Abstract
A vehicle system includes a processing device programmed to monitor an operating state of a vehicle and the operation of at least one subsystem module. Depending on the operating state of the vehicle, the processing device can detect a subsystem module failure. If a failure is detected, the processing device can perform a remedial action. The remedial action taken may be based on the type of failure detected.
Claims20
A vehicle system comprising:
- a processing device programmed to monitor an operating state of a vehicle and operation of at least one subsystem module, wherein the processing device is further programmed to assign a priority to each subsystem module, detect a subsystem module failure, and perform a remedial action in response to detecting the subsystem module failure and in accordance with the operating state of the vehicle and the priority.

12-17. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- monitoring an operating state of a vehicle;
- monitoring operation of at least one subsystem module;
- detecting a subsystem module failure;
- and
- performing a remedial action in response to detect the subsystem module failure and in accordance with the operating state of the vehicle, wherein performing the remedial action includes performing, via a processing device, operations associated with the subsystem module associated with the subsystem module failure.

A vehicle system comprising:
- a processing device programmed to monitor an operating state of a vehicle and operation of at least one subsystem module, wherein the processing device is further programmed to detect a subsystem module failure and perform a remedial action in response to detecting the subsystem module failure and in accordance with the operating state of the vehicle,
- wherein the subsystem module failure includes a fault code output by the subsystem module associated with the subsystem module failure, and
- wherein the processing device is programmed to detect the fault code and intercept inter-vehicle messages transmitted to the subsystem module that output the fault code.
