Abstract
A diagnostic method and a diagnostic system for an electrochemical energy storage cell, and a vehicle including the diagnostic system. An electrical current due to an electrical connection between the energy storage cell and a central load is modulated at a first excitation frequency and is measured centrally. An electrical voltage at the energy storage cell is measured and a first impedance value is determined based on the electrical current and the electrical voltage. Also, a previously-known electrical current due to an electrical connection between the energy storage cell and a predefined cell-individual load is modulated at a second excitation frequency. The electrical voltage occurring at the energy storage cell is measured and a second impedance value is determined based on the previously-known electrical current and the electrical voltage. Diagnostic information is determined and output based on a comparison of the first impedance value with the second impedance value.
