Abstract
An automotive diagnostic method aimed at focusing diagnostic data retrieval and analysis on a possible fault condition includes receiving vehicle data from a vehicle at a data acquisition and transfer device (DAT) and analyzing the vehicle data to identify a possible fault condition. A drive cycle associated with the identified possible fault condition is identified, and driving conditions are monitored to identify completion of the identified drive cycle. Upon completion of the identified drive cycle, vehicle data is analyzed to identify an abnormal monitor. Vehicle data is also analyzed to identify an abnormal value of In-Use Monitor Performance Ratio (IUMPR) associated with the abnormal monitor. When an abnormal value of IUMPR is identified, a likely diagnostic condition associated with the identified abnormal IUMPR is further identified.
