Vehicle Diagnostic Scanning

• Incorporates all formats of scan documents in related CIECA messages

Scope & Objectives

The SCAN Committee will focus on the potential and process of:

• Determine the benefits to all industry segments

• Provide industry definitions (including questions and answers) and process flows

• Develop a standard format for data communications

• Establishing relationships to existing data elements

• Developing a business workflow and providing industry definitions for all entities involved in this process

• Developing new message types, code lists and/or fields (as needed) to facilitate SCAN messages

• Establishing SCAN Implementation Guide(s) & and Appendix C Documents

• Facilitating industry practices for using scans to ensure quality and safety and protection from liability

• Develop industry processes while recognizing

  • The scan process itself is self-policing

  • That once a scan is ordered there is not always a follow up to see if a pre-scan or interim scans are taken

  • The scans can be requested at all times

  • The scans are to ensure repairs are addressed correctly as specified by the OEMs

  • The need to include calibration specifications & requirements from OEMs and corresponding measurements in the scan messages

  • The final scan that ensures the repair was completed correctly is most commonly requested and clarification on what was done is sometimes required

• Assist to the degree possible, aid Insurance Companies, Repair Facilities, and all parties looking for clarification as to the need for scans for an accident, as well as when multiple scans are needed. This includes when and who to charge for the scans.

• Develop the standards and processes for when scans will be stored and where to store the scans. At a minimum, scans will be stored with the repair order.

• To clearly define a scan definition, and communicate it is a collection of diagnostics acquired from the vehicle by a scanning device, which may be the vehicle itself
