Electronic control module wake monitor
A vehicle includes a controller powered by a controller power source independent from a vehicle power supply, programmed to responsive to detecting an in-vehicle network wakeup initiated by an electronic controller unit (ECU) requesting to communicate during a vehicle OFF state, record an ECU communication via the in-vehicle network; and responsive to detecting a vehicle ON state, send the recorded ECU communication to a server.
1. A vehicle, comprising:
a controller powered by a controller power source independent from a vehicle power supply, programmed to
responsive to detecting an in-vehicle network enters into a sleep mode, monitor activities of the in-vehicle network,
responsive to detecting an in-vehicle network wakeup when the vehicle is in an OFF state, identify the in-vehicle network wakeup is initiated by a first electronic controller unit (ECU) requesting to communicate with a second ECU via the in-vehicle network during a vehicle OFF state, flag the first ECU to be a source of the in-vehicle network wakeup, and record an ECU communication associated with the first ECU via the in-vehicle network, and
responsive to detecting a vehicle ON state, send the recorded ECU communication to a server.
2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters ON state, deactivate monitoring to the in- vehicle network.
3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to send the recorded ECU communication via a telematic control unit (TCU).
4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the recorded ECU communication include at least one of: an identity of first ECU causing the wakeup, an identity of the second ECU involved in communication via the in-vehicle network during the in-vehicle network wakeup.
5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further programmed to
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters ON state, recharge the controller power source using power from the vehicle power supply.
6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the in-vehicle network includes at least one of: a controller area network (CAN), an Ethernet network, or a media-oriented system transport (MOST).
7. A vehicle system, comprising:
one or more controllers, programmed to
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters an OFF state, activate a wake monitor connected to an in-vehicle network to monitor for activities;
responsive to detecting, while the vehicle is in the OFF state, the in-vehicle network switches from a sleep mode into a wakeup mode initiated from an electronic controller unit (ECU) requesting to communicate, record an ECU communication via the in-vehicle network and store the ECU communication in a storage of the wake monitor; and
responsive to detecting vehicle enters one of an ON state or an accessory (ACC) state, load the ECU communication from the storage and send the ECU communication to a server.
8. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
power the wake monitor via a power source independent from a vehicle power supply.
9. The vehicle system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
responsive to detecting vehicle enters an ON state, recharge the power source using power from the vehicle power supply.
10. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the in-vehicle network includes at least one of: a controller area network (CAN), an Ethernet network, or a media-oriented system transport (MOST).
11. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the ECU communication include at least one of: time of in-vehicle network wakeup, identity of a source ECU causing the wakeup, or identities of ECUs involved in communication via the in-vehicle network during the in-vehicle network wakeup, data communicated between ECUs via the in-vehicle network.
12. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters the ON state, deactivate the wake monitor.
13. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
send the ECU communication to the server via a TCU.
14. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
send the ECU communication to the server via a mobile device wirelessly connected to the vehicle system.
15. The vehicle system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more controllers are further programmed to
receive a software update from the server to address the wakeup for the in-vehicle network.
16. A method for a vehicle, comprising:
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters an OFF state, activating a wake monitor connected to an in-vehicle network to monitor for activities;
responsive to detecting the in-vehicle network switches from a sleep mode into a wakeup mode initiated from an electronic controller unit (ECU), identifying the ECU to be a source that wakes up the in-vehicle network and recording an ECU communication associated with the ECU via the in-vehicle network into a storage of the wake monitor; and
responsive to detecting vehicle enters one of an ON state or an accessory (ACC) state, sending the ECU communication to a server.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
powering the wake monitor via a power source independent from a vehicle power supply.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the ECU communication include at least one of: time of in-vehicle network wakeup, identity of a source ECU causing the wakeup, or identities of ECUs involved in communication via the in-vehicle network during the in-vehicle network wakeup, data communicated between ECUs via the in-vehicle network.
19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
responsive to detecting the vehicle enters the ON state, deactivating the wake monitor.
20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
sending the ECU communication to the server via a mobile device wirelessly connected to the vehicle.
