TS ISO 15031-2
Road vehicles - Communication between vehicle and external equipment for emissions-related diagnostics - Part 2: Guidance on terms, definitions, abbreviations and acronyms
ISO 15031-2:2010 provides guidance on the usage of terms, definitions, abbreviations and acronyms used in emissions-related diagnostics, with respect to the communication between road vehicles and external equipment used in that field. It also specifies a procedure for constructing new terms. As it gives recommended usage of diagnostic terms applicable to electrical/electronic systems, it also makes reference to related mechanical terms, definitions, abbreviations and acronyms.
ISO 15031-2:2010 is applicable to all light-duty gasoline and diesel passenger vehicles and trucks, and to heavy-duty gasoline vehicles. Specific applications of this document include diagnostic, service and repair manuals, bulletins and updates, training manuals, repair databases, underhood emission labels and emission certification applications.
ISO 15031-2:2010 is intended to help industry provide standard terms, definitions, abbreviations and acronyms with a view to establishing a common terminology for diagnostic tools and publications.

About This Item
TS ISO 15031-2 is a guidance standard for the consistent use of terms, definitions, abbreviations and acronyms used in emissions-related diagnostics. In automotive diagnostics, the same concept can be described in different ways across tools, manuals and software; this document helps establish a common technical language for communication between the vehicle and external equipment.
Why terminology matters in emissions diagnostics
The standard addresses the language used for emissions-related diagnostic communication, with particular emphasis on diagnostic terms applicable to electrical and electronic systems, while also referencing related mechanical terminology. From a general technical perspective, that distinction matters because diagnostic expressions may refer to sensors, actuators, control units or mechanical components, and precision in naming reduces ambiguity across service workflows and publications.
It also specifies a procedure for constructing new terms. That is especially useful when manufacturers, training authors or database editors need to introduce new wording without fragmenting the shared vocabulary. Standardized terminology supports clearer repair manuals, bulletins, training material, repair databases, underhood emission labels and emission certification applications.
