In this paper, the authors will present the state of the art about product and process assessment for remanufacturing of computer controlled automotive components (mechatronics) - by giving an insight into their current research activities in the area, including theoretical analyses, field studies in the car electronic remanufacturing industry, contract research for professional car mechatronic remanufacturers, experimental work in the laboratories of the Chair of Manufacturing and Remanufacturing Technology at the University of Bayreuth. A high amount of mechatronic systems is built in today's vehicles In the future more and more mechatronic systems will be introduced to increase the comfort and the safety and to reduce the fuel consumption and the emissions. Failed mechatronic systems have to be exchanged completely, because garages most of have no chance to fix the upcoming failures. That system causes enormous costs for the users and high turnovers for the OEM's and OES's. Remanufactunng of mechatronics offer equal quality products by moderate prices and furthermore helps to protect our environment. The challenging part in remanufacturing mechatronics is the adapted process chain and the new technologies which have to be used. The paper shows the methods for system entry diagnosis and possible diagnosis techniques for electronic control units. Furthermore the possibilities of system reprogramming during remanufactunng are mentioned. With that new technologies remanufacturing will go on growing with two digit rates including the car mechatronic sector.
