Diagnostic application operation validating method for logic controller of computing system in motor vehicle, involves connecting diagnostic tool to simulator, and executing diagnostic application for validation of application on simulator

摘要

The method involves loading a diagnostic application (9) in a diagnostic tool (4). The diagnostic tool is connected to a simulator (6) of logic controllers through a control area network (CAN). The diagnostic application is executed for validation of the diagnostic application on the simulator, where the simulator is provided with simulation units for simulating operation of the controllers connected by information transmission networks and for communicating the controllers according to communication protocols. The communication protocols are selected among keyword protocols, diagnostics on control area network (CAN)type protocols, European on-board diagnostics (EOBD) type protocols or unified diagnostic service protocols. An independent claim is also included for a device for validation of an operation of a diagnostic application comprising a diagnostic program of a logic controller of a motor vehicle.
