METHOD OF DIAGNOSING MALFUNCTION OF OBD CONTROLLER SYSTEM OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101051 titled 'METHOD OF DIAGNOSING MALFUNCTION OF OBD CONTROLLER SYSTEM OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for diagnosing a malfunction in an on-board diagnostic (OBD) controller system by comparing voltages of different components within the system.

  • An on-board diagnostic (OBD) controller system is used in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).
  • The OBD controller is connected to the vehicle's battery through a communication line.
  • A malfunction in the system is diagnosed by comparing the voltage of an input part of the OBD controller with the voltage of the battery.
  • If the input voltage measuring circuit or the controller itself is malfunctioning, the issue is identified.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for diagnosing malfunctions in OBD controller systems in hybrid electric vehicles.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in quickly identifying malfunctions in the OBD controller system, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance to ensure the vehicle operates efficiently.

Benefits

- Improved diagnostic capabilities for OBD controller systems - Enhanced reliability and performance of hybrid electric vehicles

Potential Commercial Applications

"Diagnosing Malfunctions in OBD Controller Systems in Hybrid Electric Vehicles"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar methods for diagnosing malfunctions in vehicle systems using voltage comparisons, but specific applications to OBD controller systems in HEVs may be novel.

What is the impact of this technology on vehicle maintenance costs?

This technology can potentially reduce vehicle maintenance costs by enabling quick and accurate diagnosis of malfunctions in the OBD controller system, preventing further damage and costly repairs.

How does this innovation contribute to environmental sustainability?

By ensuring the efficient operation of hybrid electric vehicles through timely diagnosis and repair of malfunctions, this technology helps reduce emissions and overall environmental impact associated with vehicle use.


Original Abstract Submitted

a malfunction of an on-board diagnostic (obd) controller system is diagnosed by comparing a voltage of an input part of an obd controller with a voltage of a battery. the obd controller is connected to the battery through a communication line in the hev. when an input voltage measuring circuit or the controller is malfunctioning, the malfunction is diagnosed.
