ABSTRACT:
A device for quickly and accurately testing an electronic vehicle engine control module having a simulated signal generator for supplying simulated or "dummy" input signals to the module under test. These simulated signals correspond to signals normally generated by peripheral automotive components such as mass air flow sensors, throttle position sensors, oxygen sensors, and the like, in proper working order. A simulation program controls the simulated signal generator and causes the simulated signal generator to generate predetermined signals appropriate to the design of the module and specific to the simulated operating conditions under which the module is being tested. The simulation program also contains acceptable ranges of output values (that should be produced by a property operating module) corresponding to the simulated operating conditions defined by the simulation program. An output signal reader receives the various output signals produced by the module under test (based upon the simulated signals fed to it) then conditions and organizes those output signals for analysis. An output evaluator receives the output signals gathered by the output signal reader and compares them to the acceptable ranges of output valves supplied by the simulation program. A diagnostic output means associated with the output evaluator displays to the repair technician any faults in the module detected by the output evaluator.
