Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present relates to a system of diagnosis of an engine control module. The more particularly present invention relates to a system of diagnosis of an engine control module with a unified connector that helps in the interoperability of the system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The control and management of automotive engines have become increasingly complex due to the integration of electronic systems and sophisticated sensors. The ECM plays a crucial role in monitoring and regulating various engine functions, including fuel injection, ignition timing, and emission control. However, diagnosing and troubleshooting issues with the ECM can be challenging and time-consuming for technicians. Existing diagnostic devices on the market often lack the necessary capabilities to communicate with the ECM efficiently and accurately. They may have limited compatibility with different vehicle makes and models or lack the ability to retrieve detailed diagnostic information. Consequently, technicians may struggle to identify the root causes of engine malfunctions and may resort to trial-and-error methods, leading to increased repair times and costs. The ECMs are connected to the simulator, which simulates the environment, including the interacting components, and inserts specific faults for testing purposes. But the main requirement is that there must be a specific connecting cable to the ECM to test it, that is a limitation in the existing systems.

• the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102) is connected to the at least one engine control module(114) through the channel relay module(106) with help of the unified connector cable(110);
• the single board computer(104) of the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102) executes computer-readable instructions for communication with the at least one engine control module(114);
• the at least one user device(108) is wirelessly connected to the single board computer(104) of the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102);
• the user logged into the at least one user device(108) and goes to the home screen display of the at least one user device(108);
• the user selects the car model on the home screen display of the at least one user device(108);
• the at least one user device(108) gets the PIN file data for at least one engine control module(114) based on the car model;
• the at least one user device(108) sends the PIN file data and control commands to the single board computer(104) of the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102);
• the single board computer(104) simulates the environment, including the interacting components, and inserts specific faults into the at least one engine control module(114) for testing purposes;
• the single board computer(104) of the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102) collects simulation data from the at least one engine control module(114); and
• the single board computer(104) of the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102) sends simulation data to the at least one user device(108) that is displayed on the home screen display of the at least one user device(108);
characterized in that a single unified connector cable(110) is able to be connected with all different types of the at least one engine control module(114), thus unified connector cable(110) helps the at least one engine control module diagnostics kit(102) to maintain interoperability with all different types of to the at least one engine control module(114),
Characterized in that, the unified connector cable(110) is designed in a way that for the at least one engine control module(114) vendor, the unified connector cable(110) remains the same for all the at least one engine control module(114) manufactured by that vendor and that is made possible with the help of programming of the at least one engine control module(114) PINs by multiplexing the inputs and outputs.
