Full title and description

ISO 14229-1:2020/Amd 1:2022 — Road vehicles — Unified diagnostic services (UDS) — Part 1: Application layer — Amendment 1. This amendment updates and clarifies elements of the UDS application‑layer specification (ISO 14229-1:2020), providing errata, technical adjustments and additions defined by ISO/TC 22/SC 31 to support current diagnostic practice in road vehicles.

Abstract

This amendment supplements ISO 14229-1:2020, which specifies data‑link‑independent application‑layer diagnostic services that allow a diagnostic tester (client) to control diagnostic functions in on‑vehicle electronic control units (ECUs). The base standard defines generic UDS services (session control, data read/write, routines, security access, communication control, DTC management, timing and response requirements) used across transport protocols and physical buses. The amendment provides targeted changes to that application‑layer specification.

Scope

Specifies data‑link independent requirements for application‑layer diagnostic services (UDS) enabling a diagnostic tester to request and control diagnostic functions in vehicle ECUs (e.g., session management, service execution, read/write of diagnostic data, routine control, DTC management, security access and communication control). It applies where UDS is used over any transport or network layer (CAN/DoCAN, DoIP, FlexRay, K‑Line, etc.) and does not mandate transport‑layer or physical implementation details. The amendment modifies and clarifies selected application‑layer requirements in ISO 14229-1:2020.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and behaviour of core UDS services (diagnostic session control, ECU reset, security access, communication control, tester present, read/write data by identifier, read/clear DTCs, routine control, input/output control).
• Message format, positive/negative response handling, timing parameters and diagnostic response codes required at the application layer.
• Data‑link independence: service primitive interfaces between application, session and transport layers to enable UDS over multiple transports (CAN/ISO‑TP, DoIP, FlexRay, K‑Line, etc.).
• Security and access control mechanisms for protected services (challenge/response patterns, seed/key handling as specified by the standard).
• Clarifications, corrections and additions introduced by Amendment 1 to harmonize interpretation and implementation.

Typical use and users

Used by automotive OEMs, Tier‑1 suppliers, ECU software developers, diagnostic tool vendors, test houses and integrators. Typical applications include off‑board vehicle diagnostics, ECU flashing/firmware update workflows, manufacturing testing, in‑service maintenance and on‑vehicle diagnostic tool development. Implementers use the standard together with transport standards (e.g., ISO 15765‑2, ISO 13400) to build complete diagnostic solutions.

Related standards

Closely related documents and series include ISO 14229‑2 (Session layer services — latest edition 2021), ISO 14229‑3 (UDSonCAN / implementation on CAN, revised in recent years), ISO 15765‑2 (ISO‑TP transport for CAN), ISO 13400 (DoIP diagnostics over IP), ISO 14230 (KWP2000 family) and other vehicle diagnostic and OBD standards (ISO 15031, ISO 27145). Amendment 1 is intended to be used alongside ISO 14229‑1:2020 and the Part 2/Part 3 documents for full diagnostic stack implementations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 14229‑1:2020/Amd 1:2022 is Amendment 1 to Part 1 (Application layer) of the ISO 14229 Unified Diagnostic Services family; it updates and clarifies elements of the UDS application‑layer specification.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers application‑layer diagnostic service definitions, response formats, timing, error/negative responses, security/access rules and the service primitive interface to lower layers — independent of the underlying transport. The amendment makes targeted corrections and additions to the Part 1 text.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: OEMs, ECU suppliers, diagnostic tool vendors, software integrators and testing labs use it to implement and validate UDS‑based diagnostic functionality in production, service and test environments.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The amendment was published in October 2022 and applies to ISO 14229‑1:2020; at the time of publication ISO indicates the Part 1 package may be progressed toward an FDIS revision in follow‑on work, but ISO 14229‑1:2020 plus Amendment 1 (2022) remains the current published baseline for the application layer. Check your national body or ISO catalogue for any later consolidated editions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 14229 series (UDS). Other parts include ISO 14229‑2 (session layer services) and ISO 14229‑3 (UDSonCAN/implementation guidance), plus related transport standards like ISO 15765‑2 (ISO‑TP) and ISO 13400 (DoIP).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: UDS, Unified Diagnostic Services, application layer, diagnostic session, DID (Data Identifier), DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code), security access, transport independence, ISO 14229.
