Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1530168A2] An apparatus for remote diagnosis of motor vehicles comprising a connecting interface (10) for a connection to a control box (20) of a motor vehicle (21) and a local computer (30) connected to the interface (10) to receive from the control box (20), at least one main signal incorporating a main parameter (301) representative of an operating condition of the motor vehicle (21) and to generate a corresponding auxiliary signal (310) incorporating the main parameter (301); the apparatus (1) further comprises a remote computer (40) provided with receiving means (41) to receive the auxiliary signal (310) from the local computer (30) and a memory (50) for storage of a plurality of reference parameters (51), each associated with a corresponding response parameter (52) representative of an intervention to be carried out on the motor vehicle (21). The remote computer is also provided with a comparing block (60) to compare the main parameter (310) with the reference parameters (51), and with transmitting means (70) to send, depending on said comparison, a response signal (320) incorporating the response parameter (52) to the local computer (30).
