Method for indicating a faulty strut and vehicle using same

Abstract Operating a vehicle (10) with a faulty strut (16) can cause serious consequences. The present disclosure includes a method of detecting a fault 5 within a strut (16) during operation of a vehicle (10). Pressure within the strut (16) is sensed, and a magnitude of asymmetry within a plurality...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Operating a vehicle (10) with a faulty strut (16) can cause serious consequences. The present disclosure includes a method of detecting a fault 5 within a strut (16) during operation of a vehicle (10). Pressure within the strut (16) is sensed, and a magnitude of asymmetry within a plurality of the sensed pressures is determined. A faulty strut (16) (e.g. overcharged or collapsed) is indicated when the magnitude of asymmetry is outside of a predetermined range of asymmetry. ceJ-4
