Abstract
A system and method for efficiently determining a diagnostic protocol used by a vehicle under service and instantiating service appropriately. The diagnostic protocol is checked for expected electrical behaviors exhibited at the pins of a diagnostic port of a vehicle. If the expected behaviors are observed, a first protocol is designated for use. If the expected behaviors are not observed, other protocols are test for appropriate designation.
