Abstract
A steering application executing on a vehicle control module receives a steering control input to control a steered wheel of a vehicle. Based on the steering control input, the steering application determines a traction threshold value associated with a traction control attribute related to a traction wheel of the vehicle. A first diagnostic supervisor executing on the vehicle control module receives a measured value of the traction control attribute and the traction threshold value. When the measured value of the traction control attribute exceeds the traction threshold value, the first diagnostic supervisor repeatedly calculates a respective difference between the traction threshold value and the measured value of the traction control attribute to generate a set comprising a plurality of the respective differences. Based on the plurality of respective differences, the first diagnostic supervisor determines a first operating condition of a traction system of the vehicle.
