scope:

This part of ISO 15765 specifies a transport protocol and network layer services tailored to meet the requirements of CAN-based vehicle network systems on controller area networks as specified in ISO 11898. It has been defined in accordance with the diagnostic services established in ISO 14229-1 and ISO 15031-5, but is not limited to use with them and is also compatible with most other communication needs for in-vehicle networks. The protocol specifies an unconfirmed communication.

The diagnostic communication over controller area network (DoCAN) protocol supports the standardized service primitive interface as specified in ISO 14229-2.

This part of ISO 15765 provides the transport protocol and network layer services to support different application-layer implementations such as

- enhanced vehicle diagnostics (emissions-related system diagnostics beyond legislated functionality, nonemissions- related system diagnostics),

- emissions-related on-board diagnostics (OBD) as specified in ISO 15031, and

- world-wide harmonized on-board diagnostics (WWH-OBD) as specified in ISO 27145.
