Fix diagnostics status after startup without changing the customer ARXML

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 12, 2026.

The SWC starts cleanly while its diagnostics service remains unavailable on the target ECU.

The release needs the existing RTE contract preserved, while target startup must expose the SOME/IP service reliably.

Who you’d be doing this for

“I’ve restarted the ECU twice just to get the status back, and validation is waiting on me.”

Kartini Hashim · Vehicle Software Engineer

Integrates supplier-delivered SWCs into the OEM's diagnostics ECU and needs a trustworthy target build for validation.

What is at stake

The diagnostics status service is missing after target startup, despite the SWC passing in SIL. You must weigh a fast lifecycle configuration change against preserving the customer’s existing RTE contract.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • customer contract stability vs startup service availability
  • limited HIL time vs repeatable evidence
  • fast workaround vs production-like behavior

Why Applied Intuition

Vehicle OS integration depends on customer SWCs behaving consistently from generated AUTOSAR RTE contracts through target ECU validation.
