SAE J3083_201703应作为对汽车电子产品进行非手册可靠性预测的指南。它提出了一种利用保修和现场维修数据计算单个电子元件故障率并预测整个电子系统可靠性的方法。它假设用户可以访问包含字段返回数据的数据库，该数据库包含组件分类、故障时间和在字段中运行的组件总数。

SAE J3083_201703 should be used as guidance for non-handbook based reliability predictions conducted on automotive electronics products. It presents a method that utilizes warranty and field repair data to calculate the failure rates of individual electronic components and predict the reliability of the entire electronic system. It assumes that the user has access to a database containing field return data with classification of components, times to failure, and a total number of components operating in the field.
