description Since automobile engine fault is the main factor leading to a vehicle breaking down, engine fault diagnosis has captured a lot of attention. Fault diagnosis identifies fault types to facilitate maintenance. However, the method of the warning before the fault occurs is more attractive to users and is more challenging. Therefore, this study would like to explore the feasibility of implementing automobile engine fault early warning based on the fault diagnosis model. First, the theoretical method of a fault domain is established, and the state of the engine is regarded as a point in n-dimensional space. The normal or fault of the engine will correspond to different state domains in this space. Second, to diagnose multiple fault types at the same time, an ensemble model based on multiple machine learning methods is established. The probability outputs by the ensemble model measure the distance between the point and each fault domain in the space. Finally, considering the temporal factor, an early warning threshold is established based on the probability, and a fault warning model is established by using the dual probability structure. Comparative experiments show that the proposed method can greatly reduce the calculation time based on ensuring the accuracy of early warning and is suitable for real-time early warning of multiple faults.
