METHOD FOR DETECTING FAULTS RELATED TO WHEELS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE IN A DRIVING SITUATION

The subject matter of the invention is a method for detecting faults related to wheels of a motor vehicle in a driving situation, comprising: a step (S) of automatically determining a first series of corrective steering wheel angles applied successively to force the vehicle to follow a path parallel to a first rectilinear portion of a traffic lane; a step (S) of automatically detecting, from the corrective steering wheel angles of the first series, the presence of a fault affecting a pair of steering wheels of the vehicle; and, optionally: a step (S) of estimating a type of fault associated with the detected fault, a step (S) of identifying the steering wheel of the pair of wheels affected by the fault; and a step (S) of generating a warning message for the attention of the driver of the motor vehicle, the message including the estimated type of fault and the wheel identified as having the fault.
