POTENTIAL CHASSIS DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A potential chassis damage notification system for a vehicle comprising:
- a sensor connected to the vehicle capable of providing data; and
a controller capable of receiving the data, comparing the data to a potential-damage range, and sending a potential-chassis-damage signal if the data is within the potential-damage range.

Abstract
A system for monitoring components within a vehicle to determine if chassis damage may have occurred. The system has a controller which receives data from at least one sensor connected to a component on the vehicle and compares the data to a threshold value or potential-damage range of values. If the data is above the threshold value, or within the potential-damage range, the controller sends a potential-chassis-damage notification signal. The signal may be sent to an instrument panel giving a service chassis indication, stored in an on-board storage device to be accessed later, or sent outside of the vehicle to a remote receiver.
