ABSTRACT:
A method of monitoring sounds of a driveline includes detecting a sound from a driveline, comparing the detected sound with-a predicted sound of the driveline, and, when the detected sound differs from the predicted sound of the driveline, sending a warning signal that the driveline may be experiencing a problem. The method of monitoring the sounds of a driveline is used to determine the physical condition of the driveline. The present invention allows the driver to check the physical condition of a driveline while operating the vehicle. A sound detector detects sounds from a driveline and send sound signals to a control which receives the sound signals, performs computations based on the detected sounds, and compares the computations with predicted sounds of the driveline. The control sends warning signals to a display, when the detected sounds differ from the predicted sounds.
