Network traffic uses time on the bus, but a slow diagnostic response can also involve the tool, gateway or target module. One percentage does not settle the cause.
What to check next
Compare the same supported operation in a controlled vehicle state and record when the delay begins. Note concurrent diagnostic sessions or accessories without disconnecting them indiscriminately. Separate a repeatable communication delay from an operation that legitimately takes time.
Useful information for an enquiry
Keep the requested function, response timing, interface details and any timeout message.
Avoid adding a second active tester to speed up diagnosis. The test plan should limit its own impact on the network and preserve the original complaint.
