Claim Text:
1. A method for managing fault messages (m) of a motor vehicle by means of a monitoring computer of a motor vehicle, said monitoring computer comprising: At least two processing processors (P A temporary memory (TMP), of the “first in first out” (FIFO) type without dynamic memory allocation, adapted to store fault messages (m), said temporary memory (TMP) having a predetermined number (NTMP) of storage spaces for storing fault messages (m), A dynamic memory (DYN) for storing fault messages (m) to be read by a mechanic's diagnostic tool, said dynamic memory (DYN) having a predetermined number (NDYN) of storage spaces for storing fault messages (m), At least one of the processors (P A predetermined filtering index (F) associating a filtering decision with an input pair composed of the priority ranking (mr) of a fault message (m) and the number (NTMP-O) of temporary spaces occupied in the temporary storage memory (TMP) on the arrival of said fault message (m), where said filtering decision may be a storage authorization (Y) or a storage refusal (N), Said filtering index (F) associating a storage authorization (Y) with an input pair in which the number (NTMP-O) of temporary spaces occupied in the temporary storage memory (TMP) is low and in which the priority ranking (mr) of said fault message (m) is high, Said filtering index associating a storage refusal (N) with an input pair in which the number (NTMP-O) of temporary spaces occupied in the temporary storage memory (TMP) is high and in which the priority ranking (mr) of said fault message (m) is low, A step (E A step (E A filtering step (E A step (E
