Access Timing Parameters
Tune the clocks. 0x83 reads or sets the diagnostic timers — P2 (normal response deadline), P2* (extended deadline after a pending response), and S3 (session inactivity timeout). Use it to give slow operations room before a timeout.

Timing record (read response / set request)
Values are raw 16-bit milliseconds, big-endian. e.g. P2*=5000ms → 13 88.

Overview
“The AccessTimingParameter service lets the client read and dynamically adjust the timing parameters that govern ECU response and session-timeout behaviour.”
P2
Normal response deadline. Default 50 ms here.
P2*
Extended deadline after NRC 0x78. Default 5000 ms.
S3
Session inactivity timeout. Default 60000 ms.
This simulator’s sub-function map: 0x01 read-extended (defaults), 0x02 set given values, 0x03 read-active. Note ISO numbers the set function 0x04 — here it is 0x02, and 0x04 returns NRC 0x12.
Timing Access in Action
Step through the read → set → read workflow, plus the two ways a request gets rejected (out-of-range value, unsupported sub-function).
Timing Access Runner
Step through reading, setting, and the two ways a request gets rejected.
Read the active timing, set a longer P2*, then read again to confirm it changed.
Press Play or Step to begin the sequence.
Build a Request
Pick a sub-function and (for a set) the P2 / P2* / S3 values. The builder assembles the request and shows the exact response — applying a set updates what read-active reports.
Timing Parameter Builder
Pick a sub-function and (for a set) the timing values. See the assembled request and the simulator’s response — values are raw milliseconds.
Currently active
- P2
- 50 ms (0x32)
- P2*
- 5000 ms (0x1388)
- S3
- 60000 ms (0xEA60)
Switch to 0x02 Set to change these, then come back to read-active.
Assembled request
Returns the values in effect now: P2=50, P2*=5000, S3=60000 ms.
ECU response
Message Format
Inspect a set request, a read response, and a negative response.
Message Frame Breakdown
Timing values are raw milliseconds, big-endian. Pick a frame, then focus a byte.
AccessTimingParameter service identifier.
Encoding: in this service the timing values are raw 16-bit milliseconds, big-endian — e.g. P2*=5000 ms is 13 88. (This differs from the 0x10 session response, which encodes P2* in 10 ms units.)
Service Dependencies
Service Dependencies
0x83 tunes the timers other services rely on. Select a node.
Entering a session sets the baseline P2/P2*/S3. (On a real ECU a session switch also resets any 0x83 change.)
Value Ranges (this simulator)
Parameter | Valid range (raw ms) | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2 | 1 – 5000 | 50 | Normal response deadline |
| P2* | ≥ P2, and 50 – 65535 | 5000 | Must not be smaller than P2 |
| S3 | 1000 – 300000 | 60000 | Optional in the set record (omit → 5-byte record) |
A value outside its range returns NRC 0x31. The most common slip is P2* < P2.
Negative Response Codes
NRC Decoder — SID 0x83
This simulator emits only 0x12, 0x13, and 0x31 — no session/security NRCs. The greyed codes correct common misconceptions.
Order: missing sub-function → 0x13; sub-function ≠ 0x01/0x02/0x03 → 0x12; bad length → 0x13; timing out of range → 0x31.

ISO 14229-1 References
Standard: ISO 14229-1:2020 — AccessTimingParameter sits in the Communication-management functional unit (§9), alongside DiagnosticSessionControl (0x10) and TesterPresent (0x3E).
Key points
- Sub-functions here: 0x01 read-extended, 0x02 set (given values), 0x03 read-active
- Positive response SID is 0xC3; reads carry a record (id 0x01 + P2 + P2* + S3)
- Timing values are raw 16-bit milliseconds, big-endian
- This simulator emits only NRC 0x12 (bad sub-function), 0x13 (bad length), 0x31 (value out of range) — no session/security NRCs
- Note: ISO assigns 0x02 = set-to-defaults and 0x04 = set-to-given; this simulator uses 0x02 for set-to-given
