The document discusses how on-board diagnostics functions are integrated into AUTOSAR basic software and which use cases they support. It provides background on on-board diagnostics requirements and categories. It then describes how functions for component monitoring are defined in AUTOSAR and implemented in modules like DCM, DEM, and FIM.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS MEETS AUTOSAR As powertrains become more electric, the number of on-board diagnostics relevant Electronic Control Units (ECUs) continues to AUTHORS
grow. Vector provides a summary of the on-board diagnostics
functions integrated in the AUTOSAR basic software (BSW) and which use cases they support.
