Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to a method for diagnosing a leak related problem for a vehicle. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, the method comprises receiving, from a purchaser of a vehicle, a complaint about an operational performance of the vehicle, the vehicle having an abnormal leak; retrieving, in response to the complaint and based on a vehicle identifier identifying the vehicle, a set of data correlated with the vehicle identifier, the set of data defining a plurality of values indicative of an amount of acoustic energy sensed outside of the vehicle during a test performed on the vehicle prior to a sale of the vehicle to the purchaser, the acoustic energy emitted from at least one transducer disposed within the vehicle; analyzing the set of data retrieved in the retrieving step; and diagnosing an operational problem of the vehicle based on the analyzing step and the complaint.

Abstract: A system for reporting information indicative of sealing characteristics of vehicles comprises memory and logic. The memory stores data defining a plurality of values, and each of the values indicates an amount of sensed energy within a specified frequency range escaping from a region of a vehicle under test. The logic is configured to display a vehicle image having a plurality of segmented regions, and each of the segmented regions corresponds to a respective region of the vehicle. The logic is configured to display within each of the segmented regions, based on a respective one of the values, a respective indication indicating an amount of the energy within the specified frequency range escaping from the corresponding region of the vehicle.
