Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a diagnostic system for a machine with a combustion engine and a variable geometry turbocharger that includes a vane position sensor. The diagnostic system includes a controller configured to calculate a learned span value of the turbocharger based on the output of the vane position sensor during a diagnostic procedure and a reference vane position sensor value. A plurality of learned span values are calculated each during a different one of a plurality of diagnostic procedures performed over a period of time and a first regression analysis to predict an expected learned span value at a defined future time using the calculated learned span value and the plurality of stored learned span values. An alert message is generated when the expected learned span value is indicative of a potential future fault of the turbocharger.

Abstract: A service diagnostic trouble code sequencer and method is disclosed that includes receiving multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), determining which DTCs to diagnose first, and recommending which DTC(s) to diagnose first. The sequencer can recommend a category of DTCs to diagnose first, where the category of DTCs includes one or more DTCs. The sequencer can prioritize the DTCs in the category of DTCs. The sequencer can separate the DTCs into multiple categories of DTCs, and prioritize the multiple categories of DTCs. The sequencer can prioritize the DTCs in an ordered category of the multiple categories of DTCs. The sequencer can receive the plurality of DTCs locally or remotely over a network. The sequencer can output the one or more DTCs to diagnose first locally or remotely over a network. The sequencer can be resident on the machine generating the DTCs.
