Vehicle diagnostic code communication device and a method for transmitting diagnostic data utilizing the vehicle diagnostic code communication device

摘要

A vehicle diagnostic code communication device (24) and a method for transmitting diagnostic data utilizing the vehicle diagnostic code communication device (24) are provided. The vehicle diagnostic code communication device (24) includes a diagnostic link connector (26) configured to receive signals indicating a diagnostic code associated with vehicle operation and a microprocessor (28) operably coupled to the diagnostic link connector (26). The microprocessor (28) is configured to determine at least one of diagnostic textual data and diagnostic audio data based on the diagnostic code and to induce an RF transmitter (34) to transmit a first RF signal having at least one of the diagnostic textual data and the diagnostic audio data.
