Auto calibration and auto reset of vehicle components

1. A vehicle comprising an automotive component calibration and reset system, the system comprising:

one or more components of the vehicle;

a sensor associated with a component of the one or more components, the sensor being configured to detect a malfunction of the component and generate a signal indicative of the malfunction;

a user interface; and

a control unit configured to:

receive a signal from the sensor identifying at least one malfunctioning component of the one or more components of the vehicle;

automatically identify a diagnostic procedure for at least one malfunctioning component from a plurality of diagnostic procedures and initiate the identified diagnostic procedure;

determine whether a calibration or reset is procedurally indicated as part of the diagnostic procedure for the at least one malfunctioning component;

initiate an automatic calibration or reset of the at least one malfunctioning component;

initiate a test of the at least one malfunctioning component; and

recommend service options to a user if a result of the test indicates the at least one malfunctioning component continues to malfunction.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to interrogate the user using the user interface regarding one or more performance parameters relating to the at least one malfunctioning component.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the control unit is further configured to interrogate the user regarding the result of the test.

4. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein initiating the test involves a user input.

5. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the interrogation of the user involves a voice interface.

6. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the interrogation of the user involves a visual interface.

7. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the interrogation of the user involves a dashboard head unit.

8. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the interrogation of the user involves a portable device.

9. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one malfunctioning component comprises an electromechanical component.

10. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one malfunctioning component comprises an electronic component.

11. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one malfunctioning component comprises a software component.

12. A method for returning malfunctioning automotive components to working condition, the method comprising:

in a processor of a vehicle communicatively coupled to a sensor of the vehicle, detecting a status of at least one malfunctioning component of one or more vehicle components by receiving a signal from the sensor;

identifying a diagnostic procedure stored in a memory from a plurality of diagnostic procedures stored in the memory;

executing the identified diagnostic procedure from the memory for the at least one malfunctioning component;

determining whether a calibration or reset is indicated as a part of the identified diagnostic procedure for the at least one malfunctioning component;

initiating an automatic calibration or reset of the at least one malfunctioning component;

performing an automated test of the at least one malfunctioning component; and

if a result of the automated test indicates the at least one malfunctioning component continues to malfunction, recommending service options to a user.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving input from a user, the input selected from:

an input indicating that a component is malfunctioning;

one or more performance parameters relating to the at least one malfunctioning component; and

the result of the automated test.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the input from the user involves a voice interface or visual interface.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the input from the user involves a dashboard head unit or portable device.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one malfunctioning component comprises an electromechanical component, an electronic component, or a software component.

17. A vehicle accessory calibration and reset module comprising:

a sensor disposed within a vehicle, the sensor being associated with a vehicle component and configured to:

detect a malfunction of the vehicle component;

generate a signal indicative of the malfunction;

a control unit configured to:

receive the signal indicative of the malfunction;

automatically identify a diagnostic procedure for the vehicle component from a plurality of diagnostic procedures and initiate the identified diagnostic procedure;

determine whether a calibration or reset is indicated as part of the diagnostic procedure for the vehicle component;

initiate an automatic calibration or reset of the vehicle component;

initiate a test of the vehicle component; and

recommend service options to a user if a result of the test indicates a malfunction status of the vehicle component.

18. The vehicle accessory calibration and reset module of claim 17 , wherein the control unit is further configured to receive input from the user selected from:

the malfunction status of the vehicle component;

one or more performance parameters relating to the vehicle component; and

the result of the test.

19. The vehicle accessory calibration and reset module of claim 18 , wherein the input from the user involves a vehicle head unit or portable device comprising a visual interface or voice interface.

20. The vehicle accessory calibration and reset module of claim 17 , wherein the vehicle component comprises an electromechanical component, an electronic component, or a software component.
