Abstract(E)Currently the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) requirements enforced by government agencies do not cover electric vehicles. Although the California Air Resources Board (CARB) mandates all light and medium duty vehicles and heavy duty engine dynamometer certified engines equipped with fossil fuel-powered engines, including all hybrid vehicles, must follow the OBD requirements in California Code of Regulation (CCR) 1968.2 and 1971.1, Battery Electric vehicles (BEVs), are exempted from OBD requirements. The legislators, such as CARB, have started to make proposals for on-board systems to monitor electric propulsion system health. In addition, there may be customer needs to obtain standard vehicle service information and the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) may also have the desire for common diagnostic strategies across different vehicle applications to lower the development costs. This paper, different from other published technical papers or proposals from OEMs or government agencies, analyzes the feasibility and compatibility of the existing OBD system design requirements, and aligns them with the need of industrial-common OBD system architecture and existing/upcoming SAE standards to propose the monitoring and reporting requirements on the identified primary propulsion system components/systems from technical point of view. This study makes some key technical proposals/solutions for the possible use of OBD-like monitoring and reporting requirements for Electric Propulsion Systems, including, what are the monitoring requirements, what is to be monitored, what are the malfunction indicator light (MIL) illumination requirements, and what are the generic scan tool (GST) interface requirements that are based on J1979-2 (i.e., Unified Diagnostic Services -UDS) to facilitate the repair service by technicians, including from independent service shops.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
