METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING A COMPONENT WITHIN A VEHICLE FOR MAINTENANCE

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide method and system for determ ining whether to effect maintenance of a vehicle component. In one embodimen t, the method includes transmitting an RFID read signal to an RFID device as sociated with at least one component of a vehicle and receiving at least one RFID response signal from the RFID device. The at least one RFID response s ignal includes an identifier associated with the at least one component and a sensed value of a parameter associated with the at least one component. Th en, by processing the sensed value, it can be determined whether to effect m aintenance of the at least one component. In some embodiments, the sensed va lue is generated by a sensor coupled to the RFID device. In other embodiment s, the sensor is located adjacent to an expected location of the at least on e component. In yet other embodiments, a location indication is utilized to determine whether to effect maintenance of the at least one component.
