. Read Freeze Frame Data – When a fault occurs in a vehicle, a fault code is registered.Clear DTC Information – After physically fixing the troubles/faults in the vehicle, the faults codes can be deleted from the memory of ECUs.The errors and faults recorded by the ECUs a vehicle can be read out just by a click saving us the time and effort in finding out the problem. Read trouble codes – The major application of vehicle diagnostics is reading trouble codes (widely called as DTCs).So, we can easily say that calibration is possible using vehicle diagnostics to a limited extent. And of course, what data can be written is controlled by limiting access. Write data – yes, diagnostics is powerful enough and allows writing data into the ECU.So, for different testing purposes, different ODX files can be authored limiting or allowing data depending on the requirements. A diagnostic dataset (in the form of ODX files) can be authored and access to data can be specified in the ODX file. In such cases, Diagnostics comes to the rescue. A2L files are confidential and providing them to different teams is a risky affair. The A2L file that provides full access to ECU data is many times not available with teams performing EoL/quality/service testing. Read data – data like engine speed, vehicle speed, temperatures, pressures, and several other vehicle parameters can be read and hence diagnostics can be used in different stages of testing like End of Line (EoL) Testing, Quality testing, Indoor testing, Outdoor testing, Performance testing, Service Testing and more. ![]()
