Abstract
Diagnosing auxiliary equipment associated with an engine. A condition of the auxiliary equipment is diagnosed based on information provided by signals from a generator operationally connected to the auxiliary equipment or other signals associated with the engine. Different types of degradation are distinguished based on discerning characteristics within the information. Thus, a degraded auxiliary equipment component can be identified in a manner that reduces service induced delay.
