    摘要: A diagnostic system for a vehicle electrical system is provided. The diagnostic system includes a microcontroller having microcontroller core components. A first diagnostic handler application sends a first index value to the microcontroller core component diagnostic safety application. The microcontroller core component diagnostic safety application accesses a microcontroller core component diagnostic flag in a first table in the RAM if the first index value is equal to a valid index value in a first table. The microcontroller core component diagnostic safety application sends the microcontroller core component diagnostic flag to the first diagnostic handler application

    摘要: A self-diagnosing microcontroller includes a microprocessor having first and second applications, and a hardware abstraction layer. The microprocessor is operably coupled to an analog-to-digital converter. The hardware abstraction layer sequentially sets a first pre-check indicator to a first fault value for each encoded channel number of a second plurality of encoded channel numbers that does not have an identical and corresponding encoded channel number in a first plurality of encoded channel numbers indicating an incorrect channel was read from the analog-to-digital converter, and sends the first pre-check indicator to the first application.

    摘要: A diagnostic system having first and second applications is provided. The first application multiplies a first voltage value associated with a voltage regulator by a first correction value to obtain a first corrected voltage value. The first application receives a second corrected voltage value from the second application. The first application sets a first voltage regulator status flag equal to a first fault value when a difference between the first and second corrected voltage values is greater than a threshold difference value. The first diagnostic handler application generates control signals if the first voltage regulator status flag is equal to the first fault value.

    摘要: A voltage monitoring system having a microcontroller with an analog-to-digital converter with a first channel, and a memory device is provided. The microcontroller includes a monitoring application and a hardware abstraction layer. The monitoring application sends a first encoded channel number to the hardware abstraction layer. The hardware abstraction layer determines a first channel number based on the first encoded channel number, and obtains a measured voltage value associated with the first channel number. The hardware abstraction layer sends a second encoded channel number and the measured voltage value therein to the monitoring application. If the first encoded channel number is equal to the second encoded channel number, then the monitoring application stores the measured voltage value in the memory device.

    摘要: A diagnostic system is provided. A first monitoring application sets a first voltage regulator status flag equal to a first fault value when a first voltage value is greater than a first maximum voltage value. A first diagnostic handler application transitions each of a high voltage switch and a low voltage switch to an open operational state when the first voltage regulator status flag is equal to the first fault value. A second monitoring application sets a second voltage regulator status flag equal to a second fault value when the second voltage value is less than a first minimum voltage value. A second diagnostic handler application transitions the high voltage switch and the low voltage switch to the open operational state when the second voltage regulator status flag is equal to the second fault value.

    摘要: A diagnostic system for a DC-DC voltage converter having a low voltage bi-directional MOSFET switch is provided. The low voltage bi-directional MOSFET switch has first and second nodes. The microcontroller samples a first voltage at the first node at a first sampling rate utilizing a first common channel in a first bank of channels to obtain a first predetermined number of voltage samples. The microcontroller determines a first number of voltage samples in the first predetermined number of voltage samples in which the first voltage is less than a first threshold voltage. The microcontroller sets a first voltage diagnostic flag equal to a first fault value if the first number of voltage samples is greater than a first threshold number of voltage samples indicating a voltage out of range low fault condition for the analog-to-digital converter.
