Description
Course DescriptionModern vehicles are increasingly dependent on electronic control units (ECUs) to manage essential functions like engine control, braking, infotainment, and more. As vehicle complexity grows, so does the need for reliable diagnostic systems to monitor, maintain, and update these ECUs. One of the most widely used diagnostic protocols in the automotive industry today is UDS - Unified Diagnostic Services, defined under ISO 14229.This course is designed to give you a comprehensive introduction to UDS - its purpose, architecture, and real-world usage in automotive embedded systems. Whether you're a student, a fresher, or an experienced engineer looking to transition into automotive diagnostics, this course will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to understand UDS communication effectively.You'll start by exploring the fundamentals of UDS - why it is used, how it fits into the vehicle communication system, and what makes it essential for modern automotive development. Then, you'll dive into Service IDs (SIDs), which are the core operations supported by UDS, such as
iagnostic Session Control (0x10)ECU Reset (0x11)Read Data by Identifier (0x22)Write Data by Identifier (0x2E)Security Access (0x27)Routine Control (0x31)Each of these services will be explained with clear examples and message structures, helping you understand how a tester (diagnostic tool) and an ECU interact.The course also introduces you to important concepts such as
iagnostic session types (default, extended, programming)Positive and Negative ResponsesNegative Response Codes (NRCs) and how to interpret themFunctional vs. physical addressingSecurity mechanisms in UDS (seed-key process)In addition, you'll gain an overview of the underlying communication protocol - ISO-TP (ISO 15765-2) - which enables UDS messages to be sent over the CAN network. You'll learn how multi-frame communication works and how UDS handles larger data packets.To bridge theory with practice, we also introduce the role of tools like CANoe, CANalyzer, and UDS simulators, which are commonly used in professional environments to send and analyze UDS messages.By the end of the course, you'll be able to:Understand and explain UDS protocol structure and servicesRead and interpret UDS request/response messagesApply UDS concepts in automotive development or testing projectsWhether you're aiming for a role in ECU diagnostics, embedded development, or vehicle testing, this course equips you with essential skills to thrive in the automotive software domain.
