Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps comprising: (i) receiving tire air temperature data of a vehicle from a tire-pressure monitoring system; (ii) receiving a message with at least one antilock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensor fault code of the vehicle from an ABS controller; (iii) analyzing the tire air temperature data to determine when the tire air temperature data indicates that at least one of a plurality of tires associated with the vehicle exhibits a tire air temperature above a first predetermined threshold; (iv) when the tire air temperature data indicates that the at least one of a plurality of tires associated with the vehicle exhibits the tire air temperature above the first predetermined threshold, analyzing the message to determine when the at least one antilock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensor fault code in the message corresponds to a wheel end associated with the at least one of the plurality of tires; and (v) when the at least one antilock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensor fault code in the message corresponds to the wheel end associated with the at least one of the plurality of tires, initiating at least one of a shutdown or derate procedure for the vehicle.
