Abstract
A method may include receiving, at a vehicle system, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) associated with the vehicle system, determining whether communication has been lost between the vehicle system and one or more of the ECUs, and upon determination that communication been lost between the vehicle system and more than a first predetermined threshold number of the ECUs, transmitting an alert.

A method comprising:
- receiving, at a vehicle system, DTCs from a plurality of ECUs associated with the vehicle system;
- receiving, at the vehicle system, sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors;
- determining whether communication has been lost between the vehicle system and one or more of the ECUs;
- and
- upon determination that communication has been lost between the vehicle system and more than a first predetermined threshold number of the ECUs:
- determining a plurality of driving behaviors or vehicle settings based on the sensor data;
- determining a first driver profile based on the determined plurality of driving behaviors or vehicle settings;
- performing a comparison between the first driver profile and a second driver profile;
- determining whether the first driver profile matches the second driver profile based on the comparison;
- and
- upon determination that the first driver profile does not match the second driver profile, transmitting an alert.
