Abstract
A method of diagnosing an electric vehicle incorporating an electric component, comprises detecting a physical load applied to a vehicle body, which is other than an electric characteristic of the electric component; and changing a diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the electric characteristic of the electric component such that the diagnostic operation is performed based on the detected physical load applied to the vehicle body.
Claims15
A method of diagnosing an electric vehicle incorporating an electric component, the method comprising:
- detecting a physical load applied to a vehicle body of the electric vehicle, which is other than an electric characteristic of the electric component;
- storing a history of a magnitude of detected physical load applied to the vehicle body;
- and
- performing a diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the electric characteristic of the electric component concurrently with performing the diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the history of the magnitude of the physical load applied to the vehicle body,
- the history being stored before the diagnostic operation for the electric component is performed.
A diagnostic system in a vehicle incorporating an electric component, comprising:
- a detecting section which detects a physical load applied to a vehicle body of the vehicle, which is other than an electric characteristic of the electric component;
- and
- a control section which performs a diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the electric characteristic of the electric component concurrently with performing the diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the history of the magnitude of the physical load applied to the vehicle body.
A diagnostic system in a vehicle incorporating an electric component,
- the vehicle comprising:
- a memory which stores a history of a magnitude of a physical load applied to a vehicle body;
- and
- a transmission section which transmits to a device outside the vehicle, the physical load applied to the vehicle body, which is stored in the memory;
- wherein the device outside the vehicle includes:
- a receiver section which receives the physical load applied to the vehicle body, which is transmitted from the vehicle;
- and
- a control section which performs a diagnostic operation for the electric component based on an electric characteristic of the electric component concurrently with performing the diagnostic operation for the electric component based on the history of the magnitude of the physical load applied to the vehicle body,
- the history being stored before the diagnostic operation for the electric component is performed.
