A vehicle terminal self-diagnosis method and related device
By coordinating the in-vehicle central control unit and the central gateway, and combining local artificial intelligence models, the problems of high operational threshold, data privacy risks, and conflicts between multiple diagnostic sources in existing vehicle fault diagnosis solutions have been solved. This enables drivers to perform self-service fault diagnosis and intuitive fault explanations, thereby improving diagnostic efficiency and data security.

AI Technical Summary
Existing vehicle fault diagnosis solutions rely on external devices and network connections, which are difficult to operate, costly, inefficient, and pose a risk of data privacy leaks. They also lack intuitive fault explanations and multi-diagnostic source conflict management.
By coordinating the in-vehicle central control unit and the central gateway, and combining local artificial intelligence models, the system enables drivers to perform self-service fault diagnosis. The central gateway arbitration mechanism resolves conflicts between multiple diagnostic sources, and a local fault interpretation model is deployed to convert fault codes into natural language descriptions. Multiple report export methods are also provided.
It enables self-service fault diagnosis without the need for external devices and network connections, lowers the technical threshold, improves diagnostic efficiency, protects user data privacy, and provides intuitive fault explanations and multiple ways to obtain reports.
