- a program such as the diagnostic program 17
- a more (or less) elaborate intelligent display module could also be utilized.
- the intelligent display module 14 is semi-permanently mounted within the vehicle 10 .
- semi-permanently mounted it is meant that the intelligent display module 14 is mounted within the vehicle 10 in a manner that is sufficiently rugged to withstand normal operation of the vehicle for extended periods of time (at least days or weeks) and still remain operational.
- the intelligent display module 14 is mounted such that it can never be removed (e.g., for servicing of the intelligent display module) without significantly degrading the structural integrity of the mounting structure employed to mount the intelligent display module 14 to the remainder of the vehicle 10 .
- the intelligent display module 14 is preferably mounted in an operator compartment of the vehicle 10 , for example, in a storage compartment within the operator compartment or on an operator panel provided on the dashboard.
- test control module 15 and in particular of the microprocessor 16 to execute the diagnostic program 17 , is shown and described in greater detail below in conjunction with the flow chart of FIG. 4.
- the microprocessor 16 executes the diagnostic program 17 to diagnose subsystem faults, to display fault information, to maintain vehicle maintenance records, and to perform data logging for system diagnosis and/or for accident reconstruction.
- the operator interface 18 includes the display 19 which is used to communicate (and, in particular, to display) information to the operator.
- the display 19 is used to prompt the operator to enter information into the keypad 20 , or to take certain actions with respect to the vehicle during testing (e.g., bring the engine to a specified RPM level).
- the display 19 is also used to display a menu or series of menus to allow the operator to select a test to be performed or to select another service of the intelligent display module 14 to be utilized.
- the display 19 is also used to display status information during system startup and during testing, and to display any error messages that arise during system startup or during testing.
- the display 19 is also used to display input data and fault mode indicators from control systems 24 - 30 , and any other information from additional vehicle subsystems.
- the display 19 is also used to display information from discrete sensors such as the sensors 22 .
- the display 19 is also used to display the results of diagnostic tests that are performed (e.g., a pass/fail message or other message).
- the display 19 displays all of this information to the operator in a user-friendly format as opposed to in the form of codes that must be interpreted by reference to a separate test or service manual.
- This is achieved in straightforward fashion by storing in the memory of the intelligent display module 14 information of the type commonly published in such manuals to facilitate manual interpretation of such codes, and using this information to perform the translation automatically.
- the display 19 is used to prompt the operator to take certain actions with respect to the vehicle during testing and to otherwise step the operator through any test procedures, without reference to a test manual. This allows the amount of operator training to be reduced.
- the operator interface 18 also includes the keypad 20 which is used to accept or receive operator inputs.
- the keypad 20 is used to allow the user to scroll through and otherwise navigate menus displayed by the display 19 (e.g., menus of possible tests to be performed on the vehicle 20 ), and to select menu items from those menus.
- the intelligent display module 14 also preferably includes a communication port that allows the display module to communicate with a personal computer 33 by way of a communication link 36 (see FIG. 2).
- the personal computer 33 can be used to retrieve, manipulate and examine data stored within the intelligent display module 14 .
- the intelligent display module 14 includes a data logger as described below, the personal computer can be used to retrieve and examine the information stored by the data logger.
- the personal computer 33 can be used to retrieve and modify data stored in the vehicle maintenance jacket. Further, using the personal computer 33 , it is possible to integrate the diagnostic system 12 with an interactive electronic technical manual (IETM), to allow the interactive electronic technical manual to access the data available from the diagnostic system 12 .
- IETM interactive electronic technical manual
- the test interface module 21 accepts requests from the intelligent display module 14 for information from the sensors 22 , retrieves the requested information from the respective sensor 22 , converts input signals from the respective sensor 22 into a format that is compatible with the network communication link 32 , and transmits the information from the respective sensor 22 to the intelligent display module 14 via the network communication link 32 .
- the test interface module 21 is therefore preferably implemented as a passive unit with no standard broadcasts that burden the communication link 32 . As a result, in operation, the test interface module 21 does not regularly transmit data on the network communication link 32 . Rather, the test interface module 21 passively monitors the network communication link 32 for information requests directed to the interface module 21 . When an information request is received, the test interface module 21 obtains the requested information from the relevant sensor 22 , and then transmits the requested information on the network communication link 32 to the intelligent display module 14 .
- the test interface module 21 may, for example, include as many inputs as there are sensors 22 . Each input may include associated switches for configuring the input, an analog-to-digital converter to convert analog signals to a digital format, and any other signal processing circuitry.
- the number of inputs is not important, since it is possible to use fewer test interface modules each with a larger number of inputs, or more test interface modules each with a smaller number of inputs. The number of inputs is not limited in any particular way and is determined by need.
- the test interface module 21 may be a commercially available unit capable of putting information from discrete sensors onto a network communication link such as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1708.

- SAE J1455 Society of Automotive Engineers
- the test interface module may, for example, be obtained from Advanced Technology Inc., Elkhart, Ind. 46517 (PN 3246282). Again, however, a wide range of devices of varying construction and complexity could be utilized to implement the test interface module 21 .
- the test interface module 21 is connected to the plurality of sensors 22 which are each capable of obtaining information pertaining to the health and operation of a vehicle subsystem. “Health” and “operation” are interrelated and information that pertains to one will, at least to some extent, pertain to the other as well.
- the sensors 22 are discrete sensors in the sense that they are not integrally provided with the control systems 24 - 30 and associated controlled mechanical systems (e.g., engine, transmission, and so on) 34 - 40 .
- the sensors are add-on devices that are used only in connection with the intelligent display module 14 . In general, discrete sensors are preferably only used when the information provided by the sensor is not otherwise available on the network communication link 32 . In FIG.
- the sensors 22 are shown to include a fuel filter inlet pressure sensor 22 a, fuel pump outlet pressure sensor 22 b, fuel return pressure sensor 22 c, oil filter sensors 22 d, an air cleaner pressure sensor 22 e, a fuel differential pressure switch 22 f, and a shunt resistor 22 g (used to determine compression imbalance based on unequal current peaks in the starter current).

- the control system 24 is a central tire inflation control system that controls a central tire inflation system (CTIS) 34
- the control system 26 is an anti-lock brake control system that controls an anti-lock brake system (ABS) 36
- the control system 28 is a transmission control system that controls a transmission 38
- the control system 30 is an engine control system that controls an engine 40 .
- the vehicle subsystems formed by the mechanical systems 34 - 40 and associated control systems 24 - 30 are conventional and are chosen in accordance with the intended use of the vehicle 10 .
- the control systems 24 - 30 each store information pertaining to the health and operation of a respective controlled system.
- the control systems 24 - 30 are capable of being queried and, in response, making the requested information available on the network communication link 32 . Because the vast amount of information required for performing most diagnostic tests of interest is available from the control systems 24 - 30 by way of the network communication link 32 , it is possible to drastically reduce the number of discrete sensors 22 that are required. Thus, as just noted, discrete sensors are preferably only used when the information provided by the sensor is not otherwise available on the network communication link 32 .
- each of the control systems 24 - 30 comprises a microprocessor-based electronic control unit (ECU) that is connected to the network communication link 32 .
- ECU electronice control unit
- the intelligent display module 14 issues a request for the information to the respective one of the control systems 24 - 30 .
- the respective control system then responds by making the requested information available on the network communication link 32 .
- Typical ECUs for transmission and engine control systems are capable of producing fault codes and transmitting the fault codes on the network communication link 32 .
- the fault codes may be transmitted automatically or alternative only in response to a specific request for fault information.
- Typical ECUs for central tire inflation systems and anti-lock brake systems also transmit fault codes but, in most commercially available systems, fault codes are transmitted only in response to specific requests for fault information.
- the intelligent display module 14 receives the fault codes from the network communication link 32 , interprets the fault codes, and displays the interpreted fault codes to a human operator using the display 19 .
- the display 19 displays menus to the operator and the keypad receives operator inputs used to navigate the menu, make menu selections, and begin testing. Assuming other services are also provided, the operator is first prompted to select an option from among a list of options that includes options of other services provided by the intelligent display module 14 .
- the list of options may include, for example, an option 50 to perform vehicle diagnostic testing, an option 52 to view engine codes, an option 54 to view transmission codes, an option 56 to view ABS codes, an option 58 to view CTIS codes, an 60 option to view and/or modify data in the vehicle maintenance jacket, and an option 62 to view information stored in a data logger.
- a vertically sliding winding 64 is used to scroll through the options, and the user presses a select button on the keypad 20 when a cursor 66 is positioned on the desired option.
- other options may also be provided.
- FIG. 4 a flow chart showing the operation of the diagnostic system of FIGS. 1 - 2 to perform a diagnostic test is illustrated.

- Alternator AC Measures alternator output 0-22 VAC Voltage Sense voltage. (VAC-RMS)
- the specific diagnostic tests that are performed will be selected depending on the application, including the type of equipment utilized by the vehicle 10 .
- Most or all tests may be simple in nature from a data acquisition standpoint, involving primarily bringing the vehicle to a particular operating condition (e.g., engine speed), if necessary, and obtaining information from a suitable transducer constructed and placed to measure the parameter of interest, although more elaborate tests could also be utilized.
- Any number of different vehicle parameters can be measured, each providing a separate data point regarding the operational health of the vehicle. By providing an operator with enough data points regarding the operational health of the vehicle, the operator can use this information in a known way to determine whether the vehicle is in good working order, or whether some subsystem or component thereof needs to be repaired or replaced.
- the display 19 displays a menu of various tests that are available to the operator, and the operator is prompted to select a test from the test menu.

- This step which may or may not be necessary depending on the type of test performed, may be used to prompt the operator to start the engine to develop fuel pressure, oil pressure, and so on, depending on which vehicle parameter is tested. For example, if it is desired to test the operational health of the battery, then the operator may be prompted to engage the starter for a predetermined amount of time to establish a current draw on the battery.
- the intelligent display module 14 issues a request for information from the test interface module 21 and/or from one or more of the control systems 24 - 30 .
- the test interface module 21 does not continually broadcast information on the network communication link 32 , because the sensors 22 connected to the test interface module are used only for diagnostic testing and because presumably diagnostic testing will be performed only infrequently. Therefore, when the intelligent display module 14 needs information from one of the sensors 22 pursuant to a test requested to be performed by the operator at the operator interface 18 , the intelligent display module 14 requests the test interface module 21 for this information.
- the needed information may be of a type that is available from one of the control systems 24 - 30 .

- the input status information is processed at the intelligent display module 14 . For example, if fuel supply pressure is measured by one of the sensors 22 , then the measured fuel supply pressure may be compared with upper and lower benchmark values to determine whether the fuel pressure is at an acceptable level, or whether it is too high or too low. Finally, at step 114 , the results of the test are displayed to the operator.
- the intelligent display module 14 can also be used to provide other services to an operator.
- the intelligent display module 14 can be used to allow the operator to view engine codes, to view transmission codes, to view ABS codes, and to view CTIS codes.
- these services can be implemented simply by allowing acquiring the respective codes from the respective control system 24 - 30 , and displaying the codes to the operator.
- the control systems 24 - 30 may automatically transmit fault information on the network communication link 32 , and the intelligent display module 14 can listen for such fault information and display the fault information to the user when it appears on the network communication link 32 .
- the intelligent display module 14 also includes sufficient memory to allow maintenance information to be stored therein to implement maintenance jacket functionality.
- the maintenance log may consist of a table comprising a variety of fields, such as registration numbers, chassis serial number, vehicle codes, and dates and descriptions of maintenance actions performed. This information may be retrieved and manipulated utilizing the computer 34 when the vehicle 10 is taken to a maintenance depot. If the computer 34 is provided with an interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) for the vehicle 10 , this allows the IETM to have access to all of the diagnostic data acquired by the intelligent display module 14 as well as all of the maintenance data stored by the intelligent display module 14 . This greatly enhances the ability to perform vehicle maintenance and diagnostics on the vehicle 10 .
- IETM interactive electronic technical manual
- sufficient memory capacity is preferably provided so that status information from the test interface module 21 as well as the control systems 24 - 30 can be sampled and stored at frequent, regular intervals in a circular data queue (i.e., with new data eventually replacing old data in the circular queue).
- This allows the intelligent display module 14 to provide a data logger service so that input data acquired over a period of time can be viewed to allow an assessment of dynamic conditions leading to a fault to be evaluated.
- the vehicle is preferably provided with one more sensors that indicate whether a severe malfunction (e.g., the vehicle being involved in an accident) has occurred. When inputs from these sensors indicates that a severe malfunction has occurred, data logging is stopped, so that data leading up to the severe malfunction is stored in a manner similar to a so-called “black box recorder.”

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 09/500,506, filed Feb. 9, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,553,290, issued Feb. 22, 2003, hereby incorporated by reference.
- This invention relates to diagnostic systems for equipment service vehicles. In particular, this invention relates to an on-board diagnostic system for equipment service vehicles.
- Modern vehicles have become increasingly complex and difficult to maintain. In order to enable more efficient vehicle maintenance, it is desirable to be able to accurately diagnose malfunctioning subsystems, such as engine systems, transmission systems, and so on, as well as specific vehicle components. When a malfunction is not properly diagnosed, the result is typically that parts which are fully operational are repaired or replaced, that parts which are repairable are replaced, and/or that parts which are not fully operational are not repaired or replaced. Accurate diagnoses therefore allow more efficient vehicle maintenance by avoiding unnecessary repairs and replacements, and by enabling necessary repairs and replacements to be made.
- It is known to provide electronic diagnostic systems to aid in the accurate diagnoses of vehicle malfunctions. Government Report No. CR-82-588-003, entitled “STE/ICE-R Design Guide For Vehicle Diagnostic Connector Assemblies,” February 1988, describes a diagnostic system used in connection with military vehicles. According to the approach described in this document, a military vehicle is provided with numerous sensors that are located throughout the vehicle and each of which obtains information pertaining to the health and operation of a subsystem of the vehicle. The sensors are used to measure typical parameters of interest such as engine RPM, engine temperature, fuel pressure, and so on. The sensors are connected by way of vehicle wiring to a common connector assembly. Diagnostic equipment provided at a maintenance depot is then capable of connecting to the various sensors by way of the connector assembly. At the maintenance depot, the diagnostic equipment can be utilized to perform tests on the vehicle to aid pinpointing the source of vehicle system malfunction.
- In this arrangement, the sensors that are used by the diagnostic system are used exclusively by the diagnostic equipment at the maintenance depot, and not by other systems during normal operation of the vehicle. Additionally, in this arrangement, the connector assembly defines a hardwired analog interface between the sensors and the diagnostic equipment, and the diagnostic equipment expects signals appearing at given pins of the connector assembly to have predefined signal characteristics that are unique to the sensor utilized.
- This approach suffers several disadvantages. First, this approach is expensive to implement because it requires numerous sensors above and beyond those required for normal operation of the vehicle. Additionally, the required sensors typically have unique signal characteristics that are specifically matched to the diagnostic equipment, and therefore the sensors are specialty items that are more expensive and not commonly available.
- Second, this approach results in a diagnostic system with an unduly limited capability to accurately diagnose system faults. The capabilities of the diagnostic system are limited by the fact that the diagnostic system only utilizes information that is available from the diagnostic system sensors and not from other sources of information available on-board the vehicle. Therefore, the number of different types of information that can be obtained is limited to the number of diagnostic system sensors utilized. Further, because the sensors that are utilized tend to be specialty items as previously noted, they often do not incorporate the latest advances in sensor technology that provide performance/durability improvements over earlier sensor technologies. This further limits the accuracy of the diagnostic system as compared to that which could otherwise be achieved.
- Finally, this approach is unduly cumbersome to utilize. As previously noted, the diagnostic equipment is provided at a maintenance depot and not on-board the vehicle. Therefore, in order to have a vehicle malfunction diagnosed, the vehicle must be brought to the maintenance depot. This requirement is inconvenient and limits the potential for field servicing of vehicles to minimize the amount of time that the vehicle is out of service for maintenance reasons.
- The present invention overcomes the problems of conventional diagnostic systems for equipment service vehicles. In particular, in one particularly preferred embodiment, the invention provides an equipment service vehicle comprising a network communication link, a plurality of vehicle subsystems, a test control module, and an operator interface. The vehicle subsystems each comprise a mechanical system and an electronic control system that controls the mechanical system. For example, one vehicle subsystem may comprise an engine and an engine control system, and another vehicle subsystem may comprise a transmission and a transmission control system. Each respective electronic control system is connected to the network communication link and transmits information pertaining to the health and operation of the associated mechanical system on the network communication link. The test control module is coupled to the plurality of vehicle subsystems by way of the network communication link. The test control module is programmed to acquire at least some of the information pertaining to the health and operation of the mechanical system. The operator interface is coupled to the test control module and comprises a display that displays the at least some information pertaining to the health and operation of the mechanical system.
- According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the invention provides a method of diagnosing a fault on an equipment service vehicle comprising providing the equipment service vehicle with an on-board diagnostic system. The on board diagnostic system comprises a test control module and an operator interface that are mounted on the vehicle. The method also comprises displaying a menu of test options to an operator using the operator interface and receiving an operator input using the operator interface. The input is indicative of a menu selection made by the operator, and the menu selection indicates a test selected by the operator to be performed on the vehicle. Further, the method comprises performing the selected test on the vehicle in response to the operator input, and displaying results of the test to the operator using the operator interface.
- According to yet another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the invention provides an equipment service vehicle comprising a network communication link, an engine system, a transmission system, and an operator interface. The engine system includes an engine and an electronic engine control system that is coupled to the engine and to the network communication link. The electronic engine control system controls the engine and transmits information pertaining to the health and operation of the engine on the network communication link. The transmission system includes a transmission and an electronic transmission control system. The electronic transmission control system controls the transmission and transmits information pertaining to the health and operation of the transmission on the network communication link. The operator interface is coupled to the network communication link and includes a display that displays the health and operation information of the engine and the transmission to a human operator.

It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration and not limitation. Many modifications and changes within the scope of the present invention may be made without departing from the spirit thereof, and the invention includes all such modifications.

- Referring now to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of an
equipment service vehicle 10 having adiagnostic system 12 according to an embodiment of the invention is illustrated. By way of overview, thediagnostic system 12 comprises anintelligent display module 14, atest interface module 21 connected to a plurality ofsensors 22, and a plurality of additional vehicle control systems 24-30. Theintelligent display module 14, thetest interface module 21, and the plurality of additional vehicle control systems 24-30 are interconnected with each other by way of anetwork communication link 32. - More specifically, the
vehicle 10 is a military vehicle and, in particular, a medium tactical vehicle. However, it should be understood that thediagnostic system 12 of FIG. 1 could also be used with other types of military vehicles. For example, thediagnostic system 12 could be used in connection with heavy equipment transporter vehicles, which are used to transport battle tanks, fighting and recovery vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, construction equipment and other types of equipment. These types of vehicles are useable on primary, secondary, and unimproved roads and trails, and are able to transport in excess of 100,000 pounds or even in the range of 200,000 pounds or more. Thediagnostic system 12 can also be used in connection with palletized load transport vehicles, in which a mobile truck and trailer form a self-contained system capable of loading and unloading a wide range of cargo without the need for forklifts or other material handling equipment. Such trucks are provided with a demountable cargo bed and a hydraulically powered arm with a hook that lifts the cargo bed on or off the truck. These trucks may be also provided with a crane to drop off the pallets individually if the entire load is not needed. Further, thediagnostic system 12 can also be used in connection with trucks designed for carrying payloads for cross country military missions. Such trucks may include, for example, cargo trucks, tractors, fuel servicing trucks, portable water trucks, and recovery vehicles (with crane and winch). Such trucks are capable of passing through water crossings three or four or more feet deep. These trucks can also be used for missile transports/launchers, resupply of fueled artillery ammunition and forward area rearm vehicles, refueling of tracked and wheeled vehicles and helicopters, and recovery of disabled wheeled and tracked vehicles. Thediagnostic system 12 can be used in connection with a wide range of other military vehicles as well. - The
intelligent display module 14 provides an operator interface to thediagnostic system 12 and also provides intelligence used to conduct diagnostic tests and other services. In particular, theintelligent display module 14 includes a test control module 15 (which further includes amicroprocessor 16 and a diagnostic program 17) and an operator interface 18 (which further includes adisplay 19 and a keypad 20) (see FIG. 2). - In the preferred embodiment, the
test control module 15 and theoperator interface 18 are provided as a single, integrated unit (namely, the intelligent display module 14) and share the same housing as well as at least some of the internal electronics. Other arrangements are possible, however. For example, as can be easily imagined, it would also be possible to provide thetest control module 15 and theoperator interface 18 in the form of separate physical units, although this arrangement is not preferred for reasons of increased cost and parts count. Both thetest control module 15 and theoperator interface 18 can be obtained in the form of a single, integrated unit from Advanced Technology, Inc., Elkhart, Ind. 46517. This product provides a generic flat panel 4 line×20character display 19, fourbutton keypad 20,microprocessor 16, and memory that is capable of being programmed with a program (such as the diagnostic program 17) to customize the intelligent display module for a particular application. Of course, a more (or less) elaborate intelligent display module could also be utilized. - Also in the preferred embodiment, the
intelligent display module 14 is semi-permanently mounted within thevehicle 10. By semi-permanently mounted, it is meant that theintelligent display module 14 is mounted within thevehicle 10 in a manner that is sufficiently rugged to withstand normal operation of the vehicle for extended periods of time (at least days or weeks) and still remain operational. However, that is not to say that theintelligent display module 14 is mounted such that it can never be removed (e.g., for servicing of the intelligent display module) without significantly degrading the structural integrity of the mounting structure employed to mount theintelligent display module 14 to the remainder of thevehicle 10. Theintelligent display module 14 is preferably mounted in an operator compartment of thevehicle 10, for example, in a storage compartment within the operator compartment or on an operator panel provided on the dashboard. - The operation of the
test control module 15, and in particular of themicroprocessor 16 to execute thediagnostic program 17, is shown and described in greater detail below in conjunction with the flow chart of FIG. 4. In general, themicroprocessor 16 executes thediagnostic program 17 to diagnose subsystem faults, to display fault information, to maintain vehicle maintenance records, and to perform data logging for system diagnosis and/or for accident reconstruction. Depending on the application, it may be desirable to incorporate additional services as well, or to incorporate fewer than all of these services. - The
operator interface 18 includes thedisplay 19 which is used to communicate (and, in particular, to display) information to the operator. For example, thedisplay 19 is used to prompt the operator to enter information into thekeypad 20, or to take certain actions with respect to the vehicle during testing (e.g., bring the engine to a specified RPM level). Thedisplay 19 is also used to display a menu or series of menus to allow the operator to select a test to be performed or to select another service of theintelligent display module 14 to be utilized. Thedisplay 19 is also used to display status information during system startup and during testing, and to display any error messages that arise during system startup or during testing. Thedisplay 19 is also used to display input data and fault mode indicators from control systems 24-30, and any other information from additional vehicle subsystems. Thedisplay 19 is also used to display information from discrete sensors such as thesensors 22. Thedisplay 19 is also used to display the results of diagnostic tests that are performed (e.g., a pass/fail message or other message). - Preferably, the
display 19 displays all of this information to the operator in a user-friendly format as opposed to in the form of codes that must be interpreted by reference to a separate test or service manual. This is achieved in straightforward fashion by storing in the memory of theintelligent display module 14 information of the type commonly published in such manuals to facilitate manual interpretation of such codes, and using this information to perform the translation automatically. Likewise, as previously noted, thedisplay 19 is used to prompt the operator to take certain actions with respect to the vehicle during testing and to otherwise step the operator through any test procedures, without reference to a test manual. This allows the amount of operator training to be reduced. - The
operator interface 18 also includes thekeypad 20 which is used to accept or receive operator inputs. For example, thekeypad 20 is used to allow the user to scroll through and otherwise navigate menus displayed by the display 19 (e.g., menus of possible tests to be performed on the vehicle 20), and to select menu items from those menus. - As previously noted, it would also be possible to utilize a more elaborate intelligent display module. For example, a more
elaborate keypad 20 could be utilized if more data entry capability is desired. In this regard, however, it is noted that theintelligent display module 14 also preferably includes a communication port that allows the display module to communicate with apersonal computer 33 by way of a communication link 36 (see FIG. 2). Thepersonal computer 33 can be used to retrieve, manipulate and examine data stored within theintelligent display module 14. For example, if theintelligent display module 14 includes a data logger as described below, the personal computer can be used to retrieve and examine the information stored by the data logger. Likewise, if theintelligent display module 14 implements a vehicle maintenance jacket, thepersonal computer 33 can be used to retrieve and modify data stored in the vehicle maintenance jacket. Further, using thepersonal computer 33, it is possible to integrate thediagnostic system 12 with an interactive electronic technical manual (IETM), to allow the interactive electronic technical manual to access the data available from thediagnostic system 12. - The
test interface module 21 accepts requests from theintelligent display module 14 for information from thesensors 22, retrieves the requested information from therespective sensor 22, converts input signals from therespective sensor 22 into a format that is compatible with thenetwork communication link 32, and transmits the information from therespective sensor 22 to theintelligent display module 14 via thenetwork communication link 32. Thetest interface module 21 is therefore preferably implemented as a passive unit with no standard broadcasts that burden thecommunication link 32. As a result, in operation, thetest interface module 21 does not regularly transmit data on thenetwork communication link 32. Rather, thetest interface module 21 passively monitors thenetwork communication link 32 for information requests directed to theinterface module 21. When an information request is received, thetest interface module 21 obtains the requested information from therelevant sensor 22, and then transmits the requested information on thenetwork communication link 32 to theintelligent display module 14. - The
test interface module 21 may, for example, include as many inputs as there aresensors 22. Each input may include associated switches for configuring the input, an analog-to-digital converter to convert analog signals to a digital format, and any other signal processing circuitry. The number of inputs is not important, since it is possible to use fewer test interface modules each with a larger number of inputs, or more test interface modules each with a smaller number of inputs. The number of inputs is not limited in any particular way and is determined by need. - In practice, the
test interface module 21 may be a commercially available unit capable of putting information from discrete sensors onto a network communication link such as SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1708. Thetest interface module 21 preferably also meets applicable standards for underhood installation, such as SAE J1455, to allow the test interface module to be located in close proximity to thesensors 22 to reduce wiring. The test interface module may, for example, be obtained from Advanced Technology Inc., Elkhart, Ind. 46517 (PN 3246282). Again, however, a wide range of devices of varying construction and complexity could be utilized to implement thetest interface module 21. - The
test interface module 21 is connected to the plurality ofsensors 22 which are each capable of obtaining information pertaining to the health and operation of a vehicle subsystem. “Health” and “operation” are interrelated and information that pertains to one will, at least to some extent, pertain to the other as well. Thesensors 22 are discrete sensors in the sense that they are not integrally provided with the control systems 24-30 and associated controlled mechanical systems (e.g., engine, transmission, and so on) 34-40. The sensors are add-on devices that are used only in connection with theintelligent display module 14. In general, discrete sensors are preferably only used when the information provided by the sensor is not otherwise available on thenetwork communication link 32. In FIG. 2, thesensors 22 are shown to include a fuel filterinlet pressure sensor 22 a, fuel pumpoutlet pressure sensor 22 b, fuelreturn pressure sensor 22 c,oil filter sensors 22 d, an aircleaner pressure sensor 22 e, a fueldifferential pressure switch 22 f, and ashunt resistor 22 g (used to determine compression imbalance based on unequal current peaks in the starter current). - In addition to the
intelligent display module 14 and thetest interface module 21, thediagnostic system 12 also includes a plurality of additional vehicle control systems 24-30, as previously noted. As shown in FIG. 2, thecontrol system 24 is a central tire inflation control system that controls a central tire inflation system (CTIS) 34, thecontrol system 26 is an anti-lock brake control system that controls an anti-lock brake system (ABS) 36, thecontrol system 28 is a transmission control system that controls atransmission 38, and thecontrol system 30 is an engine control system that controls anengine 40. The vehicle subsystems formed by the mechanical systems 34-40 and associated control systems 24-30 are conventional and are chosen in accordance with the intended use of thevehicle 10. - The control systems24-30 each store information pertaining to the health and operation of a respective controlled system. The control systems 24-30 are capable of being queried and, in response, making the requested information available on the
network communication link 32. Because the vast amount of information required for performing most diagnostic tests of interest is available from the control systems 24-30 by way of thenetwork communication link 32, it is possible to drastically reduce the number ofdiscrete sensors 22 that are required. Thus, as just noted, discrete sensors are preferably only used when the information provided by the sensor is not otherwise available on thenetwork communication link 32. - Typically, each of the control systems24-30 comprises a microprocessor-based electronic control unit (ECU) that is connected to the
network communication link 32. When theintelligent display module 14 requires status information pertaining to one of the mechanical systems 34-40, theintelligent display module 14 issues a request for the information to the respective one of the control systems 24-30. The respective control system then responds by making the requested information available on thenetwork communication link 32. - Typical ECUs for transmission and engine control systems are capable of producing fault codes and transmitting the fault codes on the
network communication link 32. Depending on the type of fault, the fault codes may be transmitted automatically or alternative only in response to a specific request for fault information. Typical ECUs for central tire inflation systems and anti-lock brake systems also transmit fault codes but, in most commercially available systems, fault codes are transmitted only in response to specific requests for fault information. When a fault code is transmitted on thenetwork communication link 32, theintelligent display module 14 receives the fault codes from thenetwork communication link 32, interprets the fault codes, and displays the interpreted fault codes to a human operator using thedisplay 19. - Referring now to FIG. 3, in general, during operation, the
display 19 displays menus to the operator and the keypad receives operator inputs used to navigate the menu, make menu selections, and begin testing. Assuming other services are also provided, the operator is first prompted to select an option from among a list of options that includes options of other services provided by theintelligent display module 14. The list of options may include, for example, anoption 50 to perform vehicle diagnostic testing, anoption 52 to view engine codes, anoption 54 to view transmission codes, anoption 56 to view ABS codes, anoption 58 to view CTIS codes, an 60 option to view and/or modify data in the vehicle maintenance jacket, and anoption 62 to view information stored in a data logger. Given that thedisplay 19 is a four line display in the preferred embodiment, a vertically sliding winding 64 is used to scroll through the options, and the user presses a select button on thekeypad 20 when acursor 66 is positioned on the desired option. As previously noted, other options may also be provided. - Referring now to FIG. 4, a flow chart showing the operation of the diagnostic system of FIGS.1-2 to perform a diagnostic test is illustrated. In connection with military vehicles, the
diagnostic system 12 may for example be made capable of performing the following diagnostic tests, all of which provide information pertaining to the health and operation of the tested subsystem: - [0041]

(VAC-RMS) - In general, the specific diagnostic tests that are performed will be selected depending on the application, including the type of equipment utilized by the
vehicle 10. Most or all tests may be simple in nature from a data acquisition standpoint, involving primarily bringing the vehicle to a particular operating condition (e.g., engine speed), if necessary, and obtaining information from a suitable transducer constructed and placed to measure the parameter of interest, although more elaborate tests could also be utilized. Any number of different vehicle parameters can be measured, each providing a separate data point regarding the operational health of the vehicle. By providing an operator with enough data points regarding the operational health of the vehicle, the operator can use this information in a known way to determine whether the vehicle is in good working order, or whether some subsystem or component thereof needs to be repaired or replaced. - At
step 102, once the vehicle diagnostic option is selected, thedisplay 19 displays a menu of various tests that are available to the operator, and the operator is prompted to select a test from the test menu. Again, the list of options may comprise dozens of options, such as some or all of those listed above, and/or tests other than those listed above, and the operator can scroll through the menu and selected the desired option. - At
Step 104, the operator is prompted to perform a vehicle related action. This step, which may or may not be necessary depending on the type of test performed, may be used to prompt the operator to start the engine to develop fuel pressure, oil pressure, and so on, depending on which vehicle parameter is tested. For example, if it is desired to test the operational health of the battery, then the operator may be prompted to engage the starter for a predetermined amount of time to establish a current draw on the battery. - At
Step 106, theintelligent display module 14 issues a request for information from the test interface module 21and/or from one or more of the control systems 24-30. As previously noted, thetest interface module 21 does not continually broadcast information on thenetwork communication link 32, because thesensors 22 connected to the test interface module are used only for diagnostic testing and because presumably diagnostic testing will be performed only infrequently. Therefore, when theintelligent display module 14 needs information from one of thesensors 22 pursuant to a test requested to be performed by the operator at theoperator interface 18, theintelligent display module 14 requests thetest interface module 21 for this information. - Alternatively, the needed information may be of a type that is available from one of the control systems24-30. The control systems 24-30 are not only able to acquire information from sensors located within the systems 34-40, but are also able to maintain information derived from sensors located within the systems 34-40. For example, the
engine control system 30 may maintain information pertaining to the average RPM of the engine, which is a parameter that is not directly measurable but that can be easily calculated based on parameters that are directly measurable. Through thenetwork communication link 32, all of this information is made available to thediagnostic system 12. When theintelligent display module 14 needs information from one of the control systems 24-30 pursuant to a test requested to be performed by the operator at theoperator interface 18, theintelligent display module 14 requests the respective control system for this information. - At
Step 108, the requested information is retrieved from one of thesensors 22 by thetest interface module 21, or from memory or an internal sensor by the respective control system 24-30. Atstep 110, the information is transmitted from thetest interface module 21 or from one of the control systems 24-30 to theintelligent display module 14 by way of thenetwork communication link 32. - At
step 112, the input status information is processed at theintelligent display module 14. For example, if fuel supply pressure is measured by one of thesensors 22, then the measured fuel supply pressure may be compared with upper and lower benchmark values to determine whether the fuel pressure is at an acceptable level, or whether it is too high or too low. Finally, atstep 114, the results of the test are displayed to the operator. - As has been previously noted, in addition to performing diagnostic tests, the
intelligent display module 14 can also be used to provide other services to an operator. For example, theintelligent display module 14 can be used to allow the operator to view engine codes, to view transmission codes, to view ABS codes, and to view CTIS codes. In practice, these services can be implemented simply by allowing acquiring the respective codes from the respective control system 24-30, and displaying the codes to the operator. Additionally, the control systems 24-30 may automatically transmit fault information on thenetwork communication link 32, and theintelligent display module 14 can listen for such fault information and display the fault information to the user when it appears on thenetwork communication link 32. - The
intelligent display module 14 also includes sufficient memory to allow maintenance information to be stored therein to implement maintenance jacket functionality. The maintenance log may consist of a table comprising a variety of fields, such as registration numbers, chassis serial number, vehicle codes, and dates and descriptions of maintenance actions performed. This information may be retrieved and manipulated utilizing thecomputer 34 when thevehicle 10 is taken to a maintenance depot. If thecomputer 34 is provided with an interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) for thevehicle 10, this allows the IETM to have access to all of the diagnostic data acquired by theintelligent display module 14 as well as all of the maintenance data stored by theintelligent display module 14. This greatly enhances the ability to perform vehicle maintenance and diagnostics on thevehicle 10. - Additionally, sufficient memory capacity is preferably provided so that status information from the
test interface module 21 as well as the control systems 24-30 can be sampled and stored at frequent, regular intervals in a circular data queue (i.e., with new data eventually replacing old data in the circular queue). This allows theintelligent display module 14 to provide a data logger service so that input data acquired over a period of time can be viewed to allow an assessment of dynamic conditions leading to a fault to be evaluated. Additionally, the vehicle is preferably provided with one more sensors that indicate whether a severe malfunction (e.g., the vehicle being involved in an accident) has occurred. When inputs from these sensors indicates that a severe malfunction has occurred, data logging is stopped, so that data leading up to the severe malfunction is stored in a manner similar to a so-called “black box recorder.” - Referring now to FIG. 5, a schematic view of another type of
equipment service vehicle 110 that utilizes thediagnostic system 12 of FIGS. 1-4 is shown. Theequipment service vehicle 110 is a firefighting vehicle and comprises a water dispensing system 115 including water hoses, pumps, control valves, and so on, used to direct water at the scene of a fire. Thefirefighting vehicle 110 may also comprise afoam dispensing system 118 as an alternative fire extinguishing system. Thefirefighting vehicle 110 also comprisesemergency lighting 124, which may in practice be red and white or red, white and blue flashing lights, as well as anemergency horn 126 and anemergency siren 128 used, among other things, for alerting motorists to the presence of thefirefighting vehicle 110 in transit to or at the scene of a fire. Thefirefighting vehicle 110 may also comprise an extendable aerial 131 that supports abasket 132 used to vertically carry firefighting personnel to an emergency situation at the scene of a fire. Thediagnostic system 12 may be used to diagnose vehicle malfunctions in the manner described above in connection with thevehicle 10, as well as to diagnose malfunctions of the specialized systems described above found on firefighting vehicles. - Referring now to FIG. 6, a schematic view of another type of
equipment service vehicle 210 that utilizes thediagnostic system 12 of FIGS. 1-4 is shown. Theequipment service vehicle 210 is a mixing vehicle such as a cement mixing vehicle. The mixingvehicle 210 comprises arotatable mixing drum 215 that is driven by engine power from theengine 40 via apower takeoff mechanism 220. Rotation of the mixingdrum 215 is controlled under operator control using acontrol system 225. The mixingvehicle 210 also includes adispenser 230 that dispenses the mixed matter or material, for example, mixed cement. Thediagnostic system 12 may be used to diagnose vehicle malfunctions in the manner described above in connection with thevehicle 10, as well as to diagnose malfunctions of the specialized systems described above found on mixing vehicles. - Referring now to FIG. 7, a schematic view of another type of
equipment service vehicle 310 that utilizes thediagnostic system 12 of FIGS. 1-4 is shown. Theequipment service vehicle 310 is a refuse handling vehicle and comprises one or more refuse compartments 315 for storing collected refuse and other materials such as goods for recycling. Therefuse handling vehicle 310 also includes ahydraulic compactor 317 for compacting collected refuse. Thehydraulic compactor 317 is driven by engine power from theengine 40 via apower takeoff mechanism 320. The refuse handling vehicle may also include an automatic loading or tipping system 325 for loading large refuse containers and for transferring the contents of the refuse containers into one of thecompartments 315. The loading system 325 as well as the hydraulic compactor may controlled under operator control using acontrol system 330. Thediagnostic system 12 may be used to diagnose vehicle malfunctions in the manner described above in connection with thevehicle 10, as well as to diagnose malfunctions of the specialized systems described above found on refuse handling vehicles. - Referring now to FIG. 8, a schematic view of another type of
equipment service vehicle 410 that utilizes thediagnostic system 12 of FIGS. 1-4 is shown. Theequipment service vehicle 410 is a snow removal vehicle and comprises asnow removal device 415 which may, for example, be a rotary blower, plow, or sweeper. Thesnow removal device 415 may be driven by engine power from theengine 40 via apower takeoff mechanism 420 to remove snow from a region near thesnow removal vehicle 410 as thesnow removal vehicle 410 is moving. Thediagnostic system 12 may be used to diagnose vehicle malfunctions in the manner described above in connection with thevehicle 10, as well as to diagnose malfunctions of the specialized systems described above found on snow removal vehicles. - Advantageously, due to the utilization of a network architecture in the preferred embodiment, the diagnostic system is able to use sensors and other sources of information that are already provided on the vehicle, because it is able to interact with other vehicle control systems such as the engine control system, the anti-lock brake control system, the central tire inflation control system, and so on, via a network communication link. The fact that the diagnostic system is connected to these other systems, which are all typically capable of providing a vast array of status information, puts this status information at the disposal of the diagnostic system.
- Further, due to the utilization of an intelligent display module in the preferred embodiment, it is possible for the intelligent display module to be connected to the network communication link and collect information as necessary for a variety of purposes. Thus, the preferred intelligent display module is microprocessor-based and is capable of executing firmware to provide additional functionality such as data logging, accident reconstruction, and a vehicle maintenance record. Again, this functionality can be achieved by taking advantage of the information available from the vehicle subsystems by way of the network architecture.
- Moreover, by mounting the intelligent display module on board the vehicle in the preferred embodiment, for example, in an operator compartment, it is not necessary to bring the vehicle to a maintenance depot to have vehicle malfunctions diagnosed. The services offered by the intelligent display module are available wherever and whenever the vehicle is in operation.
