A device for determining whether a defect of a component is determinable based on results of predefined diagnostic options, including: storing, in a matrix, parameters which, for each combination of one component defect and one diagnosis result, provide a measure of whether the respective defect is possible for the respective diagnosis result, the matrix rows being assigned to one of the diagnosis results, the matrix columns being assigned to one of the defects; selecting at least two matrix rows which, for a diagnosis result consistent with the defect to be identified, include a parameter greater than a predefined first limiting value; calculating a result vector by the element-wise multiplication of the selected matrix rows; and determining whether the result vector includes at least one element not smaller than a predefined second limiting value, the result vector elements, which are smaller, not being greater than a predefined third limiting value.

Device and method for determining the pinpoint-ability of possible defects of one or multiple component(s)

Testing of a vehicle battery in a state removed from a vehicle, using a testing device that is fashioned for testing the vehicle battery installed in the vehicle using an on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle. The device has: an interface to which a plug of the testing device can be connected, the plug being for connection to the on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle; an electrical connecting device via which at least one electrical vehicle battery terminal of the vehicle battery is connectable to the device; and an adapter device by which signals receivable from the electrical vehicle battery terminal of the vehicle battery via the connecting device are conductible to the interface in such a way that the signals at the interface for the testing device are capable of being tested via the plug corresponding to a configuration of the on-board diagnostic interface of the vehicle.
