OBD2 Diagnostic Device Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Lightweight Version
OBD2 Diagnostic Device Specification Example for Trailer Axles: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for obd2 diagnostic device in a lightweight version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on trailer axles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.

Example specification
| Item | OBD2 Diagnostic Device |
|---|---|
| Application | Trailer Axles |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | Carbon Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- assembly line testing
- electroplating
- shot blasting
- sintering
- rubber vulcanisation
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for trailer axles. Related applications include camper conversions, long-haul trucks, construction equipment, utility trailers, racing teams.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
