You might try SAE AS5363 perhaps with SAE J2544 or SAE J1859 or SAE
J1744 or SAE J2907.  Typically before you have enough to really work
with you will find you have to buy about a dozen or more standards.
Start with 1 or 2 and find the rest from the referenced standards that
those are written against.
