[Ovmsdev] Getting up-to-speed on Ioniq 5 - Newb help on obdii commands

[Michael Balzer]

Michael,

the obdii command's broadcast feature isn't capable of processing 
multiple responses, maybe that's what happens. It's more meant as a ping 
to see if there are some SAE conforming devices on the bus.

Don't expect to detect specialized devices by a broadcast, only some 
devices acting in the standard SAE/OBDII ID range (7E0-7E7) will listen 
to the broadcast ID. To find ISO-TP devices not conforming to the SAE ID 
range, you need to loop over the probable TX ID range, e.g. 500-7FF 
(make sure there are no process data frames present in that range 
first). Looping over an ID range is currently best done using a script, 
the re scan tool lacks this option.

Most EV do not implement standard SAE OBDII PIDs, so querying the VIN by 
0902 normally doesn't work (see other vehicle modules for some 
examples). Most EV don't even comply to the OBDII standard of giving you 
bitsets of supported PIDs.

But as you see a response, try sending the request to the device the 
response corresponds to (i.e. response ID - 8). The VIN should normally 
be on device 7E0 7E8. It's also totally normal the devices only respond 
while the car is on, awake or charging. Finding out how to wake up a car 
from OBD is one of the hard parts.

Finally, if the vehicle currently loaded doesn't implement a full 
shutdown (happens when switching to another vehicle like NONE), you may 
end up with partially initialized CAN interfaces or other strange 
issues. To make sure the vehicle module doesn't interfere with your 
scans, boot into vehicle NONE.

Regards,
Michael
