A method includes receiving at least one fault message and receiving a maintenance event log for a vehicle. The maintenance event log includes at least one maintenance event associated with the received fault messages. The method further includes, at a computer, automatically identifying a corrective action within a most recent maintenance event of the maintenance events in the maintenance event log and storing a diagnostic entry including the at least one fault message and the identified corrective action. The diagnostic entry is retrievable from the computing device to evaluate a subsequent like fault message. The automatic identification of a corrective action or repair in the latest maintenance event may search the maintenance event from last word towards the first word for individual corrective actions according to a sequential hierarchy. A part number may be identified in the most recent maintenance event and stored within the diagnostic entry. The diagnostic entry may be assigned a confidence level based upon like corrective actions for like fault messages. The diagnostic entry can be revised in response to a maintenance event in the maintenance event log. The invention provides a common memory suitable to suggest proper corrective actions for future occurrences of fault messages.
