Abstract

Techniques for diagnosing and disambiguating a bias in one or more axels of a bidirectional four-wheel drive vehicle. In some examples, the diagnostics system may diagnose and disambiguate the bias in the two axles by collecting data related to the movement of the vehicle while the vehicle traverses a zero curvature path in a forward direction. The diagnostics system may then determine a bias in an axle acting as the rear axle based on the collected data. The bias in the axle acting as the front axle may then be determined based on the collected data and the bias in the rear axle.
