DTC Analysis Tool
What it does
DTC Analysis Tool helps turn a vehicle VIN, diagnostic trouble codes, and technician context into a diagnostic report.
Root cause direction helps the user review likely failure areas for the codes entered.
Prioritized diagnostic steps help the user decide what to check first instead of treating every possible cause as equal.
Diagnostic Report is the result area where the tool returns the completed analysis.
How to use it
VIN is where you enter the vehicle identification number. Use the full 17-character VIN when it is available.
If the VIN does not provide complete vehicle details, enter make, model and year together, for example Volkswagen, Atlas, 2024. Trim can be skipped.
DTC codes or symptoms accepts codes such as P0171 or P0300, a problem description, or both. A DTC is optional; a symptom is enough to search diagnostic guidance.
Additional Information is optional. Use it for details that may affect the diagnosis, such as the customer complaint, recent repairs, symptoms, smells, warning lights, or when the issue happens.
Report language is optional. Enter skip (or leave it blank) for English, or enter another language.
Generate Report starts the diagnostic report after intake is complete.
After the report and feedback, enter a new VIN to start another analysis.
Copy can be used from the report panel when you want to move the diagnostic report into another system or document.
Print can be used from the report panel when you need a printed copy of the diagnostic report.
