1. An apparatus for determining a maintenance issue, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing device configured to;
obtain an audio signal and analyze the audio signal to generate an audio signature;
identify a characteristic of a component of a vehicle based on the audio signature;
store a current location of the vehicle in a history of locations in response to determining that the current location of the vehicle is different from a past location of the vehicle, stored in the history of locations, by more than a predefined threshold; and
determine an action based on the history of locations of the vehicle that include the past location and the current location, the history of the locations affecting the characteristic of the component of the vehicle prior to a performance of the action.
