A method of monitoring the temperature of an axle includes the steps of reading temperatures from an axle of a vehicle, comparing the read temperatures with expected temperatures, and sending warning signals when necessary. A temperature sensor may be used to read temperatures of the axle and send temperature signals to a control to perform computations and compare the computations with expected temperatures. Furthermore, the control may send warning signals to a display to indicate that a problem may exist.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of monitoring temperatures of an axle to determine if the axle is experiencing a problem, the method comprising:a. reading a plurality of temperatures of the axle taken over period of time;b. comparing said read temperatures with an expected temperature information of said axle wherein said expected temperature information includes a threshold temperature, a threshold number, a threshold mean temperature, a threshold standard deviation, a threshold moving average, and a threshold peak temperature of said axle; andc. if said read temperatures differ from said expected temperature, then indicating said axle is experiencing a problem.
