(57) A satellite communication system (20) communicates a vehicle (22) to a number of
entities (26,28,30). As examples, the communication system will communicate diagnostic
information from the vehicle to manufacturers, including the vehicle manufacturer
(28), component manufacturers (30), and the vehicle owner (26). The diagnostic information
could include, as an example only, information from an accelerometer with regard to
the vehicle (22) having traveled over large bumps. If this information is communicated
to an axle manufacturer, the axle manufacturer can use the information to question
warranty returns on the particular vehicle. Further, the entities (26,28,30) can communicate
with the vehicle (22) to upload computer information.
