Abstract
Upon crank-up of a newly manufactured vehicle, a TCU seeks a GPS. The TCU queries an equipment information table in a memory and determines if the table is empty. If the table is empty and the TCU detects a GPS signal, the TCU requests equipment information from modules installed in the vehicle, including an ECM, a PCM, a TCM, and other various modules typically installed in vehicles. The information typically includes a module name or type, a module's serial number, version of current software, and for some modules, the VIN of the vehicle. The TCU automatically associates the module equipment information with the VIN gleaned from one of the modules, automatically forms a message with the equipment information including the VIN, and then automatically transmits the message to a telematics services provider's centrally located server. The server automatically associates equipment information, TCU identifier, and subscriber identity information with the VIN.
