A tire pressure and location monitoring system includes N tire pressure sensors associated with N tires of a vehicle, where N is an integer greater than one. A tire pressure and location monitoring system is configured to communicate with the N tire pressure sensors, store a tire rotation map, and determine whether new locations of the N tires, including the N tire pressure sensors, on the vehicle are correct after a tire rotation is performed based on the tire rotation map.

A method for correcting service manual textual inconsistencies. Extracting textual procedures from service documents stored in a memory of a service document storage device. Each term of an extracted textual procedure terminology is compared to a correlating target name terminology for identifying any matching terms by a processor. An overlap similarity is computed as a function of the identified matching terms from the extracted textual procedure terminology and the correlating target name terminology. A determination is made whether the overlap similarity is greater than a predetermined similarity threshold. The service documents are modified to change the extracted textual procedure terminology to the correlating target name terminology in response to the overlap similarity being greater than the predetermined similarity threshold and the extracted textual procedure terminology not exactly matching the correlating target name terminology.

Semantics mismatch in service information

A method for vehicle diagnostic knowledge delivery comprising receiving a search request from a user system and accessing a database of case records in response to the search request. Each of the case records includes a case-record number attribute, a set of vehicle-description attributes, a set of bookkeeping attributes, a set of system attributes, a set of symptom attributes, and a set of action attributes. The method further comprises searching the database of case records for a case record responsive to the search request. If a case record responsive to the search request is located, it is transmitted to the user system.

Vehicle diagnostic knowledge delivery

A method for vehicle diagnostic record mapping comprising receiving a vehicle service record. A target record is created in response to receiving the vehicle service record. The target record includes a target-record number attribute, a set of vehicle-description attributes, a set of bookkeeping attributes, a set of system attributes, a set of symptom attributes, and a set of action attributes. Vehicle description data is mapped into the set of vehicle-description attributes in response to locating the vehicle description data in the vehicle service record. Bookkeeping data is mapped into the set of bookkeeping attributes in response to locating the bookkeeping data in the vehicle service record. Vehicle system data is mapped into the set of system attributes in response to locating the system data in the vehicle service record. Symptom data is mapped into the set of symptom attributes in response to locating the symptom data in the vehicle service record. Action data is mapped into the set of action attributes in response to locating the action data in the vehicle service record.
