ABSTRACT:
A method for determining installed electronic devices on a truck and for providing a centralized reset to clear faults in the installed electronics. An instrumentation control unit in the cab of a truck determines installed electronics by requesting electronics on a shared data link to transmit data on the data link. The control unit identifies the installed devices from the transmitted data. Data describing the installed devices including manufacturer, model, and installed software can be obtained and displayed for diagnostic purposes. The instrumentation control unit provides a centralized reset for resetting the electronic devices on the data link.
