Modern vehicles are becoming more and more informatized and intelligent, and on-board diagnostic scanners used for vehicle maintenance are also constantly being upgraded and service agreements updated. Here, we will explain the DO IP protocol of Autel scanners.
Diagnostics over Internet Protocol (DoIP) opens up a new paradigm for ECU diagnostics that operates over Ethernet, a faster and more reliable communication channel.
The DoIP protocol is a network protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol that allows vehicle diagnostic data to be transmitted over the network. The DoIP protocol encapsulates diagnostic data in TCP/IP packets and uses the UDP protocol for transmission. It also defines a set of standard diagnostic services, such as reading fault codes, clearing fault codes, reading real-time data, etc.
The CAN FD protocol for on-board diagnostic scanners is a high-speed, flexible data transmission protocol that can provide higher data transmission rates and larger data loads than traditional CAN protocols.
In onboard diagnostic scanners, the CAN FD protocol is typically used to communicate with the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). The scanner sends commands and request data to the ECU through the CAN FD protocol to diagnose vehicle faults and problems. The ECU will respond to the scanner's request and return relevant data to the scanner for further analysis and diagnosis.
The CAN protocol (including CAN FD) is one of the most common automotive network protocols, and almost all modern cars use the CAN bus as their internal communication network. The CAN protocol can be used for communication between the diagnostic scanner and the vehicle's ECU.
These protocols are commonly used in modern vehicles, whether they are passenger cars, commercial vehicles or other types of vehicles. Many electronic control units (ECUs) are used in modern cars to manage and control various systems of the vehicle, such as engine control units, braking system control units, air conditioning system control units, etc.
In the field of automotive diagnosis, DoIP/Can FD Protocol is mainly used to communicate with the vehicle's ECU for fault diagnosis, performance analysis, programming and configuration.
Among the latest Autel scanners in 2023, such as MP900 series, MK900 series, and MX900 series, all have been updated to add DoIP/Can FD Protocol. This shows that the electronic systems of modern automobile vehicles are more sophisticated, and vehicle scanners should also be updated simultaneously to provide higher Flexibility and scalability to handle vehicle issues.

In a recent high-profile case, Nissan has recalled over 440,000 vehicles due to a potential engine bearing defect that could lead to engine failure and increase the risk of a crash.
In this article, we’ll explain what engine bearings are, why they’re important, common causes of bearing failure, how to identify early warning signs, and whether diagnostic tools like OBD2 scanners can help.
Every car diagnostic process should begin with a VIN check, because the VIN lays the foundation for what your Autel OBD II scanner will detect.But here’s what it doesn’t tell you:Your car’s current condition. That’s where a car diagnostic tool like the Autel MD906Pro comes in.
How does the new Autel MD909 Pro stack up against other scanners in the MaxiDiag series? What upgrades does it bring, what are its standout features, and how does it compare to larger tablet-style diagnostic tools? And of course—how much does it cost? Let’s break it all down.
