Abstract
A method and system for determining the performance characteristics of at least one selected vehicle component utilizes a plurality of variables and takes into account the interrelationship of those vehicles. Specifically, a detected temperature, load and road grade condition are utilized to determine a rate of change in a performance characteristic of a selected component relative to time. The rate of change information is provided to a vehicle operator on a real-time basis and stored in memory for later use by a service technician. Determining a performance characteristic based on a plurality of variables and storing information regarding that characteristic over time provides additional useful information to a service technician enabling the technician to more quickly and effectively diagnose potential problems with the vehicle components.
