1. A failure diagnosis device used for diagnosing presence of failure or abnormal operation of a wheel bearing, comprising:
a housing;
a magnetic coupling part provided in the housing; and
a sensing part provided in the housing and configured to detect physical characteristic related to an operational state of a vehicle,
wherein the sensing part comprises an acceleration sensor configured to collect acceleration information,
wherein the failure diagnosis device is configured to be detachably mounted to one side of a wheel by virtue of a magnetic force generated by the magnetic coupling part, and
wherein the failure diagnosis device is configured to be detachably mounted to one side of the wheel by virtue of the magnetic force generated between a wheel mounting bolt or a wheel mounting nut, which is used to mount the wheel to the wheel bearing, and the magnetic coupling part.
