Abstract
An on-board diagnostic (OBD) code variable generation system includes a data storage device that stores built-in test (BIT) program and one or more source code variable parameters defined by a source code variable format compatible with the BIT. A processor is in signal communication with the data storage device to receive one or more system variables utilized by an OBD system to indicate a system fault of a vehicle. The processor automatically adds the one or more source code variable parameters to the at least one system variable to generate a source code variable having the source code variable format and utilized by the BIT program to indicate the system fault is actually present in the vehicle.
Claims15
An on-board diagnostic (OBD) code variable generation system comprising:
- a data storage device configured to a store built-in test (BIT) program and one or more source code variable parameters defined by a source code variable format compatible with the BIT;
- a processor in signal communication with the data storage device, the processor configured to receive at least one system variable utilized by an OBD system to indicate a system fault of a vehicle,
- wherein the processor automatically adds the one or more source code variable parameters to the at least one system variable to generate a source code variable having the source code variable format and utilized by the BIT program to indicate the system fault is actually present in the vehicle.
A method of generating a an on-board diagnostic (OBD) code variable, the method comprising:
- storing, in a data storage device, a built-in test (BIT) program and one or more source code variable parameters defined by a source code variable format compatible with the BIT;
- inputting, to a processor, at least one system variable utilized by an OBD system to indicate a system fault of a vehicle;
- and
- automatically adding, by the processor, one or more source code variable parameters to the at least one system variable to generate a source code variable having the source code variable format and utilized by the BIT program to indicate the system fault is actually present in the vehicle.
