The embodiment of the invention discloses a fault diagnosis method, an information determination method as well as a corresponding device and equipment. The method comprises the following steps: analyzing a prestored
encryption diagnostic protocol packet, acquiring at least one diagnostic protocol, wherein the
encryption diagnostic protocol packet is determined and sent by a diagnosis
server in advance, sending a diagnosis request containing the diagnostic protocol to a to-be-diagnosed vehicle, so as to enable the to-be-diagnosed vehicle to perform fault diagnosis on a corresponding function according to the received diagnosis request, performing interaction on the to-be-diagnosed vehicle and a user terminal based on a
near field communication protocol, and receiving and displaying a faultdiagnosis result, sent by the to-be-diagnosed vehicle, in a set display mode. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the invention takes the user terminal as an intermediary, the diagnosis
server firstly interacts with the user terminal, the diagnosis protocol is stored in the user terminal, when diagnosis is required, the to-be-diagnosed vehicle interacts with the user terminal by virtueof the
near field communication protocol, and effective fault diagnosis is realized.
