Road vehicles. Modular vehicle communication interface (MVCI). Diagnostic protocol data unit (D-PDU API) | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This document specifies the diagnostic protocol data unit application programming interface (D-PDUAPI) as a modular vehicle communication interface (MVCI) protocol module software interface and common basis for diagnostic and reprogramming software applications. This document covers the descriptions of the application programming interface (API) functions and the abstraction of diagnostic protocols, as well as the handling and description of MVCI protocol module features. Sample MVCI module description files accompany this document. The purpose of this document is to ensure that diagnostic and reprogramming applications from any vehicle or tool manufacturer can operate on a common software interface and can easily exchange MVCI protocol module implementations.
