Abstract
A smart harness may comprise a connector configured to selectively plug into and be removable from an Electronic Control Unit ('ECU') of a vehicle, a first On-Board Diagnostics device ('first OBD device'), and a second On-Board Diagnostics device (“second OBD device”). The smart harness may further comprise at least one transceiver configured to receive and send diagnostic information between the ECU and the first OBD device and the second OBD device. The smart harness may further comprise a processor and a memory having a program communicatively connected to the processor. The processor may be configured to receive a request from at least one of the first and second OBD devices, prioritize the request based on a predefined priority associated with at least one of the first and second OBD devices, record at least a portion of the request as part of a distribution record, send the request to the ECU, receive a response from the ECU, compare the response with the distribution record, and send the response to at least one of the first and second OBD devices based on the distribution record.
