Abstract
An apparatus for diagnosing remaining belt life is configured to diagnose the remaining life of a belt driven by an engine. The remaining life of the belt is diagnosed based on frequency distribution of an operation point that is made up of speed of the engine and a load factor of the engine or a fuel injection rate. This makes it possible to achieve accurate diagnosis of the remaining life of the belt.
