ISO 15765-4:2016

ISO 15765-4:2016 specifies requirements for Controller Area Networks (CAN) where one or more controllers comply with on-board diagnostics (OBD) or world-wide harmonized on-board diagnostics (WWH‑OBD) regulations. The network presumes the use of an external test equipment for inspection and repair diagnostics, as defined by the regulations. The CAN network requirements for the vehicle and the external test equipment are based on the specifications of ISO 15765-2, ISO 11898-1 and ISO 11898-2.

ISO 15765-4:2016 places restrictions on those International Standards for the fulfilment of the regulations. It does not specify in-vehicle CAN bus architecture.
