Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of automobile lamps, and particularly relates to a device and method for diagnosing faults of an automobile lamp system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of new technologies of automobile lamps, more and more new functions of lamps are applied to automobiles, the number of circuit connections of lamps with vehicle body controllers and other related parts is increasing, and the frequency of faults of lamp systems is also increasing.

[0003] Conventional automobile lamp systems, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, include a lamp starting switch 8, a vehicle harness A 7, a vehicle body controller 6, a vehicle harness B 5, and a lamp assembly 4. When a lamp system has a functional fault, the following methods are generally used for diagnosis:

[0004] Method 1: The positive and negative polarities of the harness corresponding to the lamp system circuit with a functional fault are stripped to expose the conductive wire, and a multimeter is externally connected to perform simple diagnosis through circuit signals. This method destroys the integrity of the harness, easily leading to problems such as short circuit and open circuit in the later stage, and has been prohibited in most automobile factory pre-sale and post-sale automobile lamp fault diagnosis. At the same time, for lamps arranged in the back door, engine compartment and other parts, due to the reasons such as the arrangement position being too biased or no operation space, the operation difficulty is extremely great. In addition, the multimeter can only perform simple diagnosis and cannot collect and output signals, making it difficult to perform detailed diagnosis analysis and guide problem rectification, and non-constant signals (such as PWM wave signals) cannot be normally displayed, so the lamp system functional fault of non-constant signals cannot be diagnosed.

[0005] Method 2: Without damaging the original vehicle parts, the lamp system parts are disassembled, and diagnosis and analysis are performed according to the diagnosis standards of each part. This method greatly increases the diagnosis cycle and reduces the rectification efficiency, and at the same time, since the diagnosis and analysis are not performed on the original vehicle, there are problems such as the fault cannot be reproduced.

[0006] In the prior art, patent document CN208766928U discloses an automobile light circuit detection connector, which comprises a fault setting device, a headlight switch harness connector, and a fault detection seat. When in use, the fault is set by the fault setting device, the circuit is simulated to be open, and the circuit signal change before and after the open is detected by the fault detection seat. The automobile light circuit detection connector is applied to teaching and training, only a simple simulation of the circuit fault of "open" is performed, other fault modes of the actual vehicle cannot be diagnosed and analyzed, and at the same time, the automobile light circuit detection connector ignores the fault of the vehicle body controller, the vehicle harness and other parts, and cannot perform systematic and scientific diagnosis and analysis on the entire automobile lamp system.
