A diagnostic system includes a host system having a processor, storage media and a user interface including a display screen, and a plurality of suport data sources, which may be resident at or remote from the host system. The system stores libraries of information regarding vehicle identifications, driveability symptoms exhibited by vehicles, vehicle systems and components, service or maintenance procedures and service or fault codes which can be registered by the vehicle on-board computer. System software permits the user to input an identification of the vehicle being serviced and make selections from the displayed libraries to describe the condition to be serviced, the system responding by display a list of tests designations pertinent to the condition, which list may be hierarchically arranged. Upon selection of a test designation, the system automatically displays the first page of the test description and automatically links to appropriate support data sources and displays pertinent support data on a portion of the display screen, simultaneously with display of the test description. As the user scrolls through successive pages of a test description and successive tests, the system continues to automatically link to and display the appropriate support data.
