Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for learning characteristics of a road segment and using the learning during a subsequent travel on the road segment to preview the road segment and schedule diagnostic routines to increase in-use monitor performance (IUMP) rates for vehicle system diagnostics. In one example, a method may include scheduling a diagnostic routine for an engine sub-system based on the learned characteristics of the road segment, and a variable adjustable based on IUMP rate.
