A method for monitoring a vehicle, the method includes measuring multiple vehicle operating parameters using a vehicle monitor; wherein the vehicle monitor is mechanically coupled to the vehicle or installed in the vehicle; searching, by the vehicle monitor, for one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters; wherein an out-of-range vehicle operating parameter is a vehicle operating parameter that is outside an allowable range of the vehicle operating parameter; and responding to the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters by the vehicle monitor; wherein the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters are indicative of at least one vehicle failure that is impending; wherein the responding precedes an occurrence of the at least one vehicle failure that is impending; and wherein the responding comprises at least one out of: sending one or more out-of-range alerts indicting about the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters; sending additional information relating to the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters; requesting to receive a vehicle monitor software update for managing the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters; and triggering a vehicle monitor software update for managing the one or more out-of-range vehicle operating parameters.

Faster product improvement

A method for failure analysis and technician assessment, the method may include sensing sensed vehicle parameters by multiple vehicle sensors that comprise multiple types of sensors; calculating, by a vehicle monitor, based on the sensed vehicle parameters, parameters of multiple vehicle components; wherein the vehicle monitor is mechanically coupled to the vehicle or installed in the vehicle; searching, by the vehicle monitor and based on the parameters of the multiple vehicle components, for a vehicle failure that is either a current vehicle failure or an impeding vehicle failure; receiving, by the vehicle monitor, a notification that the vehicle failure was repaired; and estimating an impact of the repair by the vehicle monitor and based on at least parameters of multiple vehicle components that are calculated from sensed vehicle parameters that are sensed after the repair.

Service improvement by better incoming diagnosis data, problem specific training and technician feedback

A method for failure analysis and warranty claim assessment, the method may include sensing sensed vehicle parameters by multiple vehicle sensors that include multiple types of sensors; calculating, by a vehicle monitor, based on the sensed vehicle parameters, parameters of multiple vehicle components; wherein the vehicle monitor is mechanically coupled to a vehicle or installed in the vehicle; determining, by the vehicle monitor and based on the parameters of the multiple vehicle components, whether the operation of the vehicle exceeds a warrantable operation of the vehicle; and evaluating, by the vehicle monitor and based on the parameters of the multiple vehicle components and by the vehicle monitor, whether a vehicle failure resulted from an operation of the vehicle that exceeds the warrantable operation of the vehicle or will result from the operation of the vehicle that exceeds the warrantable operation of the vehicle.
