Technical frame

Diagnostics over IP (DoIP): DoIP transports vehicle diagnostics over IP using the ISO 13400 family; UDS can be the diagnostic application while Ethernet/IP is the transport path. The page also includes a worked example and measurement sequence.

The technical values here expose the standard, protocol or physical relationship directly; model-specific service values are linked through the matching model/variant dossier.

The goal is not only to define the term but to let the reader calculate and interpret what the data means in a scan, scope or physical test.

Concrete technical facts

  • DoIP transports vehicle diagnostics over IP using the ISO 13400 family; UDS can be the diagnostic application while Ethernet/IP is the transport path.
  • TCP/UDP port 13400 is the standardized DoIP port commonly used for discovery/vehicle announcement and diagnostic connections.
  • 100BASE-T1 provides 100 Mbit/s and 1000BASE-T1 provides 1 Gbit/s class automotive Ethernet over a single twisted pair.
  • IP addressing, routing activation and ECU logical-address faults are a different layer from UDS service errors.
  • An Ethernet link being up does not mean a diagnostic session is established; DoIP routing activation must also succeed.
  • Packet loss, VLAN/routing, gateway behavior and tester latency can present as apparent UDS timeouts.

Worked example

  • Layering example: if the Ethernet link works but routing activation is rejected, diagnose the DoIP session/gateway layer instead of starting with the physical link.

Measurement and verification sequence

  • Verify link state and IP addressing.
  • Capture UDP vehicle discovery/announcement traffic.
  • Check TCP 13400 connection and routing-activation response.
  • Only then evaluate UDS request/response and P2/P2* timing.

Fault-separation logic

  • Is a valid command present and are power/ground/network healthy?
  • Does feedback follow the command?
  • Does an independent physical measurement confirm the output?
  • Is the fault limited to a specific temperature/load/speed condition?
  • Does the result remain stable when the original condition is repeated after repair?
