ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring spinout conditions in a heavy vehicle driveline provides the ability to monitor the manner in which a driver operates a vehicle. For example, spin out conditions that occur with greater frequency than is normally expected indicates an inappropriate manner of operating the vehicle. Similarly, spinouts that have relatively excessive duration indicate inappropriate vehicle operation. The system includes a sensor device for detecting a spinout condition and a detector for detecting whether a differential lock has been engaged by the vehicle operator. An electronic controller gathers information from the sensor device and the detector and records information regarding each spinout including the frequency and duration. This information is then later provided to a service technician to determine whether the vehicle warranty provisions have been violated.
