First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a faulty component in a system having a plurality of interacting components, comprising:
- generating, by a plurality of diagnosis devices, a plurality of lists of potentially faulty components using a corresponding plurality of different diagnosis algorithms implemented independently of each other;
assigning, for each potentially faulty component, an error value corresponding to a probability of a defective function of each potentially faulty component as a function of a symptom;
for at least one set of components of the system, linking, by an evaluation device, the error values to form an error score value for each potentially faulty component as a function of the plurality of lists;
assigning a respective error score value to each potentially faulty component; and
determining the faulty component based on the respective error score value assigned to each potentially faulty component.

Abstract
In a method for determining faulty components in a system having a plurality of interacting components, lists of potentially faulty components are prepared as a function of different diagnosis algorithms implemented independently of each other, and an error value is assigned to each potentially faulty component. The error values for at least one selection of components of the system are linked to form an error score value for a particular potentially faulty component.
