Abstract
Disclosed are link status diagnostic methods for a vehicle network. A link status diagnostic method performed in a communication node includes: identifying a type of a fault occurring in a link connected to the communication node; generating a signal including a link fault type indicator indicating the type of the fault; and transmitting the signal. Also, the signal is generated and transmitted according to an auto negotiation protocol. Therefore, stability and reliability of the vehicle network can be enhanced, thereby improving overall performance of the vehicle network.
