Abstract
A diagnostic method, executable for example from remote computing devices or onboard control units for machines having various systems, each system having associated electronic controllers. For a specified machine and configuration, a hierarchical list is automatically generated comprising systems associated with the machine and one or more expected electronic controllers for each system. At least pursuant to initiation of a diagnostic program via an onboard control unit of the specified machine, respective input signals are obtained from present electronic controllers in functional communication with the onboard control unit. For each of any expected electronic controllers for which respective input signals are not obtained, a status alert is generated corresponding to a determined missing status or failure status, wherein the determined missing or failure status is based on an optionality of the respective expected electronic controller for which respective input signals are not obtained and/or an optionality of the corresponding system.
