Abstract
A vehicle diagnosis apparatus includes an accumulation unit and a storage control unit. The accumulation unit cumulatively adds a numerical value indicating a normal operation history of each normal operation made to a vehicle to an initialized cumulative total value having a predetermined number of digits, during a time period from an assembly of a vehicle component to an actual use of the vehicle, and stores the cumulative total value in a non-volatile storage unit. The storage control unit, in response to an abnormality occurrence in the vehicle, stores a corresponding diagnosis code in the non-volatile storage unit. The accumulation unit further cumulatively adds a numerical value indicating the abnormality occurrence to the cumulative total value. The storage control unit stores, in the non-volatile storage unit, the diagnosis code indicating the abnormality occurrence in association with the cumulative total value.
