ABSTRACT Remote Vehicle Diagnostic System is used in vehicles to share in-vehicle sensor and diagnostic
information
with
remote
computers, enabling vehicle diagnosis and maintenance to be performed remotely while the vehicle is being driven. In addition to this various vehicle parameters like live sensors data, Freeze Frame Data, Diagnostic Trouble Code,
etc. are monitored to
determine the faults and to predict the necessary

The outcome of the project will be a client server communication box using OBDII port and GSM/GPRS module which is capable of diagnosing the faults in a vehicle and alerting the driver and sends the data to the remote server. Wireless remote monitoring and fault diagnosis system for electric vehicle, which gets vehicle data via CAN bus, transmits data to monitoring center by GPRS and Internet network. It implements the functions of real-time monitoring, fault diagnosis, alarm and so on.
