The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

At present, electronic diagnosis technology has been widely used in traditional automobile maintenance, but there are still some problems in the application of new energy vehicle maintenance, such as: the electronic control system and electric drive system of new energy vehicles are more complex than traditional vehicles, and require more advanced diagnostic technology; Components such as battery packs and charging systems also have some special faults that require special diagnostic methods. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles to improve maintenance efficiency and quality.

The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

Fault diagnosis is an important part of the maintenance of new energy vehicles, and it is also one of the main applications of electronic diagnosis technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles. At present, there are two main diagnostic methods for the fault of electronic control systems of new energy vehicles: traditional troubleshooting methods and electronic diagnosis techniques.

The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

Electronic diagnosis technology has a wide range of applications in the fault diagnosis of new energy vehicle battery management system, mainly including the following aspects:

Fault code diagnosis

When the battery management system of a new energy vehicle fails, the system will generate a corresponding fault code, and the fault type and specific location can be understood by reading the fault code. Electronic diagnostic technology can quickly and accurately read fault codes, and repair them accordingly according to the fault type corresponding to the fault code.

The motor control system of new energy vehicles is the key system to control the operation of the motor, and its failure will lead to problems such as the inability of the vehicle to start, difficulty in acceleration, and energy loss. Electronic diagnosis technology also plays an important role in the fault diagnosis of new energy vehicle motor control system.

First, electronic diagnostic technology can help technicians quickly locate problems by performing self-tests on the motor controller and obtaining the fault code of the motor control system. You can also read the data of the sensor and analyze the speed, voltage, current and other parameters of the motor to determine whether the motor is working normally. Conduct component testing, including testing motor controllers, sensors, wiring, etc., to further determine the cause of failure.

The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

1. In the fault diagnosis of powertrain system, it is mainly used in the following aspects:

Motor fault diagnosis: The running status, circuit and control signal of the motor are monitored and analyzed by the on-board diagnostic instrument, and the fault type and location of the motor are quickly and accurately detected, providing a scientific basis for maintenance.

2. Maintenance

In addition to fault diagnosis, electronic diagnosis technology also plays an important role in the maintenance of new energy vehicles. Since new energy vehicles use different power systems from traditional fuel vehicles, there are also certain differences in their maintenance.

Electronic diagnosis technology can provide a scientific basis for vehicle maintenance by monitoring key parameters such as battery status and motor operation status of new energy vehicles. For example, the battery life of new energy vehicles is an important factor affecting their performance and cruising range, and real-time monitoring and evaluation of battery status through electronic diagnosis technology can detect abnormal conditions of the battery in time and maintain the battery, thereby extending its service life.

It can also provide guidance for vehicle maintenance by analyzing and evaluating the operating data of new energy vehicles. For example, through electronic diagnostic technology to monitor and analyze data such as vehicle energy consumption and mileage, it is possible to evaluate the use of the vehicle, formulate a reasonable maintenance plan, and avoid some potential failures and problems.

Remote monitoring and maintenance of new energy vehicles to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. For example, through remote diagnosis technology, the battery status of the vehicle, motor control system, etc. can be remotely monitored and diagnosed, and problems can be found and dealt with in time, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for vehicle maintenance.

Case: Application of electronic diagnosis technology in fault diagnosis of motor control system of new energy vehicles

Taking the failure of the motor control system of a pure electric vehicle as an example, the application of electronic diagnosis technology in the fault diagnosis of the motor control system of new energy vehicles is introduced. The vehicle malfunction is characterized by a decrease in power during acceleration and a speed that cannot exceed 30km/h.

The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

2.1 Electronic diagnostic process

In troubleshooting, a system fault code reading is first required. Through the OBD-II diagnostic interface, the fault code of the vehicle control system can be read directly, but the fault code corresponding to different fault codes is not necessarily the same. Therefore, further analysis is required in combination with specific fault manifestations and inspection results.

The application of electronic diagnostic technology in the maintenance of new energy vehicles

In this case, since the fault manifests itself as a decrease in power during acceleration, the speed cannot exceed 30km/h, so the motor and its control system need to be checked first. For motor control systems, the following steps can be used for electronic diagnostics:

Use diagnostic instruments to read fault codes of vehicle control systems;

Analyze the read fault code, and determine the possible fault points based on the actual situation of the vehicle;

Based on the judgment results, the vehicle is inspected to find the fault point.

2.2 Troubleshooting process

In this case, the fault code is displayed as "P1B00", which is a generic motor control system fault code. Based on this, we conducted the following troubleshooting:

First check the operation of the motor controller. Use diagnostic instruments to check whether the signals of each port of the motor controller are normal and check whether the motor controller is faulty;

Check the working condition of the motor: read the speed signal of the motor to determine whether the motor is working normally;

Check the vehicle's transmission system: read the vehicle's speed signal and wheel speed signal to determine whether the vehicle's transmission system is faulty;

Check the vehicle's power system: Read the vehicle's battery voltage, current and temperature data to determine whether the vehicle's power system is faulty.

Through the above troubleshooting process, it was finally determined that the fault point of the vehicle was that the power circuit of the motor controller was faulty, resulting in the motor not working normally.

2.3 Fault Resolution

After the point of failure has been identified, repair or replacement is required for that point of failure. According to the experimental results, the following fault solutions are proposed:

Replace the motor control module: If the motor control module fails, the entire control module needs to be replaced to ensure that the entire system is running normally.

Replace the motor: If the motor is seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, the entire motor needs to be replaced to ensure that the system can operate normally.

Replace the sensor: If the fault is caused by sensor damage, the entire sensor needs to be replaced to ensure that the system can accurately sense the motor state.

Make sure the wiring is good: If the fault is caused by poor wiring, you need to re-check whether the wiring is connected correctly to ensure that the connection is firm and reliable.

In summary, electronic diagnosis technology has high application value in the fault diagnosis of motor control system of new energy vehicles, which can accurately and quickly locate fault points, improve maintenance efficiency and accuracy, and provide a strong guarantee for the safe and stable operation of new energy vehicles.
