  • Diagnostic and control method for a vehicle system
    Patent number: 12017639
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling and diagnosing a mechanical vehicle component. In one example, a method may include determining a vehicle speed and a plurality of clutch position settings at a diagnostic controller, and identifying unauthorized conditions based on these determinations. Further, the diagnostic controller may trigger an active fault state of the mechanical vehicle component in order to avoid unauthorized conditions that may lead to unwanted or unanticipated changes in vehicle motion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 2022
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2024
    Assignee: DANA BELGIUM N.V.
    Inventors: Peter Deckmyn, Bjorn Aelvoet, Brecht Fevery
  • DIAGNOSTIC AND CONTROL METHOD FOR A VEHICLE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230347873
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling and diagnosing a mechanical vehicle component. In one example, a method may include determining an input device state and an electric machine torque at a diagnostic controller, and identifying a fault condition based on these determinations. Further, the diagnostic controller may trigger an active fault state of the mechanical vehicle component to avoid unintended vehicle acceleration, particularly at low speeds.
