ISO 15031-6:2015

Road vehicles — Communication between vehicle and external equipment for emissions-related diagnostics — Part 6: Diagnostic trouble code definitions

ISO 15031-6:2015 provides uniformity for standardized diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) that electrical/electronic On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems of motor vehicles are required to report when malfunctions are detected. It further provides guidance for uniform messages (text descriptor) associated with these codes. ISO 15031-6:2015 specifies the rules and guidelines for the definition of the following: a) the diagnostic trouble code format, which consists of addressing format, structure and messages; b) a description of the standardized set of diagnostic trouble codes and descriptions contained in SAE J2012-DA. The two most significant bytes of a DTC may be decoded according to two different lists in two formats: DTC Format Identifier 0016 and 0416; and c) a description of the standardized set of diagnostic trouble codes subtypes known as failure types contained in SAE J2012-DA (applies only when 3-byte DTCs are used). ISO 15031-6:2015 specifies all general rules and guidelines to define new diagnostic trouble codes. It references SAE J2012-DA (Digital Annex), which includes all standardized DTCs (number and text descriptor) as well as all diagnostic trouble codes subtypes known as failure types.

Introduction
Overview
ISO 15031 consists of a number of parts which, taken together, provide a coherent self-consistent set of
specifications to facilitate emissions-related diagnostics. ISO 15031-1 provides an introduction to the
series of International Standards. ISO 15031-2 through ISO 15031-7 are based on SAE recommended
practices. This part of ISO 15031 is based on SAE J2012 (Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions).
This International Standard includes the communication between the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) systems and test equipment implemented across vehicles within the scope of the legislated
emissions-related OBD.
To achieve this, it is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model in
accordance with ISO/IEC 7498 and ISO/IEC 10731, which structures communication systems into seven
layers. When mapped on this model, the services specified by this International Standard are broken
into the following layers in accordance with Table 1.

Diagnostic trouble code definitions
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15031 provides uniformity for standardized diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) that
electrical/electronic On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems of motor vehicles are required to report
when malfunctions are detected. It further provides guidance for uniform messages (text descriptor)
associated with these codes.
This part of ISO 15031 specifies the rules and guidelines for the definition of the following:
a) the diagnostic trouble code format, which consists of the following:
1) addressing format;
2) structure;
3) messages;
b) a description of the standardized set of diagnostic trouble codes and descriptions contained in
SAE J2012-DA. The two most significant bytes of a DTC may be decoded according to two different
lists in two formats: DTC Format Identifier 00 and 04 ;
16 16
c) a description of the standardized set of diagnostic trouble codes subtypes known as failure types
contained in SAE J2012-DA (applies only when 3-byte DTCs are used).
This part of ISO 15031 specifies all general rules and guidelines to define new diagnostic trouble codes.
This part of ISO 15031 references SAE J2012-DA (Digital Annex), which includes all standardized DTCs

The recommended DTCs consist of a three digit hexadecimal code preceded by an alphanumeric
designator. The alphanumeric designators are “B0”, “B1”, “B2”, “B3”, “C0”, “C1”, “C2”, “C3”, “P0”, “P1”,
“P2”, “P3”, “U0”, “U1”, “U2”, “U3”, corresponding to four sets of body, four sets of chassis, four sets of
powertrain, and four sets of network and vehicle integration trouble codes. The code structure itself
is partially open-ended. A portion of the available numeric sequences (portions of “B0”, “C0”, “P0”,
“P2”, “P3”, “U0”, and “U3”) is reserved for uniform codes assigned by this or future updates. Detailed
specifications of the DTC format structure are specified in Clause 7. Most circuit, component, or system
diagnostic trouble codes that do not support a subfault strategy are specified by the following four
basic categories:
— circuit/open;
— range/performance;
— circuit low;
— circuit high.
Circuit low is measured with the external circuit, component, or system connected. The signal type
(voltage, frequency, etc.) shall be included in the message after circuit low or circuit high.
Circuit high is measured with the external circuit, component, or system connected. The signal type
(voltage, frequency, etc.) may be included in the message after circuit low or circuit high.
6.2 Sensor location definition
6.2.1 General
This subclause defines the location of sensor(s) in relation to the engine air flow, starting from the
fresh air intake through to the vehicle tail pipe or fuel flow from the fuel tank to the engine in order
numbering 1, 2, 3, and so on.
NOTE 1 If there is only one bank, use bank #1 DTCs and the word bank may be omitted. With a single “bank”
system using multiple sensors, use bank #1.

7.1 Description
Figure 8 illustrates the diagnostic trouble code which consists of an alphanumeric designator, B0 – B3
for body, C0 – C3 for chassis, P0 – P3 for powertrain, and U0 – U3 for network communication, followed
by three characters. The assignment of the proper alpha designator should be determined by the area
most appropriate for that function. In most cases, the alpha designator will be implied since diagnostic
information will be requested from a particular controller. However, this does not imply that all codes
supported by a particular controller shall have the same alphanumeric designator.
