Diagnostic description integration: Integrate .cdd and .mdx diagnostic description files into the platform software configuration workflow. Check that service definitions, identifiers, data formats, and access conditions match the implemented software.
Diagnostic service implementation: Develop and configure diagnostic services, including Data Identifiers (DIDs), DTC reporting and clearing, RoutineControl, diagnostic sessions, and SecurityAccess (0x27). Implement service handlers, access checks, response timing, and negative-response handling.
Fault detection and DTC management: Define and implement fault-monitoring logic, detection thresholds, debounce criteria, enable conditions, and recovery behavior. Configure DTC mappings and associated diagnostic data according to feature requirements.
Middleware and application integration: Connect diagnostic platform middleware to application components through defined interfaces and callbacks. Integrate DID data access, routine execution, fault reporting, and application-specific service handling.
Diagnostic security integration: Work with platform security engineers to implement SecurityAccess (0x27), including the required security-level checks and seed/key interface. Validate authorized access, rejected requests, and unsuccessful access attempts against the platform requirements.
Validation and debugging: Develop and execute tests for diagnostic services, fault detection, DTC behavior, application interfaces, and failure responses. Verify behavior across supported sessions, security levels, operating conditions, and power cycles.
Production and service support: Resolve diagnostic issues identified during integration, vehicle testing, manufacturing, and service preparation. Support consistent diagnostic behavior across software releases.
Documentation and traceability: Maintain diagnostic requirements, service specifications, DTC definitions, interface documentation, and verification results. Track requirements and defects through implementation and closure.
