Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method and a device for wear diagnosis of a motor vehicle, driving events and driving conditions occurring during driving operation are detected, the detected driving events and driving conditions are assigned in each case a wear index value using a table which is stored in a memory of the motor vehicle and which adds up the wear index values assigned to the detected driving events and driving conditions in order to form a total wear index value, and the determined total wear index value is compared with a reference total wear index value derived from a stored characteristic curve.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for wear diagnosis of a motor vehicle, comprising: detecting driving events and driving conditions occurring during the driving operation of the motor vehicle, assigning each of the detected driving events and driving conditions to a wear index value using a table which is stored in a memory of the motor vehicle, adding the wear index values assigned to the detected driving events and driving conditions to calculate a total wear index value, and…
