UDS stands for Unified Diagnostic Services and as the name contain “Diagnostic” and that means it’s a technique to identify/diagnose any kind of illness and here this illness(fault) belongs to Vehicle.
UDS is an standard diagnostics protocol by ISO which offers some unified( international and not a company-specific standard) services through which a UDS enabled diagnostic tool can perform off-board(When Vehicle in Garage) diagnosis for faulty ECU. In this short tutorial I have tried to explain these UDS services.
