Evolution of automotive diagnostic technologies

Overview

Automotive technology is increasingly defined by complex electronic systems and the need for advanced diagnostic capabilities. Initially, focus was placed on the role of diagnostic scans in monitoring vehicle health through sensors and Engine Control Units (ECUs). These scans, including pre-repair and post-repair procedures, are essential for identifying diagnostic trouble codes related to critical components like airbags, cameras, and braking systems.

As the industry shifts toward electromobility, diagnostic requirements are evolving to address the complexities of electric vehicle batteries. To meet these needs, new technologies such as the AIR non-destructive X-ray inspection method have been developed. This system allows for the examination of battery packs without disassembly, identifying mechanical issues like displaced or swollen cells to complement existing electrical State of Health assessments.
