The invention discloses a test and diagnosis device for an
electric control system of a hydraulic
retarder. The test and diagnosis device comprises a central
processing module, a man-
machine interface module, an interface module, a
signal selection module and a CAN (controller
area network) communication module, wherein the
signal selection module is connected with the interface module, the CAN communication module and the central
processing module; the interface module and the CAN communication module are both connected with the central
processing module; the central processing module is connected with the man-
machine interface module; the
signal selection module is connected with
peripheral devices of a whole-vehicle
system and an electronic control device of the hydraulic
retarder; and the
peripheral devices of the whole-vehicle
system comprise a vehicle signal instruction device, a vehicle signal indication device, a
CAN bus, a
peripheral device executor, a peripheral device instruction device, a peripheral device indication device and a peripheral
device sensor. The test and diagnosis device can be used for manually or automatically testing the
electric control system of the hydraulic
retarder, and has the characteristics of accurate
data acquisition and calculation, small error, simplified operation and manpower saving.
