Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This Application claims rights under 35 USC §119(e) from U.S. Application Ser. No. 61 / 154,588 filed Feb. 23, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to embedded vehicle diagnostic systems and more particularly to interface units supporting embedded diagnostics for existing analog diagnostic connector assemblies.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In the past, diagnostic connector assemblies (DCAs) have been built into legacy military vehicles typically for associated analog sensor measurements from the engine or transmission. These diagnostic connectors were used in conjunction with specialized test equipment, in which the test equipment was typically brought out to a vehicle after a problem was encountered. When not in use, the diagnostic connector assembly is protected by a dust cover. This concept of operation does not provide constant, real time monitoring because the test e...
