1. A method for carrying out a remote diagnosis in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- initializing a remote diagnosis;
determining diagnostic data in the vehicle as a function of at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters available in the vehicle at the time of the determination; and
transferring at least a portion of the diagnostic data to an external service center which is configured to evaluate the transferred diagnostic data;
wherein the at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters include test parameters for checking individual components in at least one of a closed-loop and an open-loop control device of the vehicle, the test parameters being transferred from the service center to the vehicle upon the initializing of the remote diagnosis.

Abstract
A method for carrying out a remote diagnosis in a motor vehicle is provided, including initializing the remote diagnosis, determining diagnostic data in the vehicle as a function of diagnostic mechanisms and/or diagnostic parameters available in the vehicle at the time of the diagnostic data determination, and transferring at least portions of the diagnostic data to an external service center which is designed to evaluate the transmitted diagnostic data. The diagnostic mechanisms and/or diagnostic parameters may be at least in part transferred from the service center to the vehicle upon execution of initialization.

8. A vehicle diagnostic module for use in carrying out a remote diagnosis in a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
an interface for receiving at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters at least in part from an external service center upon initialization of the remote diagnosis, wherein the at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters include test parameters for checking individual components in at least one of a closed-loop and an open-loop control device of the vehicle, the test parameters being transferred from the service center to the vehicle upon the initialization of the remote diagnosis; and a processing unit, which, after initialization of the remote diagnosis, is configured to determine diagnostic data as a function of the at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters available in the vehicle at a time of diagnostic data determination; wherein the determined diagnostic data are transferred at least in part to the external service center for evaluation. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A service center configured to evaluate diagnostic data received from a vehicle via a radio connection for performing a remote diagnosis, comprising:
-
an arrangement for determining, on the basis of vehicle identification data received from the vehicle, at least one of suitable diagnostic mechanisms and suitable diagnostic parameters; and a radio connection for transmitting the at least one of suitable diagnostic mechanisms and suitable diagnostic parameters to the vehicle; wherein the at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters include test parameters for checking individual components in at least one of a closed-loop and an open-loop control device of the vehicle, the test parameters being transferred from the service center to the vehicle upon initialization of the remote diagnosis; and wherein the at least one of diagnostic mechanisms and diagnostic parameters are used in the vehicle for determination of the diagnostic data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
