Abstract
A diagnosis command and a display of a diagnosis result using a vehicle diagnosis device upon after-sales inspection or during the inspection (EOL) during vehicle production. Using a diagnostic function of a controller related to a digital key or a fob key (e.g., a body domain controller (BDC), an integrated body control unit (IBU), or an identity authentication unit (IAU)) and using an existing method and equipment (e.g., a vehicle diagnosis device), the position of a UWB module is detected to estimate whether the module is in an abnormal state (installation in an incorrect position, deviation from a correct position, etc.).
