TC8 Test Spec Example OABR_CABLE_01: Cable diagnostics for near and far end open
Test Setup for

Far Open Test
Test Goal
Ensure that the DUT’s
cable diagnostic reliably
detects an open of one or
both of the bus lines
Source: OPEN Alliance TC8 Automotive Ethernet ECU Test Specification v2.0
Test Steps
1. The DUT cable diagnostic feature is triggered. The DUT cable diagnostics has to be executed within terror
2. The test system creates a cable error for a defined time terror
3. After the wait time t the test system reads out all identified cable errors QC from the DUT
4. Repeat step 1 to 3 for all error combinations (alternately MDI+ and/or MDI- are open)
