The automotive industry has seen enormous growth in the size and complexity of electrical and electronic system architectures. As complexity increases the problem of diagnosing faults in a vehicle's electrical and electronic systems is becoming increasingly difficult. Many faults are as a result of system-level disturbances or interactions that are difficult to interpret and diagnose using existing component-level diagnostics which have been traditionally focused on mechanical system diagnostics. The problem of rising complexity is exacerbated by increasing in-service warranty periods with some automotive OEMs now offering 5 or 7 year, or even `life-time' warranties. This paper discusses the need for a new system-level approach to the management of faults in a vehicle's networked electronic systems and how this might be achieved by using the data that flows over a vehicle's data networks. This paper compares different industry approaches to system-level health monitoring of complex distributed computing environments and presents a proposal for the application of health monitoring to an automotive electrical and electronic architecture.
