  • Patent number: 11964582
    Abstract: A system for diagnosing an in-cable control box (ICCB) is installed in a vehicle, electrically connected, at one side thereof, to a low-speed charging cable having the ICCB, electrically connected, at another side thereof, to an on-board diagnostics (OBD) device, and is configured to diagnose the ICCB. The system includes a Control Pilot (CP) data conversion unit configured to receive charging situation data produced from the ICCB; a Controller Area Network (CAN) communication unit configured to receive diagnosis initiating data for the ICCB produced from the OBD device; and a control unit configured to receive the charging situation data from the CP data conversion unit, convert the charging situation data into data recognizable by the OBD device, receive the diagnosis initiating data from the CAN communication unit, and convert the diagnosis initiating data into data recognizable by the ICCB.

  • Patent number: 11914001
    Abstract: A power control device configured for diagnosing an open-circuit fault occurring in a power system of an autonomous vehicle and an open-circuit diagnosis method thereof, may include a power control switch that selectively connects or separates main power output from the first power supply and auxiliary power output from the second power supply, and a processor that determines a possibility of an open-circuit fault of a vehicle power source based on a current flowing through the power control switch and determines whether it is possible to drive an electric load with an output power of the second power supply alone and determine an open-circuit position based on an output of the first power supply when there is the possibility of the open-circuit fault.
