DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMANCE CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a first fault message transmitted from a first vehicle, the first fault message providing data to indicate an unsuccessful performance of a first diagnostic test in the first vehicle and one or more vehicle operating conditions during the unsuccessful performance of the first diagnostic test in the first vehicle;
determining, from the one or more vehicle operating conditions, one or more required conditions for an expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test; and
generating a first performance message, the first performance message providing data to indicate the one or more required conditions for the expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test.

Abstract
A cloud-based server is communicatively coupled to vehicle computing devices and is programmed to receive a first fault message transmitted from a first vehicle, the first fault message providing data to indicate an unsuccessful performance of a first diagnostic test, such as an onboard diagnostic (OBD) test, in the first vehicle and one or more vehicle operating conditions during the unsuccessful performance of the first diagnostic test in the first vehicle. The server is further programmed to determine, from the one or more vehicle operating conditions, one or more required conditions for an expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test and generate a first performance message to communicate the one or more required conditions for the expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test.

7. A method comprising:
-
determining that current vehicle operating conditions of a vehicle meet stored entry conditions for initializing a first diagnostic test, the first diagnostic test having a first duration; determining expected vehicle operating conditions of the vehicle for the first duration; querying a remote computing device for a first performance message; receiving the first performance message, the first performance message providing data to indicate one or more required conditions for an expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test; comparing the expected vehicle operating conditions of the vehicle for the first duration to the one or more required conditions from the first performance message; and determining, based on the comparison, whether to perform the first diagnostic test. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system, comprising:
-
a computer comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to; receive a first fault message transmitted from a first vehicle, the first fault message providing data to indicate an unsuccessful performance of a first diagnostic test and one or more vehicle operating conditions during the unsuccessful performance of the first diagnostic test; determine, from the one or more vehicle operating conditions, one or more required conditions for an expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test; and generating a first performance message, the first performance message providing data to indicate the one or more required conditions for the expected successful performance of the first diagnostic test. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
